Avoid strong shocks / impacts or excess stress to prevent malfunction, 
damage or breakdown. Make sure that the product has been securely 
mounted to other products in order to prevent injury, fall or missing. 
Do not rest heavy weight on the product. It might deform the outer casing, 
damage internal parts, make the waterproofing fail, or result in fire or electric 
shock.
Make sure that the connectors have been secured with the connector caps 
before rinsing the product with fresh water, after removal from other products. 
Never use chemicals, cosmetics, any petroleum solvents such as paint 
thinner, or neutral detergent on the product. They may deform and damage 
the product.
Do not leave the product in places with hot temperatures such as inside of a 
car or in a car trunk in summer. The heat may deform plastic parts of the 
product, damaging internal parts and resulting in potential fire or electric 
shock. If the product is sealed tight in hot conditions, heated air expanding 
inside the product may deform the casing and ruin the watertightness.
Do not store the product in wet or high humidity place, to avoid mold, rust, 
corrosion or malfunction.
If you do not use the product for an extended period of time, periodic 
maintenance will keep internal electronic parts from deterioration. Once a 
month, install batteries and fire a test flash / light on. Operate all other 
switches as you would in normal operation. Turn the power off, then remove 
batteries while the Ready lamp (red) is on for the strobe.
