the other end into the PC Sync Socket on the camera. The flash unit will fire when
the camera’s shutter-release button is pressed.
Protection Function
High-Temperature Protection
To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not fire more than 75
continuous flashes in fast succession at 1/1 full power. After 75 continuous flashes,
allow a rest time of at least 10 minutes.
If you fire more than 75 continuous flashes and then fire more flashes in short
intervals, the High-Temperature Protection function may be activated and make the
recycling time about 10 to 15 seconds. If this occurs, allow a rest time of about 10
minutes, and the flash unit will then return to normal.
When the High-Temperature Protection is started, is shown on the LCD display.
