WARNING! Do not use adapters on the power cord to connect to power lines / outlets of incompatible
voltages. This can damage the unit. For use in international locations, see page 21.
WARNING! The faceplate can get very hot during use. While in use, the unit’s faceplate, ashtube(s),
modeling lamp(s) and faceplate accessories (such as reectors, grids and umbrella poles) can get very
hot to the touch, remaining hot even after the unit has been powered down. Heat is intensied when
the unit is used in down-angle positions and/or when used with accessories that trap heat
(such as closed softboxes). Disconnect the unit from its power source and allow ample time
for the equipment to cool down before touching any component or any accessories.
1. Always mount the ash unit on a light stand during use. Before attempting to operate the ash
unit, make sure that it is securely mounted to a light stand. We offer various light stands in
assorted sizes - visit our website to learn more (www.paulcbuff.com). The stand mount is
compatible with most standard light stands having top couplers up to 5/8-inch in size.
2. Remove the shipping cover before use. Remove the front black cover before turning the unit on.
3. Do not touch the ashtube or modeling lamp with your bare hands. When replacing the ashtube
or modeling lamp, never touch a tube or lamp with your bare ngers. Always turn the unit off,
unplug it from its AC power source, allow it to cool, and use a clean cloth or insulating gloves
to remove or replace a tube and/or lamp. Do not allow your nger oils to contact the lamps
as this can cause excess heat buildup and may cause premature ashtube or lamp failure.
4. Only use approved ashtubes and modeling lamps. The Einstein™ unit should only be used with
the original ashtube and modeling lamp or an approved replacement tube or lamp. Please
see our website (www.paulcbuff.com) to nd replacement ashtubes and modeling lamps.
5. Use care when traveling with or transporting your ash unit. Always use the shipping cover
provided to protect the ashtube, modeling lamp, and frosted dome cover. Use appropriate
packaging to protect the unit against bumps and jolts that may damage the components.
6. When not in use, Paul C. Buff™ Flash Units should be stored in moderate climate conditions between
32ºF and 140ºF (0ºC and 40ºC), protected from water, dirt, sand and dust. Modern elec-
trolytic capacitors normally have a long shelf life. However, if there is no charge applied for
long periods of time, they are more likely to have increased leakage current. This means the
capacitors may become warmer than normal until they stabilize, and the charge voltage may
sag more quickly during use, causing the units to recycle more frequently after ring. If you
need to store the unit for long periods of time (one year +), it is a good idea to occasionally
turn the units on at their lowest power setting, and slowly increase the power setting over a
period of 60 to 90 seconds while ring the unit using the TEST button after each increase.
