Care and Maintenance
Rinse the strobe exterior thoroughly with running fresh water after every use.
Pressing buttons and rotating knobs repeatedly in fresh water to eliminate
trapped salt water or debris.
Clean the O-rings and the O-ring grooves at a regular time, and apply a small
amount of silicone grease (AOI SIGR-5) to lubricate the O-rings.
Dry well and remove the batteries prior to travel and storage.

IMPORTANT: Wipe the strobe dry and keep seawater away prior to opening the
battery cap. Do not allow seawater to be in contact with the interior parts of the
battery compartment, otherwise it may cause rust, corrosion or malfunction.
If seawater leaks into the battery compartment, please turn off the power and
remove the batteries immediately. Rinse the battery compartment with fresh water
before bringing it back to your local dealer / service center for further assistance.

l. Overheat Protection
UCS-Q1RC is equipped with an overheat protection circuit. If the Strobe is fired
excessively, temperature of the internal electronics will go up rapidly and the
strobe recharging/ recycle time will be slowed down automatically in order to
prevent the Strobe be overheated. If the Strobe is still continuously used, the
Overheat Protection Circuit may be activated. Right Indicator will show Purple
Slow Blinking and the Strobe will be suspended temporarily. After the Strobe cools
down, its Indicators will be back to normal and all functions will be resumed.
Every time when you turn on the Power of the Strobe, the first Strobe Triggering
Signal from the camera will automatically be learned and saved. The setting on
the Strobe must be under Mode during the Auto Learning. When the Strobe
receives the 1
st
Triggering Signal from the camera, the Right Indicator (Green
Color) and Left Indicator (White Color) will blink alternatively for 1.8 seconds. If
the Triggering Signal has been successfully learned and saved, Right Indicator
(Blue Color) and Left Indicator (White Color) will blink simultaneously for 3
seconds. If a fault Triggering Signal is detected due to the wrong Camera Mode
setting, Right Indicator (Red Color) and Left Indicator (White Color) will show in
Quick Blinking simultaneously. Next Triggering Signal will be used to learn again
until a success one is achieved.

j. Modelling Flash
If shooting under the high ambient light, the LED Light may not be bright enough
for targeting purpose. Press and Hold the Button for 1 second and the strobe
will emit a 2 seconds stroboscopic pulsing. That rapid flashing light will help in
targeting the subject under high ambient light condition.
Modelling Flash feature also works when using the AOI SNT-01 Snoot for UCS-Q1
Series.
i. Strobe Test
In Mode ( Level 1 to Level 6 ), quick press the
Button one time will trigger the Strobe to fire.
If the Left Indicator shows in White Quick Blinking,
the strobe is in Recharging. If the Left Indicator
shows in White Still, the strobe is ready to fire.
Strobe Test can only be used in Mode.
