2.2.2 Replacing batteries (Fig. 1)
The batteries are exhausted if the recycling time
(elapsing from the triggering of a full-power flash,
e.g. in the M mode, to the moment the flash ready
indicator lights up again) exceeds 60 seconds.
1
Turn off the mecablitz by its main switch.
2
Slide the battery compartment cover in the
direction of the arrow and fold open.
• Insert the batteries lengthwise in conformity with
the indicated battery symbols and close the bat-
tery compartment cover.
When loading batteries ensure correct pola-
rity, as indicated by the symbols in the bat-
tery compartment. Mixed up battery poles
may destroy the flash unit!
Replace all batteries at a time and make
sure that the batteries are of the same brand
and type and have the same capacity!
Exhausted batteries must not be thrown in
the dustbin! Help protect the environment
and dispose of exhausted batteries at the
appropriate collecting points.
2.3 Switching the flash unit on and off
The flash unit is switched on with the main switch
on the battery compartment cover. In the upper
“ON” position, the mecablitz is on.
To turn off the flash unit push the main switch
down to its bottom position (Fig. 2).
If your mecablitz is not going to be used for
an extended period of time, we recom-
mend to switch it off with the main switch
and to remove the power sources (batte-
ries).
2.4 Automatic switch-off function /
Auto-OFF (Fig. 3)
To save battery power and prevent inadvertent
battery discharge, the mecablitz is factory-set to
automatically switch-over to standby mode (Auto-
OFF), while flash readiness indication and the LC
display are simultaneously switched off, approx.
3 minutes after:
• Switch-on
• Firing a flash
• Touching the shutter release
• Switching off the camera’s exposure metering
system
