    • Праверце, ці правільна ўсталяваныя батарэйкі і ці дастаткова яны зараджаныя.
    • Ensure both transceivers are powered ON and set to 'TRX' mode.
    • Verify that both transceivers are set to the same channel using the internal dip switches.
    • Ensure the hot shoe connections are clean and secure.
  • Shutter release not working:
    • Confirm the N3 cable is correctly connected to both the RF-603 and the camera.
    • Ensure the RF-603 connected to the camera is set to 'TRX' (for wireless) or 'ON' (for wired).
    • Check camera settings for remote control functionality.
  • Black bar in photos (sync speed issue):
    • The RF-603 N3 has a maximum sync speed, typically around 1/200s or 1/250s depending on the camera model.
    • If you observe a black bar, reduce your camera's shutter speed to match or fall below its native flash sync speed.
  • Difficulty accessing ON/OFF switch:
    • Due to the switch's placement, it may be difficult to operate when a flash is mounted. It is recommended to set the switch before mounting the flash.
