Pocket Wizard MultiMAX Owner's Manual - True Confirmation
1
True Confirmation
Because the MultiMAX is a true transceiver it automatically confirms triggering. It can
perform this on two levels: it confirms the round trip radio signal and can confirm actual
flash sync with an optional flash confirmation cable. It does this for all Quad-Triggering
zones on every trigger. Confirmation is indicated visually on the main screen and audibly
using beep modes.

For audible confirmation settings see the Beep Menu section, Page 28.
Radio
Radio confirmation is displayed on TRANSMIT units in the A B C D area of the LCD. An
inverted letter shows an error. A normal letter shows confirmation.
During normal operation the display will show selected and active A B C D zones not
inverted. Confirmation will occur on every trigger and only in the event of an error will the
zone letters invert.
Optional Flash Confirmation Cable
Using the flash confirmation cable the MultiMAX can confirm flash sync for all four zones
on every trigger.
1. Attach flash confirmation cable to PORT 1 for each MultiMAX (set for RECEIVE mode)
2. Locate the sensor so that it can only see the flash from the correct flash unit
3. Press the TEST button on a MultiMAX (set for TRANSMIT mode) to test flash
confirmation. Correct flash confirmation is displayed on the main screen with a flash
icon to the right of each zone performing flash confirmation. In the event of an error
(either no flash was detected or the radio link was incomplete) the zone letter and the
flash icon will invert
A MultiMAX (set for TRANSMIT mode) will look for RECEIVE units and confirm the radio
link after each of these operations:
Every trigger
Power on or switch from RECEIVE to TRANSMIT
Channel change
Zone change (including L)
