Attach the reector by loosening the
knob on the side of the reector, and
inserting the reector so that the
notches slide around the pins on the
light head. Make certain that the
hole for the umbrella shaf t is
positioned on the bottom of the
reector.

Twist the reector clockwise until the
pins are seated all the way into the
notches, and then tighten the reector
locking knob to secure the reector.
Impact also makes an adapter that will
accommodate Bowens-mount
reectors (see your Impact dealer).

If an umbrella is to be used, insert the
umbrella’s shaft through the umbrella
mounting hole on the reector and
then through the hole on the light
stand mount.

Make sure the power pack is turned
off. Insert the power cable into the
ash head power jack.

Plug the other end of the power cable
into the power pack (outlet A). Outlet
A on the Mini LT Power Pack is for
connecting to the LiteTrek 4.0
Monolight. Outlet B is for connecting
to compatible portable ash units. The
Power Pack will not turn on unless a
power cable is securely connected.
This prevents the battery from
discharging when the power pack is
not in use. Turn the power pack on by
pressing the power button. You’re
ready to begin shooting.
