Battery and Charger

• The Modus 600RT uses a lithium ion battery HLX-MD1

and it must be charged before use

• Use only the MD1 charger to charge the battery

• Remove battery from charger when charging is nished

and disconnect charger from mains

A fully charged battery will offer approx 500 ashes at full

power and even more when power level is reduced. The

composition and construction of the MD1 battery pack

offers very reliable and fast refresh time for the speedlight.

How to store the battery

When not in use remove battery from the charger or

the speedlight and store battery in a cool and dry place.

Exposing the battery to higher temperature can shorten

the lifetime of the battery. Store the battery almost empty

(one bar in the battery level indicator) when not used for

a long period of time. For optimum battery life use battery

regularly and if not used for more than 6 months charge

the battery fully and use it with the Modus 600RT until the

battery level is down to 1 bar again before storage.

Battery Lifetime

The lifetime of a recharable battery is limited. The capacity

will drop progressively with use and age of battery

pack. Replace the battery pack when the ash cycle

time becomes longer or the number of ashes reduces

noticeably. The battery lifetime can vary substantially

depending on storage, operation conditions and exposure

to unsuitable enviormental conditions

Caution

• Do not short circuit the battery

• Do not drop battery into water or re

• Do not drop or dismantle or subject the batteries to

strong impact or continuous mechanical shock

• Stop using the battery if the battery has any signs of

damage or bulging to housing and dispose of battery in

accordance with the appropriate local regulations

How to charge the battery

The HLX-MD1 battery must be charged before use. Use

only the supplied MD1 charger to charge the battery.

Connect the MD1 charger to the mains with the supplied

mains cable and the power LED will light up red if

connected correctly. To start the charge insert the HLX-

MD1 battery into the MD1 charger and the green LED

bars will start to illuminate, indicating that the battery is

charging. 4 green LED’s on indicates full charge. Remove

the battery from charger when fully charged.

Power Management

Use ON/OFF Power Switch to power the ash unit on or

off. Turn off if it will not be used for an extended period of

time. Setting as a master ash, it will turn the power off

automatically after a certain period (approx. 90 seconds)

of idle use. Pressing the camera shutter halfway or

pressing any ash button will wake up the ash unit.

Setting as a slave ash, it will enter sleep mode after a

certain period (adjustable, 60 minutes by default) of idle

use. Pressing any ash button will wake it up.

Disabling Auto Power Off function is recommended

when the ash is used off camera. (C.Fn-APO)

determine the required ash output.

Flash Output Power Range

The following table makes it easier to see how the stop

changes in terms of f/stop when you increase or decrease

the ash output.

For example, when you decrease the ash output: 1/2,

1/2-0.3, or 1/2-0.7, or increase the ash output:1/2,

1/2+0.3, 1/2+0.7, 1/1.

Optical O1 Secondary Unit Setting

In M manual ash mode, press <O1/O2> button so that

this ash can function as an optical O1 secondary ash

using its optical sensor. With this function, the ash will

re synchronously when a second main ash res. This is

the same effect as usng a radio trigger to re the ash off

camera. This helps create multiple lighting effects.

Optical O2 Secondary Unit Setting

In M manual ash mode, press <O1/O2> button so that

this ash can function as an optical O2 secondary ash

using its optical sensor. With this function, the ash will

= Shutter Speed

For example, if the number of ashes is 10 and the ring

frequency is 5 Hz, the shutter speed should be at least 2

seconds.

• To avoid overheating and deteriorating the ash head,

do not use stroboscopic ash more than 10 times in

succession

• After 10 times, allow the speedlight to rest for at least 15

minutes. If you try to use the stroboscopic ash more than

10 times in succession, the ring might stop automatically

to protect the ash head. If this happens, allow at least 15

minutes’ rest for the speedlight

• Stroboscopic ash is most effective with a highly reective

subject against a dark background

• Using a tripod and a remote control is recommended.

• A ash output of 1/1 and 1/2 cannot be set for stroboscopic

ash

• Stroboscopic ash can be used with“buLb”

• If the number of ashes is displayed as “--”, the ring

will continue until the shutter closes or the battery is

exhausted. The number of ashes will be limited as shown

by the following table.

Maximum Stroboscopic Flashes:

If the number of ashes is displayed as “--”, the maximum number of

ashes will be as shown in the following table regardless of the ash

Using Automatic Wireless Flash

with Multiple Slave Units

When stronger ash output or more convenient lighting

operation is needed, increase the number of slave

speedlight’s. To add slave units, use the same steps as

setting“automaticwirelessashwithasingleslave

unit” (Page 28). Any slave speeedlight can be set as

group (A/B/C).

When the number of slave units is increased or the

master ash ring is set to ON, automatic control is

performed to re all ashes at the correct ash output to

ensure that the total ash output results in the standard

exposure.

• If the slave unit’s auto power off takes effect, press the

master unit’s test ash button to turn on the slave unit.

Note that the test ash cannot be performed while the

camera’s metering timer, etc. is operating

• The slave units auto power off setting can be changed

With the wireless system the following functions set on

the master unit will automatically be adjusted on the slave

unit. For this reason you do not need to operate the slave

unit (s) and can operate it from the master in the same

way as normal ash photography.
