9. When using an umbrella with your Fusion first mount a standard reflector model ALRD114 then
mount an umbrella through the hole in the reflector and the two holes in the umbrella mount.
Note: After use, cool the flash and umbrella down first before pulling out the umbrella.
10. To use a softbox, after assembling the softbox with an Aurora flash adaptor, place it onto the flash.
Fit the claws of the adaptor into the holes in the flash front, and then rotate the softbox clockwise
until you hear a clicking sound.
To detach the softbox, cool down the flash and the softbox first.
When they are cool enough to touch, press the locking button with one hand and rotate the softbox
anti clockwise and pull it out with the other hand.
