POWER SETTINGS
Power settings help you define standby and when to auto-off to save energy. You can also define
recycling time depending on the electrical environment.

POWER SETTINGS
The standby option lets you decide after how long the unit goes into standby mode, enabling you
to quickly turn the unit back on when needed.
The auto-off option does just what its name suggests. When left unattended the unit will switch
off automatically after the indicated time.
Recycling time can be important depending on where you are working. If you are working
outdoors with low efficient battery inverter (e.g. camping battery) choose slow to not draw too
much current. Otherwise just go for fast recycling.
STATISTICS
Check lifetime of the unit and the flashtube.

STATISTICS
You can easily check the current usage of the unit and the flashtube. Very useful for servicing or
second-hand retail.
Note: It is possible to reset flashtube counter. E.g. when flashtube has been replaced with a new
one!

TROUBLESHOOTING

SOFT RESET
To reset all settings to default values, push the left and right buttons at the same time and hold
for at least 1 second. The unit will reboot and will clear all working parameters.
This will not delete the "User Preset" data which is restored in the preset menu nor will it reset
the counter in the "Statistics" menu for "total lifetime", "total flash amount" and "power on".
FLASHTUBE REPLACEMENT
Flashtubes have a long life with general use however multi-flashing in long sequences can cause
overheating of the electrodes leading to premature ageing. If the flashtube is broken or cracked,
triggers only sporadically, or you notice an important colour temperature shift, it could be that
the flashtube needs replacing.
