OPERATION

Transmission and Reception Range, as well as receiving quality of a wireless transmitter and receiver
system vary according to surrounding conditions. These functions should therefore be tested before
taking the actual photography.www.4.butkus.org

       1. Rotate the mounting screw (Fig. M) to securely attach the bracket to Chinon Power Winder
      dedicated for CE-4 compact SLR camera.

       2. Use mounting screw (Fig. K) to firmly install the receiver to bracket mounting hole (Fig. N).

       3. Use a connecting cord to connect receiver output jack to the remote control socket of the
     power winder.

       *Set the power switch of power winder to ''OFF " position.

       4. Extend the receiver antenna fully.

       5. Set the receiver power switch to " ON "

       6. Push the release button of the transmitter and ensure that the receiver check lamp
       (Fig. F) lights.

         *If the check lamp does not light, check battery of transmitter and receiver. The check
     lamp does not light if either of the batteries is improperly installed or depleted.

       7. Lock the shutter release button of power winder by sliding the release lock button (only
       for model PW-530).

     *Do not lock the shutter release button of power winder model PW-540.

       8. Set the C/S dial of power winder to the " S " (single frame exposure) or " C
        " (continuous) position.

       9. By depressing the release button, you can control Chinon power winder remotely at a
      distance of approximately 40 meters (130ft).


REMOVAL OF WIRELESS CONTROL SET

www.orphancameras.com

       1. Set the power switch of power winder to " OFF ".

       2. Release the shutter release lock of power winder.

       3. Set the power switch of receiver to " OFF''.

       4. Disconnect the connecting cord from the receiver.


*If you disconnect the connecting cord without releasing the shutter release lock, the shutter may be
released.

EMPLOYABLE RANGE

       1. Noise or faulty operation can be experienced if wireless transmitter and receiver are
      operated at excessive distance from each other.

       2. Transmitting range varies according to surrounding conditions. With new batteries in
      both wireless transmitter and receiver, and in absence of interference from buildings and
      other structures, the transmitting range is approximately 40 meters (130 ft.).

       3. Sensitivity can be reduced due to signal reflections and scattering if used near metallic
       structures or within narrow ferro-concrete rooms. If this type of situation prevails, separate
      wireless transmitter and receiver from such structures by 1 to 2 meters (3 to 6 ft).

       4. Also, the wireless transmitter antenna must hang vertically and the receiver antenna
        fully extended. Bundling or shortening the antennas reduces transmitting range.

       5. Transmission range decreases as batteries become depleted. Observe receiver check
     lamp procedures and replace batteries when required.

NOTE:

       1. Avoid using in or near airport or aircraft.

       2. Use in countries other than where purchased may be restricted by law.

       3. Avoid using in locations subject to high temperature or Humidity.

       4. Do not lift, handle or bundle wireless transmitter wire. Bundling or stretching may also
     damage the transmitter.

       5. Increasing antenna length or modifying the transmitter structure may lead to damage and in
       addition violate government communications regulations.

       6. After each shooting session, be sure to turn off camera main switch, power winder switch,
       transmitter switch and receiver switch.

* Batteries should be removed when not using the equipment for long periods of time.
