• When the battery level is too low, the flash cannot be used and the battery level
indication is blinking.

2. Short Circuit, Overcurrent and Overvoltage Protections

• With built-in hardware to protect circuit. Auto power off will occur when running
into short circuit, overcurrent and overvoltage.

3. Over-Temperature Protection:

• Over-temperature protection: when the intervals between the two flashes is within
10 seconds, the over-temperature protection will be activated after firing 40 times
in full power with approx. two-meter distance. When over-temperature protection
occurs, the blue lamp, not the battery level indicator, will blinks in 1 second's cycle
until the over-temperature protection is relieved. Now if continues to fire flashes,
the recycle time will be longer (max. 8s). And the over-temperature protection will
be relieved if stops firing for 3 minutes. The over-temperature protection will be

activated when the temperature of flash’s internal component is over 80°C and be
relieved below 60°C.

• The over-temperature protection will be activated when firing in full power for 40
times with approx. two-meter shooting distance.
