Flash output controller (5) decides different power output, satisfying light requirements in different environment. The power is adjustable freely from 5.0 to 8.0 which will be accordingly shown on the digital display (10). "OF" on the display indicates that the flash triggering function is turned off. It can automatically discharge power when the flash output is adjusted from high to low.
To fire the flash without taking a picture, press the test button (9). It can also help adjust the flash brightness when combined with the flash output controller (5).
The sync cord jack (2) is a Φ6.35mm plug. Insert a trigger plug here and the flash will be fired synchronously with the camera shutter.
Three slave triggering models are available and can be set by pressing Slave Model Button (8).
The sound button (7) is used for deciding whether there is sound reminder for ready flash after recharging. When the buzz indicator (12) is on, the buzz function is working; when it is off, the buzz function is not working. A "BI" sound will be heard when it's fully charged.
The device is equipped with memory function for the panel setting. It will help remember the panel setting 3 seconds after you set it. When starting up the flash next time, the panel setting will be the same as that before powering it off.
Shut down the power and remove the power cord before replacing the flash tube. Wear insulated gloves to loosen the iron wire on the tube, keep a balanced hold on the two feet of the flash tube and pull out the old tube gently. Take down the feet casing from the old tube and put it on the new one. Hold two feet of the new tube, and target directly towards the two copper outlets, then push them slightly in. Twine the iron wire on the stainless steel sheet to fix the flash tube.

To prevent damage to the product or injury to you or to others, read the following safety precautions in their entirety before using this device. Keep these safety instructions where users can read them for ready reference.
Do not disassemble or modify
There are high-voltage components inside the unit. Failure to observe this precaution could result in electric shock or product malfunction. Should the product break open as the result of a fall or other accident, send the defective back to the authorized service center for inspection and maintenance.
Keep dry
Do not handle with wet hands, immerse in water, or expose to rain. Failure to observe this precaution could result in fire or electric shock.
Keep out of reach of children
This device contains small parts that may pose a choking hazard. Consult a physician immediately if a child swallows any part of this device.
Do not expose to high temperature
Do not leave the device in a closed vehicle in the sun or in other areas subject to extremely high temperature. Failure to observe this precaution could result in fire or damage to the housing or internal parts.
After 30 continuous flashes at full power, the flash should be cooled down for about 3 minutes. Overheating will occur if it is used continuously without cooling down.
Do not keep using the modeling lamp for a long time, otherwise flammable accessories attaching to flash head, e.g. softbox will get burnt. A 10-minute time is recommended in this case. After 10 minutes, cool it down for 1 minute.
When using a snoot, do not keep the modeling lamp on for a long time or fire too frequently (not over six times for one minute). Overheating will result in damages for strobe housing and/or studio light.
Do not touch the lamp cap when the flash or modeling lamp is working, as it will give out heat, leading to high surface temperature.
Do not touch the two terminals of the tube outlet as there is high voltage inside. Wear insolated gloves before replacing the tube or modeling lamp.
Avoid sudden impacts as this can damage the flash tube and/or modeling lamp.
Do not flash directly towards naked eyes (especially those of babies), otherwise it may lead to visual impairment.
Disconnect from the power supply when it will not be used for an extended period.
