Turning on the Flash and Firing a Test
To turn on the audio monitor, press the LOCK/AUDIO (
) button repeatedly until the audio icon (
) blinks on
the LCD, then press the MODE button to confirm. Repeat this step to disable the audio monitor. Note that the
low battery warning will sound even if the audio monitor is off.
Lock mode:
To prevent inadvertent operation of your flash, you can lock it by setting it to lock mode. To lock
the device, press the LOCK/AUDIO (
) button so the lock icon ( ) blinks on the LCD, and press the MODE
button to confirm. This will lock all of the buttons except for the power switch. To unlock the device, press and
hold the LOCK/AUDIO (
) button until the lock icon ( ) disappears.
Important!
Make sure that slave mode is turned off when mounting the VX-710C on your camera. Turn it on only when
using the flash as an off-camera wireless slave.
Overheating protection mode:
If the operating temperature of the VX-710C is too high, or after 25 continuous
flashes at 1/1 (full power), the flash will enter overheating protection mode. The thermal warning icon ( ) will
appear on the LCD, the unit will emit a long beep for over ten seconds, and you will be unable to fire a flash.
We suggest you turn the unit off for ten minutes to let it cool down.
