Before turning on any power to Trio always make all electrical
connections first, both to the camera and to the power pack
.
The Trio is powered by any Quantum Turbo Battery including Turbo,
Turbo 2x2, Turbo Compact, Turbo SC, Turbo AC and Turbo Z.
Plug the Trio power cable into the flash, then into the output connection
of the power pack.
If a “Check Turbo” message appears on the Trio display, turn off the
Turbo, wait one second, and turn it on again. If the message appears
again, the power pack needs recharging.

Very Important Tips
For consistent exposures with your digital camera and Trio.
● Always do a custom white balance before shooting
● When shooting TTL use Aperture or Shutter priority or
Manual camera modes (P mode gives inconsistent exposures)
● Set your metering area to center weight, partial metering
instead of matrix or multi-spot metering.
