Set the Shooting mode to one of the two remote modes. Quick-response remote shoots the picture as soon as you press the button, Delayed-response remote waits two seconds to allow you to hide the remote behind your back.
Shooting Mode is on page 32 of my copy of the manual.
The D40 does not have a wireless trigger like some of the other Nikons. However, most studio flash units have a mode which will trigger off of the camera flash just by sensing the light from the flash unit. You could also put the remote cable that comes with the studio light on the hot shoe of the D40. I found the KF-150 studio light for sale, but I can't find any manual or technical specs on it. You need to make sure the unit doesn't have a trigger voltage that's too high for the D40, but if it's for sale now it likely is okay. Just look at the manual for the light and the D40 can compare the external flash trigger specs.
Since the D40 and D40x are nearly identical, go to menus, the pencil icon, shooting mode, select the bottom one. Oh , and check the battery in the remote, mine was dead.:-)
