Changing the Remote Group

If after selecting the Remote Group you wish to change it, press the

Set

button and the Group will highlight. Use the

Left (-)

and

Right (+)

buttons to scroll through the Remote Group choices or use the Remote
Group soft keys that appear.

Using the Radio

The radio will default to receive (Rx) mode. You may still need to select
the proper channel to match the Channel on the local Qflashes. See
section 8.0 for setting the Channel and Zones on the Trio. The function
of the remote Trio depends on the settings of the local Qflash.

If the local Qflash is :
1. A Trio set to advanced multi (AM), see section 18. Or if a 5d-R set to
Wireless Control, then mode, power, F/number and ISO for the remote
Trio is set on the display of the Local flash.

2. A Trio (or 5d-R) set to QTTLwR (QR), see section 13. Then the
remote Trio will automatically be set QTTL ratio. The ratio adjustments
for Groups R1 and R2 would be done on the display of the local flash.

3. A Trio (or 5d-R) is set to any other mode, then the remote Trio set to
Group R1 and R2 would default to Linked to local Qflash, and produce
the same exposure as the local flash.
