2.4 Switching the flash unit on and off
To switch on set the main switch to “ON”. To switch

The dedicated flash functions can only be
performed if both the camera and the flash

pose it is necessary to lightly press the ca-
mera’s shutter release.
Automatic switch-off function / AUTO OFF
To save battery power and prevent inadvertent
battery discharge the flash unit is factory-set to
switch over to standby mode (AUTO OFF) approx.
3 minutes after:
- switch-on,
- a setting procedure,
- firing a flash.
The flash readiness signal and the indications on the
LC display panel go out. After automatic switch-off
the last used settings are retained and instantly avail-
able when the flash unit is switched on again.
The flash unit is reactivated merely by depression
of any key or by lightly pressing the camera’s shut-
ter release (wake-up function).
