Getting Ready

Inserting the Battery The WT-7 takes one EN-EL15 rechargeable Li-ion battery. Insert the battery as described below.

1 Open the battery-chamber cover. Unlatch the cover by sliding it as shown (q).

Open the cover (w).

2 Insert the battery. Using the battery to keep the battery latch pressed to one side, slide the battery in until the latch clicks back into place. For safety precautions and information on charging the battery, see the battery and charger manuals.

3 Close the battery-chamber cover. Reverse the instructions in Step 1 to close and latch the cover as shown. Be sure the cover is securely latched.

4 Introduction

G etting Ready

Attaching the WT-7 After checking that the camera is off, align the WT-7 mounting screw with the camera tripod socket and tighten by rotating the attachment wheel in the direction shown by the LOCK arrow.

Connecting the USB Cable Connect the WT-7 to the camera using the USB cable supplied with the WT-7 (D810 or D810A) or with the camera (D750 or D7200).

5Introduction

G etting Ready

The Wireless Transmitter Utility The Wireless Transmitter Utility is used for pairing in image transfer and camera control modes (015) and can also help create network profiles (088). You can install the utility after downloading it from the following website: http://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/

Be sure to use the latest versions of the Wireless Transmitter Utility and the camera firmware.

A Removing the Battery Being careful not to drop the battery, open the WT-7 battery-chamber cover and remove the battery as shown at right.

A Stand-By Mode When the WT-7 is disconnected from the camera or the camera is turned off, the WT-7 will turn off automatically after the delay chosen for Network > Options > Auto power off delay in the camera setup menu (084), reducing the drain on the battery.

6 Introduction

G etting Ready

A Battery Level The level of the battery inserted in the WT-7 can be determined by connecting the WT-7 to the camera (04) and checking the battery level using the Options > Battery info in the Network menu (083).

A Using an AC Adapter To prevent loss of power when adjusting settings or transmitting images, use a fully-charged battery or an optional EP-5B power connector and EH-5b AC adapter. An optional EH-5/EH-5a AC adapter can also be used. Insert the power connector as shown below.

1 Unlatch the battery-chamber cover (q).

2 Open the battery-chamber (w) and power connector covers (e).

3 Using the power connector to keep the battery latch pressed to one side, slide the connector in until the latch clicks back into place (r).

4 Position the power connector so that the cord passes through the power connector slot and close the battery-chamber cover (t). Be sure that the cover is securely latched.
