Safety Instructions

  

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 impact or force. Electric shock 

may occur if you touch the internal parts. 

  

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

ignitable materials. In certain circumstances, these materials may be sensitive 

to the strong light or electromagnetic interference emitted from this flash unit. 

  

Do not leave or store the flash unit if the ambient temperature reaches over 

120°F/50°C (e.g. in a sun bathed automobile). Electronic parts may be 

permanently damaged. 

  

Do not use any power supply to charge the battery, other than the one 

included. 

  

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. 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 operation. You may also reset the strobe 

by cycling the power off and then on again. 

  

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.
