Getting Started Using your PocketWizard Max 13. Install batteries or use an AC adapter in the transmitter and receiver. 14.

receiver. To fire the local pack, the local - both - remote switch should be in the Local or Both position. NOTE: Most modern flash packs have low voltage, low current sync terminals. Some older packs have as much as 400 volts applied across the sync terminals. The PocketWizard Max is designed to work with voltages as high as 300 volts, and may not work with higher voltage packs. If you have an older flash unit, check with the manufacturer to make sure your pack will not exceed these limits.
The “L” is for a Local strobe, attached to the sync-out port on the Transmitter. This is used to toggle on and off a strobe at the camera position. Other Buttons The TEST button on the transmitter will send a radio signal to the appropriate receivers and/or trip the local strobe. Of course, if there is no radios turned on (ie, if it is set to channels 17-32 and the A, B, C, and D indicators are off) no radio signal will be sent. Also, if the L indicator is not on, the local strobe will not be tripped.
