Focal DT-700s Zoom flash


I just bought a used flash and a synchro-Shoe (slave adapter). The flash and the slave adapter work fine together, but I'd like to find some documentation on the flash itself. There are a lot of settings on the back that you can choose from...but I'm not sure how all of them work together (I'm new at this). Any ideas on how I can find more info on this flash? The front of it says

FOCAL DT-700S Zoom
Multi-Dedicated
Automatic Thyristor
Electronic Flash
20-01-28.

Thx for any help you can give me.

  I've had one of those units for more years than I care to remember. However, I can't lay my hands on the instruction sheet. What I can remember is that the series of letters along the bottom of the back of the flash (O N M C P S) refer to camera makes. Setting this switch allowed you to synch the flash to your particular camera's hot shoe if it had extra contacts. I know for sure that C was for Canon. I would think that the letters referred to Olympus, Nikon, Minolta, Canon, and Pentax. I'm not sure what the S stands for.

The trigger voltage appears to be between 9 and 10 V.
