Protection Function

1. Over-Temperature Protection

•  To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not fire 

more than 30 continuous flashes in fast succession at 1/1 full 

power. After 30 continuous flashes, allow a rest time of at least 

10 minutes.

flashes in short intervals, the inner over-temperature protection 

function may be activated and make the recycling time over 10 

seconds. If this occurs, allow a rest time of about 10 minutes, 

and the flash unit will then return to normal.

•  When the over-temperature protection is started,   is shown on 

the LCD panel.
