full-power use during a short timeframe.
Stage 1: Once the speedlight reaches an internal operating temperature of 212°F (100°C), the
screen will display a yellow [
OH
]. The recycle time will also increase by 2 seconds in an effort to
cool the unit while allowing for continued operation.
Stage 2: Once the strobe reaches an internal operating temperature of 266°F (130°C), the screen
will display a red
[OH]
icon. The recycle time will increase an additional 2 seconds in efforts to
cool the unit while allowing for further operation.

to continue operation.
