or receiver for triggering remote ashes and cameras. It requires
at least one other PocketWizard radio for wireless triggering. It
can be connected to almost any remote ash or camera with the

Using your
Connecting:
Connect a Plus III to your camera via the hot shoe. This will be your transmit-
ting radio. Connect a Plus III to each of your remote ashes using a connecting
cable (see PocketWizard.com/support/cable_nder). These will be your receiving
radios.
Powering On:
Install batteries noting the proper polarity. To turn on your Plus III, hold down the
Power On/Off and MODE Button < > for about two seconds. The Status LED
blinks green every few seconds to indicate normal operation. It will blink red in
sync with a trigger. Hold down the Power On/Off and MODE Button for about two
seconds to turn off your Plus III.
Channels & Zones:
Your Plus III needs to be on the same channel as other PocketWizard radios.
Channels can be set via the Plus III’s Channel Up/Down Buttons < >. Any
transmitting PocketWizard radio can trigger a receiving Plus III and a Plus III can
trigger any receiving PocketWizard radio. When using Channels 17-32, you can
specify Zones A, B, C, and D. See “Channels and Zones” section for more info.

NOTE: Auto-Relay Mode allows you to trigger remote ashes in sync with a remote camera and
requires only three PocketWizard radios. A Plus III Transceiver attached to a remote camera can
receive on one channel and then transmit on another channel to trigger remote ashes in sync
with the remote camera.
Auto-Relay Mode
Triggering Modes
Modes of Operation
Your Plus III Transceiver supports six modes of triggering for different
applications. You can switch between modes by pressing and quickly releasing
the MODE button.
TxRx Mode allows the radio to be used as a transmitter
attached to a camera or as a receiver connected to a remote
ash or remote camera. It automatically switches between
transmit and receive. This is the default mode.
Tx ONLY Mode disables all receiving (Rx) functionality
and allows you to use your Plus III as a transmitter only.
Use this mode when sharing remote ashes with other
photographers. This mode will prevent the other
photographer from triggering the Plus III on your camera.
Rx ONLY Mode disables all transmit (Tx) functionality
allowing you to use your Plus III radios as receivers for
remote ashes or remote cameras. Use this mode when
you do not want a remote Plus III to perform relay functions
when mounted in the shoe of a remote camera, or to prevent
a remote Plus III from triggering other radios when its TEST
button is pressed.
LR (Long Range) Mode doubles the maximum range of
a radio in a given shooting environment. Long Range Mode
must be enabled on both transmitting and receiving

Triggering Modes
radios. Use this mode when triggering remote cameras at
greater distances. It can also be used with remote ash,
but there may be a reduction in maximum X-sync speed.
RP (Repeater) Mode automatically retransmits any
triggers received on the selected channel. Use this mode
to increase the maximum triggering distance for a remote
camera or ash by placing a Plus III half-way between a pair
of transmitting and receiving radios. This mode is
recommended for use when triggering remote cameras,
though it can be used with ash with a reduction in
maximum x-sync speed (this is not the same operation as
Auto-Relay Mode). Note: You may use multiple radios in
repeater mode for extremely long distances. Make sure
that each repealing radio can only receive the signal from
one other radio, otherwise an endless trigger loop may occur!
HSR (High Speed Receive) Mode shortens the contact
time of the FLASH/CAMERA port, allowing for triggering
of remote ashes at higher FPS (frames per second).
