2 |Introduction
Thank you for choosing Bolt.

6 |Charging the Cyclone DR
Charging the Cyclone DR
The Cyclone DR comes with the PP-5800BP battery pack. It’s also compatible with Bolt’s PP-400BP
battery pack.
To charge your Cyclone DR with the included charger:
1. Plug the charger unit into an AC outlet.
2. Plug the charging cable into the battery’s charging port.
3. The charger indicator turns red when the battery is charging.
4. When the battery charger turns green the battery is full charged.
Tip:
If you own PP-5800BP or PP-400BP batteries, you can remove one battery from the power pack and charge it
using the AC charger while using the second battery to power the Cyclone DR.
Charging the Cyclone DR |7
To get the maximum capacity from your Cyclone DR:
Charge your Cyclone DR shortly before use to ensure that the pack retains the maximum charge. Charge your
Cyclone DR at a moderate room temperature, and avoid storing it in hot or cold environments between charging
and use.
Note: When charging the pack outside of the United States, plug adapters (available separately) may be used
to plug the charger into any 100-240 V AC power outlet.
Reading the indicator lights while charging:
The Status LED remains o during charging. The AC charger’s indicator light will be red during charging. When
the battery is fully charged, its light will turn green.
To check the battery level while the unit is charging, press the power button. The battery level will be displayed
on the LED battery level indicator for approximately two seconds.
8 |Charging the Cyclone DR
Checking the Cyclone DR’s charge level:
When the Cyclone DR is not charging and is not connected to a flash unit, its level of charge can be checked by
pressing the power button. The battery LEDs will illuminate to indicate the level of charge, as follows:
Battery LED 1 on: 25% or lower charge level
Battery LEDs 1-2 on: 25%-50% charge level
Battery LEDs 1-3 on: 50%-75% charge level
Battery LEDs 1-4 on: 75% or higher charge level
When Battery LED 1 is blinking, the Cyclone DR will disable power output—the battery needs immediate
charging before it can operate again.
If the Cyclone DR is in use continuously for 12 hours, its automatic power-o function will cause it to power o
automatically.
Connecting the Cyclone DR |9
Connecting Your Bolt Cyclone DR Power Pack to Your Flash
You can use the Cyclone DR to power a wide range of flash units. Cables sold by some flash and battery pack
manufacturers are interchangeable with Bolt cables, but other flash brands use a dierent connector type.
Make sure you select the right one.
Important! Load your flash unit with its standard batteries before connecting
it to the Cyclone DR. You may need to set your flash unit to recycle by drawing
power from only the Cyclone DR to avoid draining the installed batteries. Check
your flash unit’s manual for details on the relevant setting.
To connect your Cyclone DR to your flash unit:
1. Plug the metal connector of the connection cable firmly into one of the
output sockets of the Cyclone DR.
2. If using a cable with a locking mechanism, rotate the locking collar on the
terminal to secure the cable.

1. Press the power button until the Status and battery LEDs turn
o.
2. If you’re using a cable with a locking mechanism, rotate the
locking collar to the unlocked position.
