The A1L led is read in reverse from your standard ready light. When the
led goes out quickly, that means the batteries are good. When it stays on
longer, batteries are weak. CBINMTBDAH (changing battery is not meant to be
done at home) ;-)

Subject: [OM] A1L Flash Unit
| DearJohn:
|
| Would you know how to check the battery condition of an A1L quick recycle
| flash as used on an XA 4? I just bought this set from EBay.
|
| The flash fires (seems ok) but don't have a flash meter to compare.
| All I see is that the red LED lights up for a brief moment right after the
| unit is turned on, then dies out. This happens also after each time the
| flash is used.
|
| What type of battery is used in this? i cannot see any user acccessible
| battery compartment. In this case,knowing that this flash unit is quite
old,
| how long was the battery designed to last?
|
| Regards
|
