If the flash unit is dropped and damaged, do not touch 4.
any exposed interior metal parts. Such parts, especially
the Speedlight’s capacitor and associated parts, could be in a
high-charge state and if touched could cause an electric shock.
Disconnect the power or remove the batteries and be sure that you
do not touch any of the product’s electrical components, and then
bring the flash unit to your local Nikon dealer or authorized service
center for repair.
If you detect heat, smoke or notice a burning smell, 5.
immediately stop operation and remove the batteries to
prevent the unit from catching on fire or melting. Allow the flash
unit to cool down so that you can safely touch it and remove
the batteries. Then bring the unit to your local Nikon dealer or
authorized service center for repair.
The flash unit should never be submerged in liquid or 6.
exposed to rain, saltwater or moisture unless it is properly
protected from the liquids and moisture. Underwater use
requires a certified underwater housing.
If water or moisture
gets inside the unit, this could cause the unit to catch on fire or
cause an electric shock. In such instances you should immediately
remove the batteries from the Speedlight and then bring the unit
to your local Nikon dealer or authorized service center for repair.
Note: electronic devices that are penetrated by water or moisture
are often not economically repairable.
Do not use the unit in the presence of flammable or 7.
explosive gas. If the flash unit is operated in areas where there
is a flammable gas, including propane, gasoline and dust, it could
cause an explosion or fire.
