Problem

Solution

The Cyclone DR is charged and connected to a flash 
with a cable, but no indicator lights illuminate when 
you turn it on.

The cable is damaged or you are using the wrong 
cable.

The Status indicator light is flashing.

The pack is overheated. Turn it off and wait for at 
least 10 minutes before using it again.

The Cyclone DR is charged and connected to a flash 
with a cable, but the flash does not fire. 

Make sure you have AA or other internal batteries 
installed in the flash. These may be required for its 
computer functions to work.
