ABOUT THE BATTERY
This flash unit uses four “AA” type Alkaline dry cell batteries or Ni-Cad, Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.
Manganese batteries can also be used but as they have a shorter life than Alkaline batteries, we do not
recommend using them. Please replace batteries if it takes more than 30seconds to light the Ready Lamp.
◆
To assure proper electrical contact, clean the battery terminals before installing the batteries.
◆
NiCad batteries do not have standardized contacts. If you use NiCad batteries, please confirm that the battery
contacts touch the battery compartment properly.
◆
To prevent battery explosion, leakage or overheating, use four new AA batteries of the same type and brand.
Do not mix the type or new and used batteries.
◆
Do not disassemble or short-circuit the batteries, or expose them fire or water; they may explode. Do not
recharge the batteries other than Ni-Cd or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.
◆
When the flash will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the flash to avoid
the possibility of damage from leakage.
◆
Battery performance decreases at low temperatures. Keep batteries insulated when using the flash in cold weather.
◆
As with any flash, it is recommended you carry spare batteries when on a long trip or when photographing
outdoors in cold weather.
