How do I prevent power saving?
I am using an old Jessops360AFDC with another flash (Vivitar) but after 3 minutes the Jessops turns off, a power saving notion. I don't want it to turn off/power save but there are no instructions on how to disable this feature. Any ideas?
I am powering both flashes off a 6 volt scooter battery.

Yes, thanks for that my friend. I too found this same instruction manual but it only states that there is a power saving facility, it doesn't say how to switch it off. Frankly I doubt that it will let me do so. I think I will have to find another Vivitar.
Strangely enough, I have gone through bags of old camera equipment and found that I have the exact same flashgun. I have tested it today and there are no problems at all with it whatsoever, I upgraded to a Speedlite and have never used the Jessops flash since so it is as good as new even though I bought it second-hand. I don't actually recall any power-saving options, mine stays on until the batteries are flat.
If I switch mine on and leave it for 3 minutes it switches off automatically as per the manual, there is no way around this. Problem solved anyway, I found another Vivitar, same model as I have on eBay and that will fix the job. Thanx all for your help guys.
