2. Install the batteries.
Make sure the positive (+) and
negative (-) battery contacts are
properly oriented as shown in the
compartment.
3. Slide the battery compartment
door in the direction shown by
the arrow to close it.
Caution:
1. Use a new set of AA batteries of
the same brand and type. When
replacing batteries, replace all
four at the same time.
2. AA-sized alkaline, Ni-MH, or
lithium batteries can be used.
Use only one type of batteries at
a time. Do not mix battery types.
3. If you change batteries after
f iring many ashes continuously,
be aware that the batteries may
be hot.
4. For alkaline or lithium
batteries, the battery level
indicator on the LCD will show
10
7.2
when around 50% of the battery
power has been consumed, and
the indicator will blink when
the ash does not have enough
power to f ire. Replace batteries
immediately when you see the
blinking signal. The
indicator is not applicable to
Ni-MH battery.
5. When the ash is not in use,
remove the batteries to prevent
possible damage from battery
corrosion.
Attaching the Flash to and detaching it
from the Camera
1. To attach the ash, slide the
ash’s hot shoe mounting foot
all the way into the camera’s hot
shoe.
2. To secure the ash, rotate the
locking wheel on the mounting
foot to the left until it locks.
11
7.3
3. To detach the ash, rotate the
locking wheel on the mounting
foot to the right until it is
loosened.
Turning the Flash On
1. Switch the On/Off Switch to ON.
The ash starts charging.
2. Check that the ash is ready.
- The ash-ready indicator blinks
in red, indicating that the ash
is ready for quick ash (see
Section 12.4).
- Once fully charged, the ash-
ready indicator stays red and the
ash is ready to give full power
output.
12
7.4
- Press the button to f ire a
test ash.
Caution:
1. When the ash is switched ON but
not used, after a certain period
of time, the ash’s power turns
off automatically. However, the
ash still consumes power and
batteries discharge over a long
period of time, which may damage
the battery contacts of the ash.
Therefore, shut off the ash
power if the ash is not in use.
2. The overheating protection of the
RF60X may stop the ash from
f iring after a number of full
power ashes have been f ired in
short intervals. The temperature
warning signal will appear in
the status bar of the LCD
display. If this occur, allow a
rest time of about 15 minutes
and the ash will then return to
normal.
3. To prevent the ash from over-
heating, turn on the Cooling Mode
(see Section 12.1).
Adjusting the Flash Head
By pointing the ash toward a wall or
ceiling, the ash will bounce off
the surface before illuminating the
subject. This will soften the shadows
behind the subject for a more
13
natural-looking shot. This is called
a bounce ash.
Tip: When using bounce ash, try to
avoid hitting the subject with
direct ash light. Make sure the
ash head is suff iciently angled
away from the subject.
The ash head of the RF60X can be
tilted up to a vertical angle of 90˚,
with click stops at 30˚, 60˚, 75˚, and
down at 15˚. Horizontally, it can be
rotated up to 180˚ to the right and
90˚ to the left, with click stops at
30˚, 60˚, 90˚, 120˚, 150˚ (right) and
30˚, 60˚ (left).

7.5 Bounce Card and Wide Angle Diffuser
There is a bounce card and wide angle
diffuser set built in the RF60X. The
bounce card and wide angle diffuser
can be used separately or at the same
time.
Tip: The bounce card is useful in
bounce ash applications to direct
some of the light toward the
subject in order to create catch
lights and/or soften strong shadows
from the bounced light.
Using the Bounce Card
1. Point the ash head upward by 90°.
2. Pull out the wide angle diffuser.
The bounce card will come out at
the same time.
3. Push the wide angle diffuser back
in. The bounce card will be ready
for use.
15
7.6
Using the Wide Angle Diffuser
1. Pull out the wide angle diffuser
and place it over the ash head as
shown. The bounce card will come
out at the same time.
2. Push the bounce card back in.
The ash will illuminate at 18 mm
coverage.
Choosing the Operating Mode
There are three operating modes in
the RF60X, namely Local, Master, and
Slave. Upon switching on the RF60X,
press the button to choose the
appropriate mode. The mode indicator
turns in the following sequence:
