Is my 540 working properly?

I have a 540 FGZ Pentax flash unit. When ever I turn the switch on the 540 to wireless with the flash set to slave, I cannot set the mode to P-TTL. The only mode available is A and M. The flash is set to Digital. What am I missing? Thanks

If you are in SL2 (slave mode 2) this is an optical slave mode only and P-TTL is not available. To use P-TTL in wireless you need to have the flash in SL1. See page 52 in the manual see how to change modes.
