5 seconds, the unit automatically switches back to display
mode and the latest setting is saved.

for a specific parameter, the current value is increased. Turn it
counter-clockwise, the value decreases.

Turn the setting knob (Fig. 2, I) to set the desired power value
of the flash in the LCD (Fig. 2, C).
