Your flashgun is provided with a memory that will enable you to enter your own
flash programs on nine program places. This is particularly advantageous for
constantly recurring flash situations.
Program 0 (Prog.0) is loaded when the flashgun is operated for the first time.The
home program place 0 covers the standard operating range of the flashgun.
The data that were active just before the flashgun was switched off are stored in
program 0. If, prior to switch-off, the data were loaded in program 7 and one or
more of the parameters were changed, then it is possible that program „0“ will
be indicated. If the flashgun is now switched off, the data will be stored and pre-
sented in an unchanged form on program „0“ when the flashgun is switched on
again.
The 9 program places have been assigned in the factory as specified in Table 3 of
the Technical Data.
The second STO and RCL functions assigned to the buttons are displayed only
after the Prog. button has been depressed.The second functions are:
STO = STORE the values indicated on the LC display.
RCL = RECALL = Load the stored data of a user program.

Fig. 22: Calling a stored user program
When proceeding from program 0 - as the home program with the standard
operating range - to transfer to another program with RCL (Recall),the data of the
standard working range are first stored in the home program place 0 before the
new data of the selected program place can be read from the memory.
In the event that the original standard operating data have to be reactivated, then
the home program place 0 is merely recalled.
If a new program place is called without subsequently pressing the buttons STO
(Store)
or RCL (Recall)
then, after 5 seconds, the flashgun automatically
switches back to the previously adjusted program place.
Calling a stored program:
1 Press the Prog. button
; Prog. flashes.
2 Select the desired program place Prog. ? with the „+“ button
.
3 Press the button P (RCL)
.
The program is now loaded and can be used.
A flashing mode symbol on the LC display after a user program has been called
indicates a deviation from the setting of the operating mode selector. However,
this does not have any influence on the actual exposure. To turn off the flashing
symbol,adjust the operating mode selector to the mode that is flashing on the LC
display.
