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 internal 

shifting, falling or strong impact. STRONG electric shock 

may occur if you touch the components inside it. 

   Do not fire the flash directly into the eyes (especially 

those of babies and pets) within short distances. Visual 

impairment may occur. When taking pictures for babies, 

keep the flash unit at least 1 meter (3.3 feet) away  

from them. 

   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 may 

result. 

   Do not leave or store the unit if the ambient temperature 

is over 122°F /50°C (e.g. in automobile in the sun). The 

electronic parts may be damaged.

   Do not insert metal parts into any lighting equipment.

   Do not touch the electrical contacts on the flash or battery 

or contact them with any conductive materials

   This flash has an over-heat protection circuit, rapid con-

tinuous firing will cause the flash to slow operation and 

trigger a “cool down” period. After this period, the flash 

will resume normal operation. You may also reboot the 

flash by cycling the power off and then on.

   Do not use the flash to support other equipment. For 

example, do not lift your camera by the flash.

   The flash has a locking pin to ensure secure operation. 

To avoid damage, completely unscrew the locking ring 

before removing the flash.

   The battery should slide smoothly into the flash. If they 

do not, remove them, check alignment, and check for 

obstructions. Do not force the batteries into place.

   Store the flash with the batteries removed. Keeping 

them inside can lead to battery cell leakage, voiding the 

warranty.

   In case of abnormal function, sparks, excessive heat, 

flames or smoke, immediately power off the unit and 

remove the batteries if possible. Have it checked  

by an authorized technician.
