The modeling light is located in the center of the strobe; it is ideal as an aiming
light and night diving light. The second ON position turns on both the power to the
Substrobe and the modeling light. Note that the BATT position also turns ON the
modeling light as a reminder that the switch is in the BATT position.
It is normal for the modeling light to flicker every few seconds as the strobe
capacitors recharge. The momentary power drain on the batteries causes the flickering
as the strobe recycles.

The modeling light bulb is accessed from inside the battery compartment. Turn the
strobe off and remove the battery door and NiMH module. Then unscrew the long stem
securing the bulb holder, and lift out the bulb holder. Tip the front of the strobe up and
the modeling light bulb will drop out of the front.
The o-ring on the bulb holder seals the battery compartment from the electronics.
Keep the o-ring clean. Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover the exposed portion
of the o-ring; wipe off any excess with a clean cloth.
To install the new modeling light bulb, tip the front of the strobe down and slide
the bulb down the groove in the battery compartment. The bulb will drop into the
reflector opening in the front. Then replace the bulb holder in the battery compartment
and tighten to secure.

Use the modeling light to aim the strobe. Look thru the camera's viewfinder, and
aim the strobe so that the modeling light shines in the center of your picture area. If
your subject distance greatly changes, you should recheck the positioning of the strobe.
When using auto-focus cameras, the modeling light may be required in low light
levels to illuminate your subject to allow the camera to auto focus.

OTT fully discharge NiMHs as this
shortens the battery life. Definitely recharge the NiMHs if the modeling light dims or if
the recycle time exceeds 8-10 seconds; batteries are nearly depleted. Store the NiMH
module fully charged and recharge the module for a few hours each month.
