E-14

This model comes equipped with a strobe 
bulkhead (black: 

1

) and a TTL converter 

bulkhead (red: 

2

). 

CAUTION 

If you connect the YS series strobe sync 
cord to the bulkhead for TTL converter (red: 

2

), it could damage the pins on the bulkhead connector; so make sure never 

to do that. Likewise, if you connect the TTL converter’s camera connection 
cable to the strobe bulkhead (black: 

1

), it could damage the pins on the 

bulkhead connector; so make sure never to do that. 

1

Remove the housing’s bulkhead connector cap 

2

Make sure there are no scratches or 

debris on the O-ring of the sync cord 

being connected 

3

Align the round mark (the notch) of 

the sync cord with the round mark 

(the convex part) of the strobe 

bulkhead, and then push it straight in  

4

Align the B part of the sync cord with 

the screws of the strobe bulkhead, 

and then rotate it until it stops 

5

Rotate the C part of the sync cord until 

it stops 

z

Tighten it securely. 

z

When removing the sync cord, loosen C 
first, then B, and then pull the sync cord straight out holding onto A. Do not 
pull on the cord part. 

CAUTION 

z

After use underwater, make sure to prevent water droplets from dripping 
into the bulkhead connector by wiping moisture away from the bulkhead 
connector and then turning the housing upside down and extracting the 
sync cord. In the event that water droplets do drip into the connector, 
promptly wipe away all moisture. 

z

If you use incompatible strobes, not only might they not work correctly, but 
they may also cause the camera and the strobe to malfunction.
