baTTeries

CAUTION: Turn OFF your equipment (PocketWizard units,

electronic flash units, cameras, etc.) before making connections

or changing batteries.

Install 2 fresh AA (IEC:LR6) batteries into the Plus II Transceiver.

Make sure to note proper polarity. Alkaline batteries are recommended.

Rechargeable batteries will also work, though operation time may be reduced.

When the STATUS LEDs stop blinking, it is time to change the batteries.

Battery life is approximately 60 hours under typical use.

See NOTE 1 for more battery information.

WARNING – To avoid battery leakage, follow these guidelines:

• Always remove the batteries when the unit is not in use for extended periods of time,

or during shipping or long distance travel.

• Never mix old and new batteries. Always use a fresh pair of matched batteries.

• Always change batteries promptly at the first indication of low battery operation.

• Do not use or leave the unit in extreme temperature or humidity situations.

See “Technical Information” for normal operating and storage temperatures.

seTuP for remoTe flash Triggering

Camera Setup

Connect a Plus II Transceiver to the camera using one of the following methods:

Remote Flash Setup

Connect the Plus II Transceiver’s FLASH port to the flash unit’s sync terminal using:

a) the correct PocketWizard flash sync cable for best results.

- or -

b) your flash unit’s original sync cable and a PC female adapter

(PocketWizard part number MPCF (804-605)).

You may have as many remote Plus II Transceivers on the same

channel as you would like. Connecting 2 flashes to a single

Plus II Transceiver will not work. See NOTE 3.

Triggering

1. Turn on both Plus II Transceivers, and turn on the camera and flash.

2. On both Plus II Transceivers make sure that:

• The STATUS LEDs on each Plus II Transceiver blink every

few seconds.

• The same channel is selected using the CHANNEL slide switch.

• The TRANSMIT MODE switch is set to BOTH (middle position

which is default operation).

3. Press the TEST button on the camera’s Plus II Transceiver to

confirm that the remote flash triggers.

4. Begin triggering normally.

Slide the Plus II

Transceiver into

the camera’s hot

shoe and tighten

the hot shoe nut.

Option 1

Connect a PC sync

cable from the camera’s

PC terminal to the port

labeled CAMERA / FLASH.

Option 2

Shown with

default settings.

Connecting a Flash to the Camera’s Transceiver (Local Flash)

A LOCAL flash is usually a non-TTL flash that is mounted on or near the camera,

for example on the camera’s bracket. It can be triggered from the camera’s

Plus II Transceiver ensuring perfect synchronization with remote flashes.

See below for using a LOCAL TTL FLASH.

1. On the camera’s Plus II Transceiver, connect the

FLASH port to your local flash unit’s sync terminal.

Use a PocketWizard flash sync cable for best results.

2. Use the TRANSMIT MODE switch to creatively

select which flashes will trigger:

• LOCAL = Only the flash connected to

the camera’s Transceiver will trigger.

Remote PocketWizards will not trigger.

• BOTH (Default) = Both the local and remote

flashes will trigger in perfect synchronization.

• REMOTE = Only the flashes connected

to remote PocketWizards will trigger.

The flash connected to the camera’s

Plus II Transceiver will not trigger.

Local TTL Flash

Plus II Transceivers do not transmit TTL information.

You can use a TTL flash directly connected to your

camera and have remote flashes (not in TTL mode)

triggered by PocketWizards.

See NOTE 4 for important timing information.

To operate in this manner, simply connect the

Transceiver’s CAMERA / FLASH port to your camera’s

PC terminal and make all other camera to TTL flash connections normally.

Alternate Connection Method: You may connect a local flash directly

to your camera’s PC terminal. In this case, the local flash will always

trigger regardless of the position of the TRANSMIT MODE switch.

See NOTE 4 for important timing information.

Triggering a remoTe Camera

A Plus II Transceiver, paired with any PocketWizard Transmitter, can be used to

trigger a remote camera. The camera needs to have an electronic shutter release

connection and have a compatible PocketWizard motor drive cable available.

Please visit www.PocketWizard.com to determine the correct motor drive cable.

Basic Remote Camera Setup

1. Connect a Plus II Transceiver’s

CAMERA / FLASH port to the motor

drive port of the camera using a

PocketWizard motor drive cable.

2. Make sure the Plus II Transceiver

and the hand-held PocketWizard are

set to the same channel and turned on.

3. Press the TEST button on the hand-held

PocketWizard to trigger the remote camera.

You can have a flash directly connected to the remote camera. Connecting a flash to the

FLASH port of the Plus II Transceiver will not work in this setup. See NOTE 3.

relay mode

You can trigger a remote flash in sync with your remote camera. This is called

relay mode and requires only 3 PocketWizards. Here is how it works:

• You press TEST on a PocketWizard that you are holding in your hands.

• The Plus II Transceiver connected to your remote

camera receives the signal and triggers your camera.

• The Plus II Transceiver switches to transmit mode,

one channel higher, and waits for the camera to

provide a sync pulse.

• The PocketWizard connected to your flash receives

the camera’s sync pulse and triggers your flash.

Hand Held

Trigger

Remote Camera

Relay Mode Setup

1. Set the master triggering PocketWizard

(the one in your hands) to Channel 1.

2. Set the Plus II Transceiver (the one for your remote

camera) to Channel 1 and set TRANSMIT MODE to BOTH.

3. Connect the Plus II Transceiver’s CAMERA / FLASH port to

the motor drive port of the camera.

4. Slide the Plus II Transceiver into your camera’s hot shoe.

5. Set the PocketWizard for your remote flash to Channel 2.

6. Connect your remote flash to its PocketWizard normally.

7. Turn everything on, then press and release TEST on the

PocketWizard in your hands to begin the sequence.

If you are using a camera with no hot shoe, or the hot shoe cannot be used, then

connect the Plus II in this manner: Connect the camera’s motor drive cable to the FLASH

port. Connect the camera’s PC sync terminal to the CAMERA / FLASH port.

You can use different channels to perform the relay function. The

master triggering PocketWizard (usually the one held in your hand)

and the Plus II Transceiver connected to your remote camera need

to be on the same channel. The PocketWizard connected to your

remote flash needs to be set one channel higher.

Turning Off Relay Mode

If you want to trigger a remote camera and have the Plus II mounted in the

camera’s hot shoe, but you do not want the relay sequence to happen, simply

set the TRANSMIT MODE switch to LOCAL on the unit in the camera’s shoe.

See NOTE 5 for more information on relay triggering.

Using Hot Shoe

Without Hot Shoe

TransmiT mode only

The Plus II can be set to operate only as a Transmitter

and perform no Receive or Relay function.

Transmit Only Mode is helpful when 2 or more

photographers are sharing remote flash units on

the same PocketWizard channel, and are using

one or more Plus II units as Transmitters from

their cameras.

In normal operation, when the first photographer triggers

their camera, the second photographer’s Plus II performs

Receive/Relay functions. This may occur when an

immediate Transmit function is desired, for example when

the photographers are triggering within moments of each

other and using a fast recycling flash. In addition, the second photographer’s

on-camera flash may be triggered unintentionally. Transmit Only Mode resolves

these potential situations.

Activating Transmit Only Mode

Step 1: Turn off the Plus II unit(s) being used for Transmit

Step 2: Press and hold the TEST button as you turn the unit back on

The Status LEDs will show a fast blinking pattern indicating Transmit Only Mode. You

can verify Transmit Only operation by triggering any other PocketWizard Transmitter

and noting that this unit does not respond.

Transmit Only Mode is not remembered when the unit is turned off. You will need to

activate Transmit Only Mode every time you need it.

To return the unit to Normal Mode, turn it off and back on again normally. Do not hold

down TEST when powering on. The Status LED’s will show the normal slow blinking

pattern indicating normal mode.
