WIRELESS REMOTE

SHUTTER RELEASE

USER’S MANUAL

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING VELLO

The FreeWave Micro Wireless Remote Shutter Release for Nikon is a low-proﬁle shutter trigger that helps

you take better pictures away from your camera and avoid camera shake. Setup is a snap by connecting to your

Nikon camera’s 10-pin remote terminal—there are no cables and no hogging your hot shoe. Select from 16

dierent wireless channels, and ﬁre the shutter from up to 328 feet away. Using the FreeWave Micro, you can

activate autofocus, trigger the shutter, open and close bulb exposures, and start and stop continuous shooting—

all without touching your camera.

connect the FreeWave Micro

Wireless Receiver.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Turn your camera’s power

o, and insert the receiver’s

connector into the camera’s

10-pin remote terminal. Make

sure the receiver’s antenna is

pointed up.

2. Turn the locking wheel

clockwise until the receiver

is securely connected to the

camera.

3. Press the receiver’s power

switch once. You should see

the power LED quickly ﬂash

To turn the receiver o, press

and hold the power switch

until the power LED quickly

switch to resume operation.

Installing the Transmitter’s

Battery

1. Slide the transmitter’s battery

compartment cover in the

direction of the arrow. You

might need to press down on

the cover when sliding.

2. Install the included AAA

battery according to the image

in the battery chamber. Make

sure the polarity is correct.

3. Slide the cover closed until it

clicks to lock.

Pairing the Transmitter to

the Receiver

There are 16 radio frequencies

(channels), available on the

transmitter and receiver.

Conﬁgure the four DIP switches

on both devices in the same

positions for correct channel

selection.

For example:

This allows you to use the

FreeWave Micro without

interference from other radio-

frequency devices nearby. Be sure

to maintain a minimum distance

of 20 inches (50 cm) between the

transmitter and receiver during

operation to prevent anti-RF

interference.

Setting the Channel on the

Transmitter and Receiver

1. Slide open the transmitter’s

battery compartment cover.

2. Using the channel selection

pin connected to the lanyard,

position each of the four DIP

switches up or down, into a

channel conﬁguration.

3. On the receiver, position

the DIP switches into the

same conﬁguration as on the

transmitter.

4. With the receiver on, press the

transmitter’s shutter release.

You should see the receiver’s

focus and shutter LEDs light

up, as well as the transmitter’s

LED indicator. If the two are

paired correctly, slide the

transmitter’s cover closed until

it locks. If not, repeat steps 2

and 3 until you reach a working

channel conﬁguration.

USING THE FREEWAVE MICRO

You can use the FreeWave Micro

to activate autofocus, trigger the

shutter, and open and close the

mode, and change the shutter

speed to bulb.

2. Press and hold the

transmitter’s shutter release

for three seconds to set the
