S uccessful radio triggering depends on several factors. Please read these setup steps before using the L-478DR-PX
Series to radio trigger flash units.
1. It is the best to position the meter in sight of the radio receiver.
2. Position the radio receiver so that it is away from large metallic objects, concrete, or containers of water (like
people).
3. When triggering a studio-type flash using the connecting cables included with the Strato II set, be sure to position
the Strato II within line of sight so that the Strato II is above the flash body or generator pack.
4. Sometimes, conditions do not allow radio reception. These could include strong local radio interference or
being near objects that block or absorb the signal. Repositioning the radio, even slightly, can reestablish contact.
Alternatively, check to see if the radio receiver is behind objects that absorb or block radio waves, such as concrete,
metal or low hill.
5. Operation is the best when the meter to receiver distance is within 30 meters. The working distance of the radio
triggering system can vary with the orientation and location of the meter and receivers.
