I works OK with the flash set at TTL AUTO - AUTO - OR M.
Neither unit is on a camera.
When supplied these are set to Ch 0 which is all dipswitches OFF. They work OK like that. You only need to change channels if your using 2 sets or someone else is using Chan 0..
The Rx should stick out towards the lens on the camera, but most flashguns won't go on facing the other way.
The only other thing you could try is if the Tx will trigger the camera, but you need the lead with a small jackplug off the Rx which just hangs off it (i.e.not on the hotshoe).
I've got 2 sets one to fire the camera and the other to fire the flashes, but I mostly use a Wein IR system and a normal Pentax IR release which syncs OK at 1/180th.
EDIT: There seems to be quite a bit of info in this thread about mods to get 1/180th and pins not lining up. There's also quite a bit on Talk Photography.
The Rx also takes a lead that will attach to a studio flash.

The receiver should light up red when switched on and the transmitter shows red/green when pressed.

But once the battery shows a small voltage the better chargers will do a better job and go through a charge/discharge cycle.
I have read somewhere that it's possible to trick a better charger into thinking that a 0v battery has a voltage. I think it just involves starting the charge with a good battery and quickly swapping it for the 0v battery.
I charge/discharge all my batteries every few months with a La Crosse type charger shown here.......

Mine's actually a Technoline BL-700 available for about £32 on
Amazon.
It's important to know the actual capacity of old batteries some
might be down to below 1000 mAh.

flash triggers. Just use 1/100th or 1/125th sec. to catch
the full frame.

They said it would cost £100 callout if an engineer didn't
find a fault with their equipment....... so I asked them
how much it cost to cancel the BT Line and they said nothing
so I said..... Do that then... and I'll go with Virgin for free!
