The receiver connects to your camera's remote control port. The transmitter communicates wirelessly with the receiver.

• Attach the receiver to your camera's hot shoe. This provides a secure mounting point but does not affect flash operation as the shutter release does not use the hot shoe interface for electrical connection.
• Connect one end of the provided shutter connecting cable to the receiver.
• Connect the other end of the shutter connecting cable to the remote control port on your Olympus camera.
• Переконайтеся, що і передавач, і приймач увімкнені.
