From Nikon:

WR-1 Firmware v.1.01

Changes from Firmware Version 1.00 to 1.01:

• The D5 and D500 ISO sensitivity displays are now supported. If you are using two WR-1 units, one as a receiver and the other as a transmitter, update both to firmware version 1.01. If you are using the WR-1 with a WR-R10, have a Nikon-authorized service representative update the WR-R10 to firmware version 3.00.
• When used as a transmitter to change ISO sensitivity for a receiving camera, the WR-1 no longer cycles continuously through the available values.

Firmware Ver. 3.00 upgrade details

Shooting using radio-controlled advanced wireless lighting (hereafter "radio AWL") requires a digital SLR camera and Speedlight that support radio AWL, as well as a WR-R10. However, WR-R10s running a version of firmware prior to Ver. 3.00 do not support radio AWL. The modifications indicated below, including support for radio AWL, will be enabled with this firmware upgrade.

Modifications enabled with firmware Ver. 3.00

• Support for radio AWL has been added.
• Support for the D5 and D500 function that enables Link Mode (Pairing or PIN) for radio AWL has been added.
• Support for the D5 and D500 function that enables or disables the status LEDs on the WR-R10 has been added.
• The maximum number of devices with which the WR-R10 can be paired has been changed from 64 devices to 32.

Requesting firmware upgrade
Those who would like to have their WR-R10 firmware upgraded to enable support for radio AWL may take or send their WR-R10 to a Nikon authorized Service Center where the firmware will be upgraded free of charge.
