MC DC2 - Please help

I'm leaving on Wednesday. I have a remote shutter release, but bought a corded one for this trip for fireworks and any other situation where it may be useful, but I can't get it to get it to work

This is what is happening:

Camera set to remote mode
Remote cable plugged in
Remote does activate autofocus and locks in on the subject
Shutter does not release

It must be in working order so I can only think it's the settings but I can't think where to look. The cordless one works fine by the way.

Please disregard the above.

I have discovered that I don't need to set anything on the camera This is what you get for having two different accessories and assuming they will work the same way. It's plug and play
