Power Management

Use ON/OFF Power Switch to power the flash unit on or off. Turn off
if it will not be used for an extended period of time. Setting as a
master flash, it will turn the power off automatically after a certain
period (approx. 90 seconds) of idle use. Pressing the camera
shutter halfway or pressing any flash button will wake up the flash
unit. Setting as a slave flash, it will enter sleep mode after a certain
period (adjustable, 60 minutes by default) of idle use. Pressing any
flash button will wake it up.
