Preparation
• Insert batteries in the correct orientation.
• Batteries may become hot if the flash is fired multiple times in
quick succession. When removing the batteries, take precaution
to avoid burns.
• Do not short or disassemble batteries or attempt to remove or
otherwise damage the battery insulation or casing.
• Do not expose to flame or excessive heat, immerse in or expose
to water, or subject to physical force.
• Do not transport or store with metal objects such as necklaces
or hairpins.
• Batteries are prone to leakage when fully discharged. To avoid
damage to the product, be sure to remove the batteries when
no charge remains or if the product will not be used for an
extended period.
• Discontinue use immediately should you notice any change in
the batteries, such as discoloration or deformation.
• If liquid from damaged batteries comes in contact with clothing,
eyes or skin, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
• Dispose of used batteries in accord with local regulations. Prior
to disposal, insulate the terminals with tape. Fire, overheating or
rupture may result should metal objects come into contact with
the terminals.
