ABOUT THE BATTERY 

This flash unit uses four “AA” type Alkaline dry cell batteries, Ni-Cad or 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. 

 

Ni-Cad or Ni-MH batteries do not have standardized contacts. If you use Ni-Cad or Ni-MH 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-Cad 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. 

 

BATTERY LOADING 

1. 

Be sure to set the Power Switch to the off position 
then slide the battery cover in the direction of the 
arrow to open. 

2. 

Insert four AA size batteries into the battery 
chamber. Be sure the + and – ends of the batteries 
are aligned according to the diagram in the chamber. 

3. 

Close the cover. 

4. 

Slide the Power Switch to the ON position. After few 
seconds the Ready Lamp will light, indicating that 
the flash unit can be fired.
