Attaching the Battery Pack
»Never attach a water damaged battery pack to a strobe. Use of
a water damaged battery pack is a safety risk and can cause
damage to the strobe electronics.
1. Turn the Power Switch to the OFF Position and place the strobe
face down on a fl at surface.
2. Check that the o-ring is in place and that the sealing surfaces are
clean. It is not necessary to lubricate the o-ring.
9
3. Place the toggle lock in the open position by sliding out, fl ipping up,
and rotating 90 degrees counter-clockwise.
4. Align the battery pack with the front of the strobe. The switches on
the side of the strobe and battery pack will line up when properly
oriented.
5. Press the battery pack down gently but fi rmly until it is fl ush with the
strobe front.
6. Press fi rmly on the toggle lock and rotate clockwise 90 degrees
until it stops.
7. Flip the toggle lock down and slide in to the locked position.
Using the Diffuser
The standard diffuser may be attached to further soften and spread
the edges of the strobe’s light output. The addition of a diffuser to any
strobe or light will reduce the effective power of the light.
The standard diffuser reduces the effective guide number of the fl ash
by approximately one f/stop.
An optional Dome Diffuser is available separately to spread out the
light even more when shooting wide angle or macro.
Attaching the Diffuser
1. We recommend attaching the diffuser to the strobe with a string
or lanyard using the two holes in the diffuser. This will prevent
accidental loss when not in use.
10
2. Align the notches in the diffuser with the Diffuser Mounts on the
front of the strobe.
3. Press the diffuser down and rotate counter-clockwise until it stops.
Choosing an Arm System
• An aluminum ball socket arm system is recommended to
adequately support the strobe while allowing the most fl exible
positioning options.
• Most arm systems are designed for underwater use and may not
fully support the strobe above water. Be careful when transporting
the system above water.
• The mounting point is located on the bottom of the strobe. Slide the
mount into the strobe until it stops. Be careful not to cross-thread
the screw when installing.
• Although not necessary, you may apply a small amount of Ikelite
silicone lubricant to the screw prior to attaching the strobe mount
to avoid seizing up with long term use. DO NOT apply Loc-tite or
any other thread locking product as this may cause damage to the
strobe’s plastic components.
