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.

● 

If you fire more than 30 continuous flashes and then fire more 

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 display.
