Troubleshooting
Flash does not fire when triggered
Check that the receiver and transmitter are on the same digital channel and that the flash is securely locked into the receiver's hot shoe.
Intermittent signal loss

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your Viper Receiver is set to the same digital channel as your Viper Transmitter. Mount the receiver to the foot of your flash unit and lock it securely. For studio lights, use the 2.5mm sync cable provided to bridge the receiver and the strobe. Regarding maintenance, always store the unit in a dry bag when not in use. If you encounter connectivity issues, plug the receiver into a computer via the microUSB port to check for and install the latest firmware updates. Always use fresh, high-quality batteries in both the receiver and your flash units to prevent misfires.
