WARNINGS for Speedlite
Never attempt to disassemble or repair the flash unit by yourself, as this could result in you receiving an
electric shock and could also cause the unit to malfunction; such malfunction could lead to personal injury.
If the flash unit is dropped and damaged, do not touch any exposed interior metal parts. Such parts,
especially the Speedlite’s capacitor and associated parts, could be in a high-charge state and if touched
could cause an electric shock. Disconnect the power or remove the batteries and be sure that you do not
touch any of the product’s electrical components, and then bring the flash unit to your local Clellan dealer or
authorized service center for repair.
If you detect heat, smoke or notice a burning smell, immediately stop operation and remove the batteries to
prevent the unit from catching on fire or melting. Allow the flash unit to cool down so that you can safely
touch it and remove the batteries. Then bring the unit to your local Clellan dealer or authorized service
center for repair.
The flash unit should never be submerged in liquid or exposed to rain, saltwater or moisture unless it is
properly protected from the liquids and moisture. Underwater use requires a certified underwater housing. If
water or moisture gets inside the unit, this could cause the unit to catch on fire or cause an electric shock.
In such instances you should immediately remove the batteries from the Speedlite and then bring the unit to
your local Clellan dealer or authorized service center for repair.
Do not fire the flash unit directly at the driver of a moving car, as this could temporarily impair the driver’s
vision and cause an accident.
Do not fire the flash unit directly into the eyes of someone that is at close range, as it could damage the
retinas of their eyes. Never fire the flash unit closer than 1 meter from infants.
Do not fire the unit while the flash head is touching a person or object. Such use can result in the person
being burned, and/or their clothes igniting from the heat of the flash’s firing.
Keep small accessories out of the reach of children to avoid the possibility of the accessory being
swallowed. If an accessory is accidentally swallowed, immediately consult with a
doctor.
Use only the batteries specified in this user’s manual. Batteries other than those specified could leak
corrosive liquids, explode or catch on fire or otherwise not perform satisfactorily.
Do not mix battery types, brands or old and new batteries, as the batteries could leak corrosive liquids,
explode or catch on fire. When using more than one battery in a product, always use identical batteries that
were purchased at the same time.
Non-rechargeable batteries such as manganese, alkaline-manganese and lithium batteries should never be
charged in a battery charger because they could leak corrosive liquids, explode or catch on fire.
