Check your camera manual for remote release. D7000 has setting on shutter release dial to set and also menu options for delay. D7100 it's all in the menu under remote control photography. There are no "lights".

If you are using the batteries that came with the remote, yes, you do need to change the batteries. The same happened to me.

If you are using a Nikon, on the shooting mode selection dial there is a symbol that looks like the remote device. Set the dial there and then press the camera shutter release to activate the camera senor. It should be good to go. If the camera is idle for more than ten minutes, the camera will shut down and you will need to press the shutter release again to activate. One other thing. The remote ships with a strip of clear plastic between the battery and the contacts, that needs to be pulled out to activate the remote. Hope one of these fixes your problem.

Make sure that when you set it up for use that you go into the camera settings and enable the remote for "quick response." I've noticed that when I go to long without using the remote it enters a stand by mode and I have to re-enable it again. If that doesn't work then you might need to change the battery. Happy shooting!

Unfortunately the signal is infrared light, which you will not be able to see even when the product is working properly. If you have eliminated other possibilities in setting up, do try another battery; but don't worry if you can't see anything. (For me, setting up my Nikon D3300, the key was shutter release mode.)

Does the remote need to be pointed directly toward the camera, or I could I discretely signal the shutter release with my hands behind my back for example? Hoping to avoid running back and forth for large group photos.

You could try getting a new battery and make sure you have the right setting on your camera.

Changing battery is always a good idea but make sure tour camera is on the self timing mode, whether it b 5 second delay or 10 second delay. It took me a while to figure it out but it did work. Self timer mode is the key.

It lites up once u press the button like a flash light, if it doesn't do that then you might want to check the battery/ it's broken :)

Yes, it works very well. If your remote doesn't work, try another remote or change the battery. Be certain to check the battery for corroded ends, and that the red LED lamp lights when you push any of the buttons. If the red LED lamp lights, try reprograming the remote to opener. If the LED lamp does not light, the battery is not powering the remote correctly.

Aimee, My remote never lit up, except for the small green light under the channel (A/B) switch. That's the battery indicator and I know you've switched the batteries in the remote. It's very possible there's a loose wire/damaged circuit. One of two things you can do. If you're adventurous (and lucky), open up the panels on the remote and look inside to see if there are any loose wires, connections, etc. If you're smart, get in touch with customer service at Amazon. It's possible you received a dud and it just needs replacing. I know it's a hassle but this "toy" is really a lot of fun. Let me know how it goes!

I suggest that someone should remove the remote back and check the battery that came with the unit. It has a # on it and maybe the voltage... Any store that sells the battery will be able to assist you further.

Two thoughts first press the red button on the top of the black little box where the power cord attaches to the LED Board. It should come on immediately; unless something is seriously wrong with the board. Then check your remote control open up the battery compartment there may be a piece of the plastic tab still in there or the battery may have come loose during shipping. If you open the battery compartment and there's no plastic in there and the battery is in the proper place you may simply need a new battery. Mine has been up and running since day 1. If none of these seem to be the problem I would return it for a replacement. Good Luck.

I bought a refurbished unit and the remote worked fine. I think I would return it if it's not functional.

The remote is bad. Sounds like its making constant contact somewhere. I would take it apart and blow all dust out from the inside then put it back together. If that doesnt help get a new remote.

there is not a light on the remote. check battery in remote plastic or paper on the battery. and the remote is very directional. point right at the sensor. mine works just fine. might check all connections. and that you have 12v hooked up correctly.

First, I would check the battery and ensure that there is power going into the receiver. Also check that the tiny pins are faced in the right direction. If you recently purchased this item, ask for a new remote/exchange/refund. If you can't get one, then order a new remote or receiver...I am pretty sure they are inexpensive. Hope this helps.

Unscrew the small end. you will have to test it to see which way the batteries have to be turned but if you try both ways and you still have no light the bulb may be bad. Mine worked fine.

Same problem here. Remote worked great for about a year and a half, now a bunch of my buttons don't work - or when they do they repeat. I finally had to throw it away and am now researching for a replacement.

I found the buttons on the remote somewhat difficult to press and get a response. Also, you must get close and be absolutely direct, straight on, in pointing it. If it still doesn't work, contact the company. They have very good support and if they can't help you, will most certainly replace it.

Im sorry... No suggestions... That sadly is exactly what happened with me. I just threw it away after about a week of it not turning on showing any motion with the lights. Maybe flip the black switch on the bottom and it may work.

Go to a battery store and have the battery tested. I know Batteries Plus sells a replacement battery and they are not cheap. If it is not the battery, it most likely is the remote. I bought a new one after having problems with the channels jumping randomly and am so much happier with the newer remote. My other one was about 4 years old.
