the LED's, reinstall the LED Strobe Trigger following the steps above or refer to section 4 -
"Troubleshooting".
iv. Test the LED Strobe Trigger with the strobe. Make sure the strobe is properly charged prior
to performing the test. Turn the strobe on and set it to "Manual" operation mode. Turn the
camera and the LED Strobe Trigger on. Place the strobe in front of the camera so it faces
the camera lens. Place one of the LED's featured at the end of the LED cable in front of the
strobe slave sensor. Capture an image by fully depressing the camera shutter release. The
light emitted by the LED should trigger the strobe to fire in sync with the camera, resulting
with an overexposed image, in which the output of the strobe is visible. If the strobe isn't
triggered by the LED, refer to section 4 – "Troubleshooting".
d. If your housing features built-in LED trigger ports, proceed to step e below. If your housing
doesn't feature dedicated LED trigger ports, the spongy LED trigger ports included in the
package should be installed inside the housing:
i. Peel the protective film off the sticker side of the spongy LED trigger ports and stick them
inside the housing, against the fiber optic cable ports facing the camera built-in flash. Make
sure that the center of the spongy LED trigger ports is positioned exactly opposite to the
center of the fiber optic cable ports to allow for the light emitted by the LED's to be
transmitted through the fiber optic cables (Fig.7).
ii. If your housing features a transparent window against the camera built-in flash instead of
fiber optic cable ports, it is best to attach the fiber optic cables to the transparent window
prior to installing the spongy LED trigger ports in order to allow for perfect alignment of the
spongy LED trigger ports with the fiber optic cables.
e. Attach the LED cable port to the housing LED trigger ports (spongy or built-in) by inserting
the LED's featured at the end of the cable into the housing LED trigger ports and gently
pushing them all the way in (Fig.8).
