Transceiver Control
The MultiMAX operates as either a transmitter or a receiver. To use the MultiMAX as a
Transmitter (sending device) set the power switch to TRANSMIT. To use the MultiMAX as a
Receiver set the power switch to RECEIVE.
☞
There is a special mode that enables a MultiMAX to automatically switch from
RECEIVE to TRANSMIT then back to RECEIVE while triggering a remote camera. Read
the Relay Mode section, Page 39, for more information.
Channels
The MultiMAX is a 32 channel digital radio slave. Each MultiMAX channel represents a
digital code transmitted on specific PocketWizard radio frequencies. This enables many
photographers to work in the same area. It also enables a photographer to control multiple
remote devices (cameras, flash units, etc).
A MultiMAX (set for TRANSMIT mode) will trigger any number of MultiMAX units (set for
RECEIVE mode) set to the same channel. Units set to different channels will not interfere
with each other.
From the main screen press the ▲▼ keys to change channels.
Some MultiMAX features are only available on higher channels. Refer to the table below for
