“c0” is automatic recognition mode. When “c0” is displayed, use the camera flash and release a test
exposure. The photocell detects the number of flashes the camera released and memorizes the value
automatically. Or, manually setup the number of pre-flashes as follows:

If you have selected "c1", the unit will auto-flash immediately when another flash is activated in the same
area.
If you have selected "c2" the unit will auto-flash on the second flash detected by the photocell.
If you have selected "c3", the unit will auto-flash on the third flash detected by the photocell.
If you have selected "c4", the unit will auto-flash on the fourth flash detected by the photocell.
If you have selected "c5", the unit will auto-flash on the fifth flash detected by the photocell.
If you have selected "c6", the unit will auto-flash on the sixth flash detected by the photocell.
If you have selected "c7", the unit will auto-flash on the seventh flash detected by the photocell.

To exit Setup mode, press and hold the Slave button for 4 seconds, or continue with the following additional
parameter setups.

NOTE: The photocell is very sensitive, but some experimentation with positioning may be necessary to
ensure a reliable trigger, particularly if the cell is not in the direct line of sight of the triggering flash unit.
Avoid directly illuminating the photocell from a continuous light source (such as ceiling lights or windows)
since this can prevent correct operation. Very high ceilings can also affect the operation of the photocell.
