CAUTION! Please note the following important hints before fi rst use:
1. For initial use and/or after storage of up to 1 year and longer, please do not release
more than 3 flashes per minute for the first approx. 30 flash releases!
2. Not suitable for flash sequences of 10 or more releases in quick succession. After
flash sequences, cool down the studio flash for at least 2 minutes in order to avoid
damages to the flash condenser.
3. The modelling light is only designed to illuminate the object while the camera set-
tings are made. It is not suited as a permanent light since it produces high tempera-
tures which can harm flash accessories. In combination with conical snoots, soft-
boxes, honey combs or other flash accessories the modelling light must not be used
for more than 10 minutes.
