 AND 12 WITH YOUR FINGERS. To reduce battery consump-

tion your Cobra 700AF will switch over to standby mode after five

minutes. Simply press the

 shutter button or the test flash

button (6) to restore power. For longer periods of time switch the

flashgun off using the ON/OFF switch (8).

Warning : There are no user-serviceable parts in this flashgun. Ex-

tremely high voltages are generated inside the unit, so never attempt
to dismantle or tamper with it. Any attempts to open the flashgun will

invalidate the guarantee.

HOW TO USE COBRA 700AF

 LOAD THE BATTERIES

Slide the battery cover (4) towards the
front of the flash and insert the batter-
ies according to the diagram inside the
compartment. Close the cover by slid-
ing it firmly back into place.

Ensure that the batteries are fitted prop-

erly, and remove them when storing
the gun for a long period of time. The
majority of flash faults are caused by
leaking or incorrectly fitted batteries.
This flashgun takes four 1.5V AA size
Alkaline batteries or Ni-Cad equivalent.
We strongly advise against the use of
zinc-carbon batteries due to their short
life and tendency to leak.

Make sure the batteries are fitted
correctly

2. MOUNT THE FLASH ON THE

 HOT-SHOE

First switch off the gun. Then ensure

that the

 shoe module

 is locked

in place, as marked on the flashgun.
Next rotate the locking wheel (10) up-

wards and slide the flash shoe into the

 hot-shoe until

 fully home.

There should be no need to force it
into place. Rotate the locking wheel
(10) downwards to hold the flash on

the camera.

Note:With Dynax version slide catch

towards "LOCK"

Secure the flashgun on the

 with the locking wheel
