Powering the Monolight
The Impact VC-500WLN-II Monolight is designed to 
operate with a 100–130 V, 50/60 Hz AC power. Before 
powering your monolight, first plug the AC cable into 
the flash’s AC input, and then plug it into the 
wall socket.
Press the power switch to turn the unit on. The 
display will show the current flash power setting.
Note:
The monolight saves all of the previous flash
and modeling light settings. All of these settings will be active when powering 
on.
Important!
Impact recommends charging the monolight’s capacitors for one
hour before its initial use, and after an extended period of inactivity (more than 
two weeks). If the unit is left unused for an extended period of time, or if the unit 
has been mostly used at low power, set the monolight output to full power and 
leave it plugged in and switched on (with the modeling lamp off) for at least 30 
minutes. This will help preserve the life of the capacitors.
