Could someone clue me in as to what's going on?

I already own a tt1 & 2 tt5's. I just added a 3rd tt5 and for some reason even after making sure the firmware is the same, and the channel are all correct the new tt5 will not fire.

Is there another step i'm missing?

At a guess - probably set the 3rd Unit into 'Learn' mode so that it is synched with the 'other' 2 TT5 units..... :confused:

I had beta 5.0 firmware. My 4th one I bought I updated to 5.0 official release. The new one did NOT work till I updated my other 3 to the official 5.0 firmware release.

Hard to say, but what i did that made it work was take one of my old tt5's, hit the "Set" button, then replicate the settings across the next 2 tt5's.

Worked perfectly after that.

Aha, thanks for posting the solution

I have 2 x TT5's (CE version) and will buy the 3rd now that I am back here in the UK.
