Your new fully charged power pack will provide between 100 to 200 full charge flashes depending on the model you have. This is an approximation for full power flashes and dialing down power can increase the number of charges you will have for your light. Carry a backup battery when you are in the field for extended periods of time, or do not have access to power.
Note: When you are using the light in battery mode, the modeling circuit is disabled to prevent incidental draining of battery power. Using the lights in AC mode, the modeling circuits are fully functional.
Connecting to your Light.
1.Make sure both the battery and the light are switched to the OFF position.
2.Connect the
3.Move the flash/charge switch on the battery to FLASH.
4.Move the power switch on the light from OFF to Flash. (If your flash unit has a modeling light, be sure it is off, or the battery will not charge the flash.)
5.After the light switch is moved to flash, turn the battery power switch to ON. Your battery is now charging the light unit. The ready light on the back of the light will indicate when it has been charged to the selected power level. The ready light on the battery will begin to blink as an indication that the light has been charged. This LED will continue to blink until the light is discharged. It is recommended that you turn the battery to off to conserve energy if the light is not in use.
Maintaining your battery.
It is a good practice to periodically recharge your battery to maintain the pack in the best condition. We recommend every two weeks even if you do not plan to use the pack within this interval.
Give your battery pack a rest after 15 to 30 minutes of use. The pack will generate heat during the recharge cycles and this rest will allow the pack to cool and lengthen its useful life.
