Fantasea Nano Flash Instruction Manual 26110120

 

can be used to absorb part of the light when 
the flash is too powerful, even when set to the 
lowest output. In order to install any of the 
flash diffusers, first install the Diffuser Holder 
on the flash housing by simply clicking it in. 
Then slide any of the diffusers through the slot 
found at the top of the Diffuser Holder (image 
#13). It is recommended to secure both the 
Diffuser Holder and the flash diffusers to the 
flash by secure strings.

When the Nano Flash is not in use, it is best to 

turn it off in order to prevent exhaustion of the 
batteries.

Care & Maintenance 

The Nano Flash requires only a minimum amount of care for reliable 
performance. The following tips will enable you to get the best results. 

i.

 

Submerge the flash in fresh water for about 20 minutes after every dive in 
order to dissolve the salt water crystals from around the controls and 
openings of the flash. Manipulate each of the movable controls to assist the 
removal of salt particles from these tight areas.

 

ii.

 

Allow the flash to dry thoroughly before packing it away for the day or for 
the trip home. You may use a soft towel or cloth to dry the flash. Be sure 
there is no grease or other debris on the towel.

 

iii.

 

Visually check the condition of the O-ring before every dive. If it is dirty, 
clean it with fresh water and dry it with a soft cloth as described above. If it 
is damaged in any way, such as cut or perforated, replace it immediately.

 

iv.

 

It is recommended to slightly lubricate the O-ring periodically. It's important 
to note that the amount of lubrication required on the O-ring is only enough 
to allow it to slip into place without friction, so it does not twist or become 
dislodged. More grease is not necessarily better, and in some cases might 
interfere with the watertight seal of the flash.

 

v.

 

Do not drop the flash on hard surfaces. It is not a shock absorber, and could 
crack, affecting its watertight integrity. It could also cause damage to the 
electronic components inside.

 

vi.

 

When travelling, remove batteries, leave back the door loose or 
unassembled and pack the unit in a protected fashion in a padded case or 
bag. 

 

vii.

 

Never dive with the Nano Flash to a depth greater than 60 meters/200 feet.

 

viii.

 

Never store the flash or housing in high temperatures (above 60C/140F 
degrees).
