Preparing Your Flash for Use
1. Select a stand or support system of suitable weight and dimensions to ensure
stable operation of the unit.
2. Install Reflector / Protective Cap and Modeling Lamp
- To remove plastic protective cap off, push the latch knob back towards the rear of
the unit and rotate the plastic protective cap anti clockwise.
- Install the modeling lamp by inserting it into the socket.
- Install the reflector where the protective cap was before. Align the three pegs on
the reflector with the three slots, press the reflector in and rotate clockwise until it
locks in place.
- To remove, push the latch knob back towards the rear of the unit and rotate the
reflector anti-clockwise.
Do not touch the lamp with your bare hands. Oil residue from your fingers can
cause the surface of the lamp to heat unevenly and explode. Use white cotton gloves
or a clean cloth.
Take care not to damage the flash tube assembly when fitting or removing reflec-
tors or soft boxes. The flash tube is very delicate; avoid unnecessary handling of the
flash tube.
Always switch off and disconnect from the main supply before fitting and chan-
ging reflectors, inserting the modeling lamp or replacing the flash tube.
Standard configuration of softbox for Starblitz® SHARK studio flash is SB-030

switch is set to the OFF ("0" position).
