N.B. Situation 2, as above is the only time when the open flash will function while the indicator blinks. At other times, the generator is not ready (still charging or fed with incorrect requests) and will therefore not function.

NOTE :

The "Digital" unit have an integrated discharge system, protected by a thermic switch.

In order to restrict the heating of the unit, we suggest to release a flash with the green button (8) "READY" after each strong reduction of power (more than 2f-stop).

This allows to release the excess of energy in the flash tube. You will gain time and extend the life span of your power packs.

7. AUDIBLE RECHARGE SIGNAL

When the indicator of the touch (12) is illuminated and will sound whenever a command has been accepted by the generator (useful when using the IR handset).
