Paul C. Buff Flash Units are designed for professional photography use. As with all electronic equipment, 
users must observe all warnings and safety precautions. Carefully read all operating instructions and safety instructions 
before use.

WARNING! HIGH VOLTAGE!

 Flash units contain internal components that can store dangerously high voltages, even 

when the units are unplugged. Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat (i.e. direct sunlight, open flame, etc.)

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Do not operate a flash unit on or around flammable materials. 
Keep the unit away from fire, flames, and heated surfaces.

Do not insert any foreign objects into any ventilation holes. Do not carry or store a flash unit together with necklaces, 
hair pins, nails, paper clips, or any other small metal objects.

Do not cover the unit during operation. Air circulation must be permitted. Do not obstruct ventilation holes by covering 
the unit while in use or by operating from inside a carrying bag.

Do not operate or store a flash unit in or around water. High voltage equipment can cause electric shock when operated 
in or near water. Your flash unit should only be used in dry, moderate conditions where the equipment is protected from 
rain, dirt, sand and dust.

Do not use ungrounded power cords, power outlets or power strips. Paul C. Buff, Inc. Flash Units may only be 
connected to 3-wire grounded AC outlets to avoid shock hazard. Do not connect the unit to an ungrounded outlet or to 
a two-wire extension cord or adapter that eliminates the ground prong. Do not use any cords that have been damaged.

Paul C. Buff, Inc. flash units contain no user-serviceable parts. 

Never open, disassemble, or attempt to repair any components. Only qualified technicians should service the system 
as incorrect disassembly can create an electric shock hazard. Fingers and other foreign objects must never be inserted 
or dropped inside any of the vents. If the unit has been dropped or damaged, discontinue use and contact customer 
service. Do not attempt to make any changes or modifications as any modifications made, outside of those performed 
or approved by Paul C. Buff, Inc., may present hazardous conditions and void the warranty. The only user-replaceable 
components are the flashtube, cover, and stand mount.

NOTE - RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY

 

The LINK 800WS Flash Unit features a built-in CyberSync transceiver. This unit makes use of the radio spectrum 
and emits radio frequency energy. Interference can be a factor, as the frequency used is shared with other users 
and electronics. Please adhere to local regulations when using this device.
