12.3 Automatic shut-off (Fig. 15)

To protect the batteries from unintentional discharge, the mecablitz can be set to automatically switch off 1 minute or 10 minutes after the flash was activated for the last time (flash shot, setting procedure or tripping the came- ra’s shutter release).

The last used mode is retained after automatic shut-off so that it becomes instantly available when the flash unit is switched on again.

If the mecablitz is equipped with the SCA 3xx2 adapter, it can be switched on again merely by touching the came- ra’s shutter release.

If the mecablitz is equipped with an SCA 3xx adapter or the SCA 301 standard foot, it can be switched on again merely by actuating the setting disk.

Setting automatic shut-off

Press the Select button of the mecablitz repeatedly until the clock icon flashes.

Turn the setting disk to select the „Auto shut-off time“ 1m (1 minute) or 10m (10 minutes). ON is additionally displayed. Briefly press the setting disk in the direction of the arrow for storage. The selected setting will be automatically stored after 5 seconds if the setting disk is not pressed. The clock icon will then appear on the LC-display of the mecablitz.

Switch off the mecablitz by its mains switch if it is not going to be used for an extended period of time!

Deactivating automatic shut-off:

Repeatedly depress the Select key until the clock symbol flashes. Turn the setting disk until OFF is dis- played. Press the setting disk briefly in the direction of the arrow to store this setting. The selected setting is automatically stored if the setting disk is not pressed within 5 seconds. The clock symbol on the LC display of the mecablitz is deleted.
