switch the unit on for approximately 10 minutes at least once every three
months. The power supplied by the power source must be sufficient to cause the
flash readiness indicator to light up no more than one minute after the flash unit
is switched on.

23. Troubleshooting

Should the flash unit fail to function properly or meaningless content
appear on the flash unit display panel, switch the flash unit off with the
main switch
for approximately 10 seconds. Check the camera settings
and make sure the foot of the flash unit is mounted correctly in the
camera's accessory shoe.
Replace the batteries with new or freshly charged batteries.
The flash unit should function normally again once it is switched back on. If this
is not the case, contact your local dealer.
Below is a list of some of the problems that may occur when the flash unit is
used. For each item, possible causes and remedies for the problem are listed.
No maximum flash range indication appears on the display panel.
• The main reflector is not in normal position.
• The flash unit has been set to remote operation.
TILT" appears on the display
• The main reflector is tilted downwards for close-up or macro shots.
"POWERPACK" appears on the display
• An unauthorised power pack has been connected to the mecablitz. Use only a
Metz Power Pack P76.
• A Metz Power Pack P76 is connected and there are still batteries in the bat-
tery compartment of the mecablitz. Remove the batteries from the mecablitz.
A battery warning appears on the display
• When the battery warning appears on the display there is still enough power
left for a few more flashes. See also chapter 3.2 "Replacing batteries". There
are, however, battery batches with which the battery warning appears relati-
vely early, even though there may still be up to 50 % of the flashes still availa-
ble. In wireless remote mode it is not possible to provide a battery warning for
system-related reasons.
A battery symbol appears on the display
• There is a Metz Power Pack P76 connected to the mecablitz and there are
batteries in the battery compartment of the mecablitz. Remove batteries from
the mecablitz.

• The flash unit is not ready for firing.
• The camera is not in Single AF mode (S-AF).
• The camera supports only its own internal AF measuring beam.
• Some cameras support the AF measuring beam in the flash unit only with the
camera's central AF sensor. If a peripheral AF sensor is selected, then the AF
measuring beam will not be activated in the flash unit. Activate the central AF
sensor.
The reflector position is not automatically adjusted to the current zoom posi-
tion of the lens.
• The camera is not transmitting any digital data to the flash unit (Group A
