SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
The flash gun is designed, and only approved, for photographic use.
•
The device may under no circumstances be used in the vicinity of inflammable
gases or liquids. RISK OF EXPLOSION!
•
Never trigger a flash in the immediate vicinity of the eyes! Triggering the flash
directly in front of the eyes of people or animals may cause damage to the retina
and serious sight impairment or blindness.
•
Only use the supplied charger, which is specially designed for compatibility with the
accumulators used in the flash gun.
•
Do not expose the accumulators to excessive heat such as sunlight, fire or similar
heat sources.
•
No opaque material may be positioned immediately before, or directly on, the dome
port when triggering the flash. The high energy level of the flash could cause the
material to burn or deformation of the dome port.
•
Do not dismantle the flash gun. HIGH VOLTAGE! HAZARDOUS TO LIFE! The body
does not contain any parts that can be repaired by untrained technicians.
•
Do not open the flash gun. There is a risk of leakage if the device is reassembled
incorrectly. The electronics will be destroyed immediately if salt water penetrates
into the housing.
•
There is a risk of overloading the electronics and the accumulator when taking
consequential pictures with the flash. Take a break after using the flash approx. 20
times.
•
As a consumer, you are legally obliged to return used accumulators. We will dispose
of your flash gun free of charge.
IMPORTANT NOTES FOR
ENJOYING UNIMPAIRED USE OF YOUR FLASH GUN ON YOUR UNDERWATER
HOLIDAYS
•
Test the device in good time (6 weeks) before going on holiday.
•
Check the cable.
•
A spare cable has saved many a photography holiday.
•
Pack the device in your hand luggage.
•
Wrap the cable in a towel.
•
Check the flash arm. Lightly lubricate the grip levers.
•
Regularly rinse the device in fresh water.
•
When you return from holiday, take the device into an indoor pool to dissolve any
residual salt crystals under pressure.
•
When you have been using the device for a few years, treat it to a check-up at
subtronic as the O-rings will not live forever, and at some point the accumulator will
give up the ghost, as well.
