4.6 Powering the Trio 
Before turning on any power to Trio always make all electrical 
connections first, both to the camera and to the power pack. 
The Trio is powered by any Quantum Turbo Battery including Turbo, 
Turbo 2x2, Turbo Compact, Turbo SC, Turbo AC and Turbo Z. 
Plug the Trio power cable into the flash, then into the output connection 
of the power pack. 
If a “Check Turbo” message appears on the Trio display, turn off the 
Turbo, wait one second, and turn it on again. If the message appears 
again, the power pack needs recharging.

Very Important Tips 
For consistent exposures with your digital camera and Trio. 
● Always do a custom white balance before shooting 
● When shooting TTL use Aperture or Shutter priority or 
Manual camera modes (P mode gives inconsistent exposures) 
● Set your metering area to center weight, partial metering 
instead of matrix or multi-spot metering.
