1. Turning the unit off will allow the Travel-Pak to reach full charge faster.
2. Check charger is located securely in charger and red lamp on charger is lit.
Q My Flash Unit makes multiple beeps when Travel-Pak goes into sleep mode.
1. You should always turn off Travel-Pak when left without being used, this will also improve the battery
life.

1. Head Socket
The Travel-Pak can power one or two Esprit
Gemini Flash Heads.
2. Battery Level Indicator
Shows from maximum to low charge.
3. Power Switch
To turn the unit on or off.
4. Charge Socket
Use supplied 2A charger for approx 3 Hours
charge (5hrs for Travel-Pak+). Use only Bowens
approved chargers or permanent damage to your
unit may result.
For best results keep your battery fully charged
and do not fully discharge it.
5. Charge A & B
Indicates power being supplied to channel A or B
in normal use, also indicates charge errors (Page
7). It is normal for the unit to supply a long period
of charge then very small amounts of top up
charge.
If two units require charge at the same time one
may be charged fully before the other.
6. Fast/Slow Select
If Fast charge is selected a 500Ws unit will
charge to full power in approximately 4.5
Seconds
If Slow charge is selected it will charge a 500Ws
unit in approximately 9 Seconds.
The use of the fast mode will reduce the life of the
internal battery. It is recommended to use the
Slow charge select whenever possible.
Note: The fast charge feature is disabled when
the battery is low on charge. When the red
battery indicator starts to show, the unit will take
longer to come to ready. If fast charge is still
required, recharge the battery or connect an
approved external battery source.
7. External 12V
Gives a direct connection to the internal battery,
not current limited or regulated. (See Battery
Booster page 11)
