The wrong exposure alarm is partially deactivated when the ready
signal is set to DIM or OFF. In this case, there will only be a long beep
if the D2 unit is used in TTL operation and cannot keep up with the
camera in sequence shooting.

Quick burst

Quick burst is a function that allows a series (burst) of flashes to be
fired at a faster pace than the D2 unit can recharge, without losing light
output. The function is only active when the light output is set to less
than full. The length of the burst, in number of flashes, depends on the
repetition rate and the set light output. The lower the light output is set,
the longer bursts can be triggered. Thanks to this feature, the D2 unit
can trigger several flashes per second on lower power output without
triggering the Wrong exposure alarm. Note that the accuracy of the
light output is slightly less precise when Quick burst is active. Quick
burst is indicated by a blinking energy level setting.

Ready lamp/Test function

The ready lamp and the test button functions are combined.
The white ready lamp [7] is on when the D2 unit is fully charged and
ready to flash.
The test button [7] is used to test the light setting. Push the test button
[7] to release a flash. The D2 unit will flash and the ready lamp [7] will be
off while the unit is recharging. When the recharge is completed, the
ready lamp [7] will be on again.
