The T1 system supports one master transmitter controlling up to twenty slave receivers. To set up multiple flashes:

1. Designate one T1 unit as the transmitter (TX) on your camera.
2. Connect additional T1 units to your slave flashes and set them all to receiver (RX) mode.
3. All RX units will respond to the signal from the TX unit, allowing for complex multi-angle lighting configurations.

5.3 Flash Riser Function

When a T1 unit is mounted on your camera's hot shoe, it acts as a flash riser. This elevates the flash unit, which can help prevent vignetting or shadows cast by large lenses or lens hoods, especially when using compact flash units like the ZENIKO ZF04 or ZF08.
