• For the same reason, you must never expose the device to moisture, such as
drops or splashes of water, nor touch it with wet hands, or try to dismantle,
repair or rebuild it! There are no components inside that can be repaired by
an amateur.
• Only use the batteries named and approved in this manual!
• Batteries must not be short-circuited, or exposed to excessive heat, such as
sunshine, fire, etc.!
• Used batteries must never be thrown in a fire!
• Dry batteries ("primary cells") must not be charged.
Important:
• Protect your flash unit against excess heat and humidity! Do not store your
flash unit in the glove compartment of your car!
• If the temperature changes quickly, condensation may form. Allow the flash
unit to acclimatize!
• When a flash is triggered, no opaque material may be immediately in front of
or directly on the reflector head. It must not be dirty. If this is ignored, the
material or the reflector head may be burned thanks to the high energy of the
flash light.
• In burst mode at full flash output and firing the flash at very short intervals,
the diffusion head heats up considerably at zoom positions of 35mm and less
due to the high light energy. In such cases, make sure to keep a break of at
least 3 minutes after every 20 flashes!
• This flash unit may only be used in conjunction with the flash unit integrated
in the camera if it can be completely extended or retracted!
• Faulty batteries may not be used!
• Alkaline solution can leach out of used batteries, which damages the
contacts. Therefore, always remove them from the unit.
