Set the camera to one of the remote modes.

Sorry, but the D3100 doesn't work with the ML-L3 infrared remote. It uses the MC-DC2 wired remote or equivalent.With the MC-DC2, you don't need to set a remote mode. Simply plug the MC-DC2 into the D3100. You can then use the button on the remote the same way you normally use the shutter release button on the camera.

Turn the unit over. You'll see two arrows marked "1" and "2". Put a fingernail into the gap between the two ridges of "1" and move in the direction indicated by the arrow. While keeping it there, put another fingernail into the slot of "2" and pull in the direction of the arrow.The procedure almost requires three hands. but it can be done with two if you put the remote down on a tabletop.

How do you know it's not coming on? The LED (not a laser) puts out infrared, normally not visible to the human eye. If you have a point&shoot digital camera or a dSLR with LiveView, try taking a photo of it and see whether it lights up when you press the button. It'll probably show up white. You might try a TV remote for comparison.Also, try cleaning both the LED window on the remote and the remote sensor on the camera. And make sure you're pointing the remote at the sensor.

Set the camera's release mode to one of the two remote modes. The quick-response remote mode fires the shutter when you press the button on the remote.

The ML-L3 does not work with the D200.If you have a specific question about the D200's shutter release modes, please state it in a comment to this post.

Nikon really doesn't have a user's guide for the ML-L3. It comes with a slip of paper telling you how to change the battery, and that's about it. The thing only has one button on it, after all.The precise steps for using the remote vary from camera to camera. If your camera works with the ML-L3, there will be something in the camera's manual telling you how. It's usually called "Release Mode" or "Shooting Mode." Basically, you set the camera to a remote mode, then use the button on the remote instead of the shutter release button on the camera.

Having gone over a month without a response to my query, I assume it was simply a matter of setting the camera to a remote mode.
