|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Pocket Wizard Misfires Marvin Gentry, Photographer Birmingham | AL | USA | Posted: 2:17 PM on 06.16.09 ->> I have got an issue with 2 different type of pocket wizards. The multimax and a transceiver. I am using them in a studio location so I am only about 5- 10 feet away from them. But when I let them sit on for a while whether with battery power or ac power they seem to just shut down. Anyone else have this kind of problem before. I have tried changing cords and lights but still the same results.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Just turn themselves off after a period of non use and then when you flip the switch again they work fine for a while again ? Sounds like there might be some sort of auto off feature that I think could be disabled on the MM. Still strange though as you would think if its running off a/c power it would always remain on.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

PW's? Lights? I've had pocket-wizards stay on for days (on accident, of course) and they only shut down when the battery dies. Most of my PW issues seem to go away by putting in fresh batteries.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I have had these recently to stay on for days when I forgot to turn them off. All of a sudden they just stop working after you dont use them for a while. Then you turn off and turn back on and they will work fine until you stop using them for a period of time.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I've had similar issues when the batteries were nearly dead.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
