Safety instructions

• The flash unit is intended and approved only
for photographical use.
• NEVER fire a flash from a very short distance
directly into the eyes of persons or animals.
This can cause damage to the retina and may
even lead to blindness.
• NEVER trigger a flash in the vicinity of
flammable gases or liquids (petrol, solvents,
etc.), since this may cause EXPLOSIONS!
• NEVER shoot flash pictures of car or bus driv-
ers, cyclists or motorcyclists, or train drivers
while the vehicle is moving! This may dazzle
the person concerned and result in an acci-
dent.
• Only use the approved power sources speci-
fied in these operating instructions.
• NEVER attempt to open or short-circuit bat-
teries!
• NEVER expose batteries to excessive temper-
atures such as intensive sunlight or a fire!
• Remove exhausted batteries immediately
from the flash unit. Such batteries may leak,
releasing chemicals which can damage the
flash unit.
• NEVER attempt to recharge dry batteries!
• Do not expose the flash unit to dripping or
splashing water.
• Do not expose your flash unit to high temper-
atures and humidity. Do not keep it in the
glove compartment of your car.

• When taking flash shots at full light output
and in rapid succession observe an interval
of at least 3 minutes after 20 flashes.

light in front of, or directly on the reflector. If
this is not observed, the high energy of the
flash light may cause burning or bleaching of
the material or may damage the reflector.

HIGH VOLTAGE! Repairs must only be com-
pleted by an authorised repair service.
