Insert a small coin into the

red indicator is opposite the proper voltage.
Before connecting the power, turn off the power
switch in order to prevent drain on the Ni-Cd bat-
teries if they are left in place. Plug the unit into an
AC source. The speedlight begins to charge up, emit-
ting a buzzing sound.
Recycling takes 5 seconds. However, if the speedlight
Itas not been used for some time, it may take longer
for the pilot lamp to light up. Fire the flash several
times using the open flash button to restore it to its
normal operating condition.
Recharging the Ni-Cd Batteries
You can also use the AC unit/charger to recharge the
batteries whether using the camera and speedlight on
AC power or not. But normally recharging is done
when the speedlight is not in use.
Turn off the power switch on the main unit. Connect
an AC power source to the speedlight by means of
the AC unit/charger just as you would to use the
speedlight with an AC power source. The Ni-Cd
batteries will start to charge up.
Recharging time varies depending on how many times
the flash has been fired. After about 40 flashes, 7 to
8 hours should be sufficient. Completely depleted
