Recycle Lockout
Some flash un its can be damaged if they are triggered too quickly or before they are
fully recharged. This may cause the flash to overheat. Use Multipop Mode to protect
the flash by setting a safe recycle lockout time. Follow the steps below:
1. On a MultiMAX (set for RECEIVE mode) press ~ / M E N U A C
2. Enter the desired recycle lockout time and press ~ / M E N U
3. Enter a count of 1 and press ~ / M E N U
4. A ttac h r em ote f las h to P O R T 2
Exam ple: If the loc kout time you en tered was 3 s econ ds , then the rem ote flas h c ould
not be triggered more than once every 3 seconds.
