05 | BEFORE USE

05.1 CHARGE LI-ION BATTERY
Before first use, fully charge the Li-Ion battery (47) with the charger provided.
Connect the plug for Li-Ion battery (52) with the charging cable socket (49) of the
Li-Ion battery (47) and plug into mains. The LED status indicator (53) lights up in red
during charging.
After battery is fully charged, the LED status indicator (53) lights up green. Discon-
nect the charger from the power source. Place the Li-Ion battery (47) into the flash
– the Li-Ion battery snaps in automatically when it is placed correct position.
CAUTION
Never let the charger unattended during charging. After charging disconnect
the charger from electric outlet.
NOTE
When Li-Ion battery is not used for a longer period, charge it every 3 month to
prevent it from deep discharge.
We recommend a second Li-Ion battery (optional: DÖRR Lithium-Ion battery for
DMX-600 Item No. 371341).
05.2 MOUNTING THE STUDIO FLASH
DThe hand grip (5) allows the photographer or an assistant to easily hold the studio
flash. In order to adjust the tilt angle of the studio flash, loosen the locking lever (13).
Set desired angle and tighten the locking lever (13) again. The hand grip (5) provides
an incorporated tripod socket. Unscrew the tripod socket locking screw (9). The
studio flash may now be placed onto a studio light stand. For safe hold secure the
tripod socket locking screw (9) into the safety screw thread (5a).
05.3 USE OF LIGHT FORMERS
(OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES)
The DÖRR DXM-600 comes with a standard reflector and incorporated diffuser
plate (2) for soft light. Use light formers to play with light. Depending on the light
former, picture results may vary. Use light formers to create hard or soft light. The
DÖRR DMX-600 studio flash offers a Bowens bayonet to attach light formers.
You may use all light formers with Bowens bayonet. Within our DÖRR accessories
assortment we carry a wide choice of DÖRR light formers as well as an optional
Bowens adapter (Item No. 372960).
Remove the standard reflector (2) from studio flash. Slide the release knob (3) in
arrow direction and hold it like this – at the same time move the standard reflector
counter clockwise and remove it.
Place the light former onto the bayonet (10) matching the 3 connecting pins over
the 3 bayonet fittings and move the light former clockwise until you hear the con-
nectors snap into place.
CAUTION
Let the flash cool down before attaching or removing any light former.
05.4 USE OF REFLECTOR AND DIFFUSER UMBRELLAS

der (14) and tighten the umbrella holder locking screw (15).
