D: Fast Mode - RECEIVER –
/MENU A D
The MultiMAX is designed to sync cameras and flash units at
shutters speeds up to 1/250th for most focal plane shutters (35mm)
and 1/500th for most leaf shutters. Some camera and flash
combinations are capable of fast sync speeds up to 1/1000th. The
MultiMAX (set for RECEIVE mode) is capable of operation at these
speeds in Fast Mode. Check your camera’s and flash unit’s manuals
for the maximum sync speeds allowed by your equipment.
A MultiMAX (set for RECEIVE mode) in fast mode will show FAST MODE on the display. While in
this mode Quad-Triggering and Relay Mode are not available and the A B C D L keys perform no
function on a RECEIVE unit. A MultiMAX (set for TRANSMIT mode) will trigger RECEIVE units in
FAST MODE with any remote zone selected, but will perform confirmation only on zone A.

key for 3 seconds to
toggle keypad lock on or off.
All keys are locked except

While the keypad is locked pressing any of the keys, A B C D L ▲▼ or /MENU will

High Voltage Protection
Many electronic cameras can be damaged by high flash sync voltage. Refer to your camera’s manual
for more information. The MultiMAX protects the camera from high flash sync voltage. The MultiMAX
can accept up to 250 volts, but there is only a safe 3.1 volts present at the hot shoe or PORT 1. A camera
triggering a MultiMAX (set for TRANSMIT mode) via the hot shoe or PORT 1 only encounters 3.1 volts.
This voltage is not MultiMAX battery dependent and will not vary over the life of the batteries.

See the Hot Shoe Note in the Specifications section, Page 50, for more information.
USB Port
The MultiMAX includes a USB connector that is intended for future firmware upgrades. Any
available upgrades will appear on the PocketWizard Web site www.pocketwizard.com, and can be
downloaded with a USB connecting cable (not included). Complete instructions will be published
on the website in the near future.
Please Note: The MultiMax is not configured as portable storage device; do not attempt to power
another USB device with the MultiMax. The MultiMAX cannot be powered via the USB port.
