Connecting the Strobe

Connect the strobe with the fiber-optic cable (option) when the strobe is 
triggered by sensing the light from the camera's built-in flash.

CAUTION

Before inserting the fiber-optic cable, check to make sure that there are 
no scraches or dirt on the connector surface.  Scratches or dirt may 
cause the strobe to malfunction.

To protect the surface from scratches or dirt, do not remove the caps from 
the fiber-optic cable sockets when the cable is not inserted.

There is no possibility of water leaking from the fiber-optic cable socket 
even if the fiber-optic cable/cable socket cap is removed underwater.

After the strobe is connected to the housing, make sure to check that the 
connected strobe functions correctly before underwater use.
