If the terminal is on the front of the camera, remove the lens or camera body cap (). Attach the WR-A10, keeping the mounting mark () aligned with the mark on the terminal ). After tightening the WR-A10 locking screw (), rotate the WR-A10 () and attach the WR-R10 () as shown by the marks on the adapter () and WR-R10 ().

Note: Be sure the connectors are in the correct orientation; do not use force or insert the connectors at an angle. Note that the WR-R10 can not be used with certain accessories. Using force or inserting connectors at an angle could damage the camera or accessory.

To remove the WR-R10, reverse the above steps. To remove the WR-A10, press the release button (Figure 1-) while sliding the adapter from the WR-R10.

The Fn Button

When a WR-R10 is mounted on the cameras below, the Fn button on the WR-T10 performs the function currently assigned to the camera Fn button. See the camera manual for details.

Using the WR-T10 (Transmitter)

The shutter-release button on the WR-T10 performs the same functions as the camera shutter-release button whether pressed halfway or all the way down. See the camera manual for details.

Channel Selection and Pairing
If the camera fails to respond to the shutter-release button on the WR-T10, re-establish the link between the WR-T10 and the receiver by matching channels and pairing the devices as described below.

1. Set the units to the same channel.
   Set the channel selectors on both units to the same channel (5, 10, or 15). Devices on diff erent channels can not be paired, while paired devices can only be used together when both are set to the same channel.
   
   
2. Pair the devices.
   After turning the camera on, place the two devices close together and press the pairing buttons on both units simultaneously. Keep the buttons pressed until the red and green LEDs on the WR-R10 fl ash on and off in sequence, indicating that pairing is complete.
   
   To erase pairing data, turn the camera on and keep the WR-R10 pairing button pressed for about 3 seconds until the green LED fl ashes rapidly, and then quickly press the pairing button twice before the green LED stops fl ashing. The green and red LEDs will both fl ash twice simultaneously to show that all pairing data has been erased.

Controlling Multiple Cameras

The following options are available with multiple WR-R10 units, each mounted on a separate camera.

Using a WR-T10 (Simultaneous Release)

If the WR-R10 units are paired with and on the same channel as a WR-T10, the shutters on all cameras can be released simultaneously by pressing the WR-T10 shutter-release button all the way down.

Synchronizing Multiple Cameras (Synchronized Release)

A WR-R10 mounted on a camera with ten-pin remote terminal can be used to control WR-R10 units on multiple remote cameras.

1. Attach the WR-R10 units.
   Attach WR-R10 units to the master camera (any camera with a ten-pin remote terminal) and all remote cameras as described in "Using the WR-R10 (Transceiver)".
2. Set all the units to the same channel.
3. Pair the cameras.
   Turn the cameras on and press the pairing buttons on the WR-R10 on the master camera and one of the remote cameras. Keep the buttons pressed until the red and green LEDs fl ash on and off in sequence, indicating that pairing is complete. Repeat until the master camera is paired with all the remote cameras.
4. Take pictures.
   The shutters on all cameras will be released when the shutter-release button on the master camera is pressed all the way down.

Multiple Channels

The remote cameras can be divided into up to three groups by selecting diff erent channels for the cameras in each group after pairing and then changing the channel for the WR-T10 or master WR-R10 to control only the remote cameras on the selected channel.

Precautions for Use

• To prevent malfunction, be sure the WR-R10 units are correctly attached.
• The shutter-release buttons on the camera and WR-T10 can not be used when the camera is in remote control (ML-L3) release mode.
• Disconnect WR-R10 units when they are not in use. Carrying a camera in a bag or by the strap with a WR-R10 attached risks damage to the camera or the WR-R10 in the event that the camera is exposed to strong physical shocks or vibration.

Compatibility
Wireless remote controllers can not be used with D1series cameras or the MB-D100. They can be used with the F100, D2X, D2Xs, D2Hs, and D200, but the shutter can not be released with the F100 in self-timer mode, while the D2X, D2Xs, D2Hs, and D200 will temporarily display if the exposure meters are activated after the unit is attached.
