For Your Safety

•  Always keep this product dry. Do not use in rain or in damp conditions. 

•   This product contains high-voltage electronic parts. Touching the high-voltage circuit inside it may 

result in electric shock. Do not disassemble. Should repairs become necessary, this product must 
be sent to an authorized maintenance center. 

•  Stop using this product if it breaks open due to extrusion, falling or strong hit. Otherwise, electric 

shock may occur if you touch the electronic parts inside it. 

•  Do not use the flash unit in the presence of flammable gases, chemicals and other similar  

materials. In certain circumstances, these materials may be sensitive to the strong light emitting 
from this flash unit and fire or electromagnetic interference that may result.  

•  Do not leave or store the flash unit if the ambient temperature reads over 120°F/50°C   

(e.g. in sun drenched automobile). Otherwise the electronic parts may be damaged. 

• Do not use any power supply other than the included one to charge the battery. 

• Do not insert metal parts into any lighting equipment. 

•  Do not touch the electrical contacts on the strobe or battery or contact them with any conductive 

materials. 

•  Do not fire the flash directly into the eyes (especially those of babies) within short distances. Other-

wise, visual impairment may occur. When taking pictures of babies, keep the flash unit at least 3.3 
feet (1 meter) away from them. Using bounce flash to reduce light intensity is also recommended. 

•  This strobe has an over-heat protection circuit, rapid continuous firing will cause the strobe to slow 

operation and trigger a “cool down” period. After this period, the strobe will resume normal opera-
tion. You may also reboot the strobe by cycling the power off and then on.  

•  The strobe has a locking mechanism to ensure secure operation. To avoid damage, slide the release 

before removing any reflectors or accessories.  

•  In case of abnormal function, sparks, excessive heat, flames or smoke, immediately power off the 

unit and disconnect the battery if safely possible. Have it checked by an authorized technician.
