Using Auto Power Off

To save battery power, if the flash is not used for 90 seconds the power turns off
automatically when attached to a camera, or mounted on its stand or a tripod. When
the flash is in S1/S2 slave triggering mode, the flash enters sleep mode after 30 to 60
minutes (adjustable). To turn the flash on again, press the camera's shutter button
halfway, or press the flash's TEST button.
Caution
If the battery icon blinks on the LCD panel, the battery
power is low and the flash stops charging. Change the batteries
immediately.
To test the flash, press the TEST button.
Do not look closely at the flash window or point it at someone's
eyes at close range.
When the power switch is set to ON and the flash power has
automatically turned off, power is still being consumed.
Long-term power discharge damages batteries, so make sure to
slide the power switch to OFF if the flash will not be used for an
extended period.
