Connecting to Your Flash 

|

 9

Important!
•  The connectors should easily attach. Forcing a connector can damage both your flash and the Compact 

Battery Pack connector.

•  Batteries must be installed in the flash before you connect it to the Universal Compact Battery Pack. Most 

flash units require batteries to be installed in order to operate. 

•  You may need to configure the custom function on your flash unit to make it draw power from the battery 

pack.  Refer to your flash unit’s instructions for more information. 

•  Disconnect the Compact Battery Pack from your flash unit before storing it. 

LED Status Indicator 
Canon and Sony flashes: The indicator displays a solid light in both standby and recycle modes. 
Nikon flashes: The indicator displays a solid light in recycle mode and turns off in standby mode.
