• Set up the slave flash unit in the intended position and switch it on. The

flash unit automatically switches to the TTL flash mode. ”SL” flashes under

the flash mode display “TTL” to indicate the slave flash mode. The zoom

reflector of the handle-mount is guided into the 28 mm position. “A-Zoom”

appears in the display.

The slave flash unit must work in the flash mode “TTL” for the Metz

TTL remote flash mode as well as for the Metz automatic remote flash

mode!

•

Wait until the flash readiness indicator   lights up. When flash readiness is

available, the AF measuring beam  also flashes on the control unit.

• Trigger a test flash on the controller (see 17.1). After being programmed

successfully, the slave fires a delayed flash and the flash readiness indica-

tor flashes (see 17.4).

If necessary, the zoom position of the handle-mount can be changed

manually.

17.4 Control and alteration of the slave address

After a test flash has been triggered, the controller address Co1 or Co2 is

permanently set. In order to determine to which address the slave has been

set, you should pay attention to the flashing flash readiness indicator.

If the flash readiness indicator  on the handle flashes in a single second

cycle (- - - - -), controller address Co1 has been set. Double flashing of the

flash readiness indicator  in a single second cycle (-- -- -- -- --) indicates

controller address Co2.

To change the slave address, switch off the slave flash unit for approx. 5

seconds. Select the remote channel on the controller and when flash readi-

ness is available on the controller, trigger a test flash (see 17.1).

. Troubleshooting hints

Should it ever happen that the display indicates meaningless information or

should the flash unit not work as it is meant to do, turn off the flash unit for

approx. 10 seconds at the main switch. Check the correct assembly of the

SCA adapter and the flash unit foot in the accessory shoe of the camera and

the camera settings.

Replace the battery pack with a freshly charged one.

When you turn it on, the flash unit should once more work normally. If this is

not the case, please contact your specialist dealer.

19. Maintenance and care

Remove any grime and dust with a soft, dry cloth. Never use detergents that

could damage plastic parts.

Forming the flash capacitor:

The flash capacitor incorporated in the flash unit undergoes a physical change

if the flash unit is not switched on for prolonged periods of time. For this reason

it is necessary to switch on the flash unit for approximately 10 minutes every

three months. The power source must supply sufficient energy for flash readi-

ness to be indicated within one minute after the flash unit was turned on.

Battery care:

The NiMH battery pack should be kept in a charged condition (at least

approx. 80%) and be recharged at regular intervals!
