Quantum TURBO Compact Mode D'emploi page 3

During charging, each green indi-
cator will blink and eventually stay
on as charge is returned to the bat-
tery. When all green indicators are
lit steadily, charging is complete. See
Section 5 for more charging details.
Turbo C powers two pieces of
photo gear at the same time.
The large socket powers only
flashes using Quantum Flash
Cables ("C" series) as well as
new short Flash Cables
("CC" series). Examples
are CK, CKE, CM4, CV,
CZ, and CCK, CCKE,
CCM4, CCV, CCZ, etc. Plug
these cables into the Turbo C
large socket and into your
flash.
The other socket powers only
digital cameras using Quantum
"XDC" and "YDC" series
Camera Cables. Examples are YDC1, YDC3, YDC100, XDC2, XDC4, etc.
Plug a YDC or XDC cable into the small socket of Turbo C and turn the
lock ring to secure the plug. Plug other end of cable into the camera it is
designed for. Turbo C automatically adjusts the DC low voltage correctly
for your type of camera.
Turbo C is not compatible with "SD" or "CD" series Camera Cables.
Turbo C is also not compatible with "X" series Flash Cables (such as
XA2, XF2, etc.).
Quantum Qflash "T" models come with their own power cord, which plugs
into the large socket of Turbo C.
4. OPERATION
For trouble free operation, always turn Turbo C, camera and flash off
before connecting or disconnecting cables.
To turn Turbo C on press and hold the button marked [ ] until the lights
come on. To turn off, press and hold the button until the lights go out.

Camera [ ] symbols. The indicators Flash and/or Camera will light
steadily when connected to a camera and/or flash. Please see Sections 6
and 7 for LED indications of the status of your Turbo C and/or any prob-

5. CHARGING
Charge at room temperature. Charge the night before, or charge just
before use to be assured of obtaining 100% charge.
Turbo C is supplied with a universal charger that works
with an AC mains power from 100 to 240 VAC. Your
Turbo C is supplied with one of the following
charger models: TCRUS (USA, Canada,
Japan); TCRE (euro countries);
TCRUK (United Kingdom);
TCRA (Australia, New
Zealand). Plug adapters
may be used to allow charg-
ing from any 90-240 VAC
power outlet. A voltage con-
verter is not necessary.
Be sure the AC mains socket is an uninterruptible line (not switched).
The charge indicator [ ] will light when the charger is properly connect-
ed. It is important not to interrupt the charging so that the computer-
ized fuel gauge remains accurate. If the charge cycle is interrupted,
the fuel gauge may read incorrectly during use, but will correct itself on
the next cycle.
A full charge takes about 2 hours. Do not use any other type of charg-
er and risk damage to the Turbo C and the charger!
