ATTACHING THE SYNC CORD
The sync cord is a 5 pin Nikonos type sync cord. The sync cord connects the flash to the camera housing.
Both ends of the cord are identical so either side can be inserted into the flash and camera housings.
When you insert the cord into the port you must exercise caution—the pins inside the cord are delicate and
must not be damaged.
1. Unscrew the port cover cap and store in a safe place. Gently and accurately attach the sync
cord to the port of the flash housing.
2. While securing the position of the sync connector, screw it into the housing using the locking
screw of the sync cord.
Caution
L INE UP THE CORD TO THE HOUSING IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER :
On the side of the housing port notice a simple alignment indicator [dot].
The 5 pin cord contains a small channel [groove] between 2 of the female
pins of the cord.
You must insert the cord into the port so the groove is aligned with the
indicator of the housing. This assures proper alignment. Hold firmly in place
while fastening locking screw.
