Accessories
Important:
We accept no liability for malfunctions of or damage to the flash unit caused by
the use of accessories of other manufacturers!
Diffuser (Order no. 14 489)
With this diffuser, soft lighting can be achieved very simply. Skin tones are
reproduced more naturally. In addition, as a result of the wider diffusion of the
light, the angle of view of 16mm lenses is also covered.
Corresponding to the light loss, the maximum working ranges are reduced by
about a half.

Care and maintenance
• Remove any dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use any cleaning agents – plastic components could be damaged.
Firmware update
The flash unit firmware can be updated through the USB socket (1.9) and adapted
to the functions of future cameras as far as is technically possible (firmware update)

Reset
The flash unit can be reset to the factory settings implemented when delivered.
To do so, press and hold the Mode
button (1.13) for about three seconds.
“RESET” will then appear on the monitor. After about three seconds, the
display switches to the state when it was delivered.
This will not affect firmware updates for the flash unit!
Conditioning the flash capacitor
The flash capacitor built into the flash unit is subject to a physical change when
the device has not been used for a long time. For this reason, it is necessary to
switch on the device every three months for approximately ten minutes. The
battery must deliver enough power so that the flash ready indication (1.16)
lights up no later than one minute after switching on.
