The sync jack H (Fig. 1) on the flash may be used for direct connection to a camera set 

to “X” synchronization. A radio slave receiver may also be plugged into the socket.

5-3 Photocell

The photocell C (Fig. 1) is located behind the red transparent cover on the top and 

at the back of the unit. It enables the unit to be triggered from another flash unit, 

IR remote trigger or small on-camera flash. Switch the photocell ON of OFF 

using the switch D (Fig. 1) on the control panel. The photocell is ON when the

Grenn LED Number 1 is lit. To disable press switch D (Fig. 1) again until 

LED is off.
