 1. PUT IN THE BATTERIES
Remove the battery Gover (4) and
 insert four AA batteries as indica-
ted inside. Two cells up; two
cells down. lf the cells are not
properly positioned, unit wlll not
operate. lf the cells are dead, the
Pilot Lamp (6) will not llght or will
be slow to light. lt is recom-
mended batteries be fresh.


2. ATTACH TO CAMERA
Slide the flash (2) on to your camera using the
accessory shoe on top, and tlghten Shoe Lock
Nut (1). lf your camera does not have a hot-shoe
contact, plug one end of the Synchro-cord (9)
into the synchro-cord Socket (3) and the other
end into the small socket on your camera,
marked "X". lf your camera has a hot-shoe then
you do not need the cord.

3. SELECT SHUTTER SPEED
 For between-lens shutters, any
 desired shutter speed may be
 used. Recommended shutter
speed is 11125 sec. For focal
plane shutters, set to "x" posi-
tion, or consult your instruction
book under electronic flash.


4. TURN THE FLASH "ON''
Switch on the unit (7). A "whin-
ing" sound will indicate that the
unit is working. When Pilot Lamp
(6) lights the flash is ready for
use. When not in use, switch off
to prevent batteries from dis-
charging.


 5. DETERMINE I/STOP
Look at the Flash Table (5) on the back of the
unit. Now you must know how far away the
person you are shooting is, so focus the camera,
or guess at the distance. Then look down from
that distance and across from your ASA film
number, and you will see the f/stop to set your
camera to. For example,  if your film ASA is 100,
and you are taking a picture 2O ft. away, the
f/stop would be I/4.

    ies. They are usually good tor a litile over 300
   flashes on Alkaline AA cells.

   camera and you should take your flash and
   camera (without film in it) to your favorite
   camera shop.
(c) lf your pictures are too dark, also bring the
   flash, camera, pictures and NEGATIVES to
   your camera shop.

   you are not going to be using  it for a month
   or so.
