About Auto Power Off
To save battery power, the power will be off automatically after a certain
period of idle use.
● The flash will enter sleep mode after approx. 90 seconds of idle use
when being attached to the camera.
● Setting as off camera mode, namely, the S1/S2 slave triggering mode,
the flash will enter sleep mode after approx. 60 minutes (adjustable, 30
minutes by default).

To avoid overheating and degrading the flash head, do not
fire more than 20 continuous flashes. After 20 continuous
flashes, allow a rest time of at least 10 min.
If you fire more than 20 continuous flashes and then fire
more flashes in short intervals, the inner overheating
prevention function may be activated to make the recycling
time about 8 to 20 sec. If this occurs, allow a rest time of
about 15 min, and the flash will then return to normal.

Getting Started and Basic Operation
03
04
If < > blinks on the LCD panel, the
battery power is low and the camera
flash stops charging. In this case, the
<ZOOM> button is disabled. Please
change the batteries immediately.
● Using size-AA batteries other than the alkaline type may cause
improper battery contact due to the irregular shape of the battery
contacts.
● If you change the batteries after firing many flashes continuously,
be aware that the batteries might be hot.
When the Power Switch is set to ON and the flash power is off
automatically after a certain period of idle use, power
consumption exists and long-time power discharge damages
batteries. Therefore, make sure to shut down the flash power by
setting the Power Switch to OFF if the flash is not used for long.
