which can provide original accessories.

• 

This product, except consumables e.g. flash tube, is supported with a three-year warranty.

• 

Unauthorized service will void the warranty.

• 

If the product had failures or was wetted, do not use it until it is repaired by professionals.

• 

Changes made to the specifications or designs may not be reflected in this manual.

Refer to this troubleshooting guide to self-service these rare circumstances when 

something happens that you did not expect.

Problem: 

The flash exposure is underexposed or overexposed.

Solution 1:

 You used HSS high-speed sync.

When using high-speed sync, the effective flash range is shorter due to the changes 

in power. Make sure the subject is within the effective flash range displayed.

Solution 2:

 You used 

Manual Flash

 mode without a flash meter.

Set the flash output after taking an exposure reading.

Firmware Upgrade

Maintenance

The XPLOR supports firmware upgrade through the USB Port located just to the 

left of the Sync Port. It is important to keep the firmware up to date to assure 

proper operation and to add new features that may be introduced as we continue 

to innovate. Update information is released and made available for download on 

our official online Flashpoint website. Carefully follow the instructions that 

accompany the update.
