You don't need a Manual.
In 285 HV there is only one Power on/off switch.
If that switch is on and batteries are new Alkaline (like duracell-no chepo )or fully charged and working rechargebles,and yet the ready light do not come the flash has defect inside.For sure.
Cell polarity must be ok,obviously
I guess they could find a Vivitar service manual. Send them a request.
Please leave a good rating.
