Preparation

before Shooting >

The TLA30 Auto Flash Unit is powered by four 1.5 V AA-size penlight batteries, alkaline-manganese or manganese, or by four 1.2

V rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries of the same size. The use of high performance alkaline-manganese batteries is particularly

recommended.

Test Flash To test the flash unit, first set the power switch to "ON" and then press the combination Flash-Ready Lamp/Test Button

control when it lights red. When not using the flash unit immediately afterwards, reset the power switch to "OFF" to conserve the

batteries.

Precautions:

Recycling time will slow down as the batteries weaken. When the flash-ready lamp fails to light within 30 seconds of

the previous flash, it means the batteries are inadequately charged. When this occurs, replace all four batteries at the same time.

Mixing of old and new batteries will shorten battery life.

Battery performance will deteriorate temporarily when batteries are exposed to near subzero temperatures. When using the flash

unit in cold areas, it is recommended that the batteries be protected from the cold by keeping the flash unit in a bag or in some cold

weather gear, or that a set of fresh batteries be kept on hand. Batteries thus weakened will regain their power and become

serviceable again upon being returned to normal temperatures.

***

Battery contacts contaminated with oil or sweat can cause poor electrical contact. Wipe the contacts clean with a dry cloth

before use to ensure maximum performance.

<Mounting the Flash Unit> The TLA30 is designed to function only on cameras with a hot shoe (Direct X) contact.

Functions:

Firmly secure the flash unit by turning the locking ring as far as it will go in the direction of the arrow.
