Futhermore , the maximum number of flashes is increased significantly. Two power supply sockets are provided so that two flashes can be used together at the same time. Before using the Power Pack PS-300, please read this operation manual and refer your flash owners manual carefully to get a better understanding of proper operation to enjoy flash photography.

1. Do not shoot more than 20 continuous full power flashes, which may damage the flash circuit. Interrupt the shooting of flashes for 10 to 15 minutes after such continuous shooting. 2. When using one flash power supply cable only, the open socket is to be capped since it carries a high voltage at its contacts. 3. This power pack is effective only when the flash unit is operational. Do not remove the batteries in the flash unit. 4. For safety reason, the power pack can be switched on only when the flash power supply cable is plugged into the socket on the power pack main body. 5. Using two flashes together requires more energy from the batteries and this may result in a longer recycle time than using one flash. 6. The oscillating circuit is automatically switched off for safety protection when the power pack main body circuit is overheated. The flash is then charged by its own batteries in the flash unit only and the recycle time becomes longer. The oscillation is suspended to cool down the power pack main body circuit for about 4 to 5 minutes and it returns to the normal operation automatically.
