●
Be careful when touching the product immediately after firing repeatedly or
lighting for a long time. The product may get hot enough to burn you.

●
Do not carry the camera or housing by holding the accessories such as
arm, cable, strobe, etc. Heavy components may fall and cause damage or
injury.

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 waterproofing.

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.
