Recycle Lockout
Some flash un its can be damaged if they are triggered too quickly or before they are fully recharged. This may cause the flash to overheat. Use Multipop Mode to protect the flash by setting a safe recycle lockout time. Follow the steps below:

2. | Enter the desired recycle lockout time and press ~/MENU |
3. | Enter a count of 1 and press ~/MENU |
4. | A ttac h r em ote f las h to P O R T 2 |
