7.0  Error Conditions and troubleshooting 

 

Symptom

 

Solution

 

A flash cable is connected but 
the output indicator is not lit or 
blinking. 

The cable could be broken, 
shorted, or it may be the wrong 
cable.  Connect the cable to the 
other output; if the output 
indicator does not light, the 
cable has one of the above 
problems. 
 

C type Flash Cable is connected 
to a flash and the output light 
blinks for 30 seconds 

Turbo 3 has detected that no 
flash is connected.  This could 
be caused by a bad cable or 
loose cable.  Check that the 
cable is securely connected to 
flash and battery, then restart 
Turbo 3. 
 

SD Camera Cable connected to 
B socket, C Flash Cable to the A  
socket.  The A white flash LED  
blinks and high voltage is shut 
off.    

Probably the “C” Flash Cable is 
broken (the cable is faulty).  
Replace the Flash Cable. 
 

The green 25% fuel gauge LED 
light blinks for a few minutes, 
and then all lights go out and 
there is no power to the 
equipment connected. 
 

This is the low battery indication.  
Recharge.  Check that the 
charger is connected to a live 
mains outlet that cannot be. 
switched off.
