3. Stand behind a timing unit
4. Turn on the timing unit – the unit will beep until it is correctly aligned with the reflector
5. Hold the top of the unit with one hand
6. Hold the tripod neck with the other hand
7. Direct the light beam towards the reflector
8. Adjust the light beam until the red alignment light is on and the unit stops beeping
9. Repeat the above steps for each timing gate required.
