FOR YOUR SAFETY
To prevent damage to the product or injury to you or to others, read the
following safety precautions in their entirety before using this device. Keep
these safety instructions where users can read them for ready reference.
Do not disassemble or modify
There are high-voltage components inside the unit. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in electric shock or product malfunction. Should the
product break open as the result of a fall or other accident, send the defective
back to the authorized service center for inspection and maintenance.
Keep dry
Do not handle with wet hands, immerse in water, or expose to rain. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in fire or electric shock.
Keep out of reach of children
This device contains small parts that may pose a choking hazard. Consult a
physician immediately if a child swallows any part of this device.
Do not expose to high temperature
Do not leave the device in a closed vehicle in the sun or in other areas subject to
extremely high temperature. Failure to observe this precaution could result in fire
or damage to the housing or internal parts.
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 too
frequently (not over six times for one minute). Overheating will result in damages
for strobe housing and/or studio light.
Do not touch the lamp cap when the flash or modeling lamp is working, as it will
give out heat, leading to high surface temperature.
Do not touch the two terminals of the tube outlet as there is high voltage inside.
Wear insolated gloves before replacing the tube or modeling lamp.
Avoid sudden impacts as this can damage the flash tube and/or modeling lamp.
Do not flash directly towards naked eyes (especially those of babies), otherwise
it may lead to visual impairment.
Disconnect from the power supply when it will not be used for an extended
period.

Separately Sold Accessories
The product can be used in combination with the following accessories sold
separately, so as to achieve best photography effects:
Godox FT series remote control, Power Inverter, Softbox, Photographic Umbrella,
Light Stand, Barndoor, Snoot, etc
OPERATIONS
Flash Preparation
Power Connection
1. Take down the lamp
cover. Install the modeling
lamp and put on the glass
protection cover and the
standard reflector.
(To uninstall the standard
reflector, press the release
button on the flash head
and turn the standard
reflector counter-clockwise
to take it out, as illustrated
in the picture.)
2. Attach the flash unit onto
an appropriate light stand. Adjust the mounting bracket (18) for a good angle and
make sure it is tightened and fixed. Use the direction adjusting handle (20) to
adjust the flash to a desired direction. Umbrella input (19) is for different photo
umbrellas to put in.
Use the power cord to connect the flash to an AC power source and turn on the
power switch (3). The lamp on the power switch turns on, indicating it’s connected.
Modeling Lamp Button (6) controls the modeling lamp status: when modeling
lamp indicator lights up, modeling lamp is on; if not, modeling lamp is off.
Modeling lamp output controller (4) is used for adjusting the power output level of
modeling lamp. Modeling lamp will be off automatically after lighting for 2 hours,
avoiding overheat due to long-time lighting when the user is not nearby.
Modeling Lamp
When there is flammable accessory on the flash unit, do not keep the
modeling lamp on for a long time. It is recommended to cool it down
for one minute after 10 minutes' working.
Power Output Control
Flash output controller (5) decides different power output, satisfying light
requirements in different environment. The power is adjustable freely from 5.0 to
8.0 which will be accordingly shown on the digital display (10). "OF" on the
display indicates that the flash triggering function is turned off. It can
automatically discharge power when the flash output is adjusted from high to low.
Test Button
To fire the flash without taking a picture, press the test button (9). It can also help
adjust the flash brightness when combined with the flash output controller (5).
Sync Triggering
The sync cord jack (2) is a Φ6.35mm
plug. Insert a trigger plug here and
the flash will be fired synchronously
with the camera shutter.
Slave Trigger Model
Three slave triggering models are
available and can be set by pressing Slave Model Button (8).
◆No optical control: The slave triggering indicator (13) is off, indicating the slave
triggering function is shut down.
◆One fire model: The slave triggering indicator (13) glows blue, indicating the
flash will fire synchronously when receiving one external flash. In this model, the
flash can function as an auxiliary lamp, offering various effects of light and
shadow.
◆Anti-preflash model: The slave triggering indicator (13) glows red, indicating the
flash will receive two external flashes within 2 seconds and will fire synchronously
when receiving the second flash. In this model, the flash can function as an
auxiliary lamp, applicable to TTL system. With this anti-preflash function, the flash
can synchronize with cameras having a one-preflash firing system.
Buzz Function
The sound button (7) is used for deciding whether there is sound reminder for
ready flash after recharging. When the buzz indicator (12) is on, the buzz function
is working; when it is off, the buzz function is not working. A “BI” sound will be
heard when it’s fully charged.
- 12 -- 11 -

Memory Function
The device is equipped with memory function for the panel setting. It will help
remember the panel setting 3 seconds after you set it. When starting up the flash
next time, the panel setting will be the same as that before powering it off.
Wireless Control Function
◆The flash unit is built in with a Wireless Control Port (17) so that you can
wirelessly control the on-and-off of your flash, modeling lamp and buzzer, as well
as adjust the flash output level, etc.
◆To control the flash wirelessly, you need a Godox FT series remote control set
(on-camera and on-flash). Insert its receive end into the Wireless Control Port
(17) on the flash and insert the transmit end into the camera hot shoe. Settings
made on the hotshoe-mounted transmit and receive ends will be wirelessly
communicated to the flash. Then you can press the camera shutter-release
button to trigger the flash.
◆For full instructions on the use of FT series remote control, see its user manual.
Tube Replacement
Shut down the power and remove the power cord before replacing the flash tube.
Wear insulated gloves to 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 from the old tube and 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. Twine the iron wire on the stainless steel sheet to fix the flash tube.
