Check the DS 's ready light Turn the strobe's mode switch to OFF and then

N N o o t t e e : : it is possible to buy bad "new" batteries; check the voltage output with
a meter If using NiCad or NiMH batteries make sure the charger is operating
properly and that the batteries are fully charged

C C a a u u t t i i o o n n : : When creating a circuit via paper clip or "shorting " pay close attention
to which two receptacles you connect If you short across the wrong receptacles
on a TTL sync cord you may damage the DS 's electronics
The specific receptacles to connect with the paper clip vary based on the type
of cord you own Please refer to the diagram of two types of flash cord contacts
When using a sync cord between the camera and strobe disconnect the cord
from the camera but leave the cord connected to the strobe Then use the two
ends of a bent paper clip to connect different receptacles on the flash cord
contacts as detailed in the diagram below This process known also as "shorting "
creates a temporary circuit that can test fire the strobe
