Caution
After 30 continuous flashes at full power, the flash should be cooled down for
about 3 minutes. Overheating will occur if it is used continuously without cooling
down.
Do not keep using the modeling lamp for a long time; otherwise flammable
accessories attaching to flash head, e.g. softbox will get burnt. A 10-minute time
is recommended in this case. After 10 minutes, cool it down for 1 minute.
When using a snoot, do not keep the modeling lamp on for a long time or fire

Instructions for Use
● Power Connection
Use the power cord to connect the flash to an AC power source and turn
on the power switch (3). The charging indicator lamp (7) is off when it is
charging, no flash at this moment. The unit is ready to fire until the
charging indicator lamp (7) is on, meaning it is fully charged. Set the
power switch on O position when it is not in use.
● Modeling lamp
Modeling lamp switch (8) decides whether the modeling lamp is on or
off: Downwards (O position), it’s off; upwards (I position), it’s on.
(NOTE: Do not keep long time in using the modeling lamp. It’s better
to be cooled down for 1 minute after 5 minutes continuous use.)
● Flash Output Control
Flash output controller (5) controls the power radio, adjustable
stepless power from 1/8 to full. It can satisfy the light requirements in
different environment. (Note: When adjusting the power from full
power to a lower setting, press the test button to release the power in
the capacitor, so when recharged, the flash output will be in the
corresponding setting.)
● Test Button
To fire the flash without taking a picture, push the test button. It can
also adjust the brightness when combined with the flash output
controller (5).
● Sync Triggering
A sync cord (9) is provided with your flash unit, and the input is a Φ
3.5mm mini plug. Insert a trigger plug here and the flash will be fired
synchronously.
● Flash Preparation
Mount the flash unit on an appropriate light
stand and adjust the mounting bracket (10).
Make sure it’s tightened and fixed. The
umbrella input (11) is applicable for any
studio umbrella.

Technical Data
● Slave Trigger Model
The flash will be fired synchronously with one external flash. This
model can act as an auxiliary lamp, offering various effects of light and
shadow.
● Tube Replacement
Turn down the power before replacing the flash tube and wear insulated
gloves. Then, loosen the iron wire on the tube, keep a balanced hold on
the two feet of the flash tube and pull out the old tube gently. Take down
the feet casing to put it on the new one. Hold two feet of the new tube,
and target directly towards the two copper outlets, then push them slightly
in. Tighten the iron wire to fix the flash tube.
