Replacing The Reflector/Front Glass; Changing Flash Tube And Model Light Led - Profoto B1 500 AirTTL User Manual

Umbrella mounting
Umbrellas are simply mounted by sliding the umbrella shaft into the Umbrella holder [7].
The diameter of the umbrella shaft must be between 7 mm and 8 mm in order to fit. When
an umbrella is used, it is not possible to mount an external reflector at the same time.
1. Slide the umbrella shaft into the Umbrella holder [7].
2. After a few centimeters, there will be more friction, then continue to slide the umbrella
shaft a few more centimeters into the Umbrella holder [7].
Replacing the Front glass
The Front glass [5] can be replaced with optional front glass or glass domes. Domes can
be used to enhance the "zoom effect" if using any of Profoto's "zoomable" reflectors.
1. Switch off the B1 and remove the battery.
2. Wait five minutes to allow the unit to be fully discharged and cooled down.
3. Gently remove the Front glass [5] by pushing the springs holding the glass gently to the sides.
4. Carefully fit the front glass/glass dome in place. Make sure that all springs holding the
glass are back in position and securely holding the front glass/glass dome.
