Страница: 28 / 192

For safety, charging in low temperatures (5–10°C/41–50°F) takes longer (up to approx.
4 hr.).
The Speedlite does not come pre-charged.
Charge before use.
Charge on the day of use, or the day before.
Batteries gradually lose their charge while in storage.
After charging the battery, remove it and unplug the charger.
The protective cover can be attached facing certain directions to indicate charged
or depleted status.
Depending on the direction that you attach the cover, different colors are visible through
the window (<
>). By deciding the colors to use for charged and depleted batteries
and attaching the cover accordingly, you can see the battery status at a glance.
When the Speedlite is not in use, remove the battery.
If the battery is left in the Speedlite over extended periods, the trace amount of current
that continues to flow may lead to over-discharge and reduce the life of the battery.
Store the battery with the protective cover attached. Note that storing the battery when it
is fully charged may reduce its performance.
The battery charger can also be used in other countries.
The charger is compatible with 100–240 V AC 50/60 Hz household power. If necessary,
attach a commercially available plug adapter for the country or region. To avoid
damage, do not connect to portable voltage transformers.
Batteries that lose their charge quickly despite being fully charged may need to
be replaced.
Check battery recharge performance before purchasing a new one.
Caution
After unplugging the charger, do not touch the prongs for approx. 10 sec.
Batteries are not charged unless the remaining capacity is lower than approx. 90%.
