Slave Sync operation

When ‘Slave’ is shown in the Sync/Air setting section [21] on the Display [13], the B1 unit 
senses the flash release, as well as IR signals from most IR sync transmitters.

1. If the Sync/Air setting section [21] is blank, press the SYNC button [18] once to activate 
wireless sync. ‘AIR’ or ‘Slave’ is now displayed.
2. Ensure that ‘Slave’ is displayed. If not, press and hold the SYNC button [18] until ‘Slave’ 
is displayed.

Cable Sync operation

Sync via cable is possible in all sync modes. Connect a sync cable from the camera or flash 
meter to the Sync Connector [11] on the B1 unit.

Modeling light settings

The current setting is shown in the Modeling light setting section [19] on the Display [13].

1. Press the MODEL button [14] to turn the modeling light on or off.
2. With the modeling light on, press and hold down the MODEL button [14] to toggle 

between ‘PROP’ and ‘FREE’:

•  PROP: The modeling light intensity is automatically adjusted to be proportional to the 

selected energy level of the flash light.

•  FREE: The modeling light intensity is manually set, independent from the energy level 

of the flash light.

3. If ‘FREE’ is selected: With the modeling light on, press and hold down the MODEL button 

[14] until the percentage value is blinking. Turn the ENERGY/SETTINGS dial [16] to change 
the percentage value. After a few seconds, the display will stop blinking and the new value 
will be set.

Ready signal settings

The current setting is shown in the Ready signal setting section [20] on the Display [13]:
•  BEEP: The unit beeps when it is ready to flash again after recharging.
•  DIM: The modeling light is turned off after flashing, and is turned on when it is ready to 

flash again.

•  DIM BEEP: The modeling light is turned off after flashing. The unit beeps and the 

modeling light is turned on when it is ready to flash again.

•  Blank: No ready signal.

Use the READY button [17] to select the Ready signal setting:
•  Press the READY button [17] to turn ‘BEEP’ on or off.
•  Press and hold down the READY button [17] to turn ‘DIM’ on or off.
