Installation and Use

Removing the Hotshoe
Your housing came with a manual hotshoe installed. This
hotshoe must be removed prior to installing the TTL kit.
The hotshoe is attached by male connector to the female
1.
socket of the bulkhead. Depress the tab on the male
connector.
Hold the female connector while gently pulling the male
2.
connector out of its socket.
Store the manual hotshoe in a small sealed plastic bag
3.
along with your spare parts.
The manual hotshoe may be reinstalled at a later time to
4.
bypass TTL operation.
Installing the TTL Kit
Remove the camera mounting tray from the housing.
1.
Using the included 1/16" hex key, loosen the set screw on
2.
the left side of the housing mounting tray.
Looking into the housing from the back, orient the TTL kit
3.
with the hotshoe on your left and the male connector end
towards the front of the housing.
Slide the TTL kit into the center of the housing mounting
4.
tray. The male connector should come out the front of the
housing mounting tray near the port opening.
Re-tighten the 1/16" set screw until it stops. Do not over-
5.
tighten.
Line up the tab of the male connector with the female
6.
socket of the bulkhead and push gently together. The tab
will click into place when properly connected.
Connecting Your Camera
Install your camera in the housing using the camera
1.
mounting tray.
Orient the arrow on the top of the TTL Kit hotshoe to point
2.
towards the front of the camera.
Slide the TTL kit hotshoe onto the camera's hotshoe.
3.
Press the back of the hotshoe firmly to ensure that it is as
4.
far forward as possible on the camera.
Failure to push the hotshoe far enough forward may
»
result in lack of TTL or failure to fire strobes.
