3.2 Power supply

Suitable batteries/rechargeable batteries
The flash unit can be operated with any of
the following batteries:
• 4 nickel-metal-hydride batteries
1.2V, type IEC HR6 (size AA). They have a
significantly higher capacity than NiCad
batteries and are less harmful to the envi-
ronment, since they have no cadmium.
• 4 alkaline-manganese dry cell batteries
1.5V, type IEC LR6 (size AA). Maintenance-
free power source for moderate power
requirements.
• 4 lithium batteries
1.5V, type IEC FR6 (size AA). Maintenance-
free high-capacity power source with a low
self-discharge rate.
+
Please only use the power sources given
above. If other power sources are used, there
is a risk of damaging the flash unit.
If your flash unit is not going to be used for
an extended period of time, remove the bat-
teries.
Replacing batteries
The disposable/rechargeable batteries are
empty or used up if the recycling time (time
from the triggering of a full-power flash, e.g.
in the M mode, to the moment the
flash-ready indicator lights up again) exceeds
60 seconds. In addition "LOW" appears in
the touch display.
• Switch off the flash unit. To do this, press
the button until all displays turn off.
• Remove the flash unit from the camera and
slide down the battery compartment cover
.
• Insert the batteries and slide the battery
compartment cover back up.
When inserting batteries, ensure that the
polarity is correct and matches the symbols
in the battery compartment. Inserting the
batteries in the wrong direction can destroy
the flash unit! Always replace all batteries
simultaneously, and make sure that batteries
are the same brand and have the same capa-
city. Flat or dead batteries should not be dis-
posed of with ordinary household waste.
Help protect the environment, and dispose of
flat/dead batteries at the appropriate
collection points.
