FreeXwire model FW7Q
Remote Operation/Digital Wireless TTL for Qflash 4d/5d
Quantum Instruments Inc.
FreeXwire model FW7Q is a dedicated receiver for Qflash models T4d, X4d, T5d, and X5d. It is
compatible with FreeXwire Transmitter FW9T and Transceiver FW10 and provides remote
operation and digital wireless TTL for Qflash series 4d/5d
1. Mounting FreeXwire FW7Q
Turn off Qflash power before mounting the FW7Q.
FW7Q plugs into the lower Accessory socket of Qflash, as shown in the diagram.
[diagram 1]
For added stability a hook-and- loop pad is mounted on the back of Receiver FW7Q. One
part of this pad will be attached to the Qflash housing as follows:
Note where the hook and loop pad will come into contact with the Qflash housing when
FW7Q is plugged into the lower Accessory socket. Clean the area of any dirt or grease.
Remove the adhesive liner from the pad (without touching the adhesive), and align and
mount FW7Q. Then press the FW7Q housing firmly against Qflash so that the hook and loop
pad adheres to the Qflash housing.
You can now remove and re-mount FW7Q when you need to use it. Additional hook and
loop pads are included with FW7Q. They can be used to place additional pads on other
Qflash units, or as a replacement.
2. Powering FW7Q
Qflash series 4d/5d powers the FreeXwire FW7Q. When Qflash is powered, the green LED
indicator on the FW7Q should blink once per second.
3. Setting the Channel Code
The Channel Codes allow FreeXwire’s to work together. Set the same Channel Code as your
transmitter unit FW8 or FW10 (FW10 should be set as TX).
Rotate the dial to the desired Code, 0 through 7. To rotate, press the pad of your thumb on
the dial and turn. Or, use a small screwdriver. Channels can be matched by number or by
the position of the cutout in the Channel dial.
