10. Care and maintenance

Remove dust and grime with a soft dry cloth, or a sili-
cone-treated cloth. Do not use detergents as these
may damage the plastic parts.
Forming the flash capacitor
The flash capacitor incorporated in the flashgun
undergoes a physical change when the flashgun is
not switched on for prolonged periods. For this
reason it is necessary to switch on the flashgun for
approx. 10 minutes every 3 months. The battery
must supply sufficient power to light up the flash-
ready light within one minute after the flashgun was
switched on.
Malfunctions and damage caused to the meca-
blitz due to the use of accessories from other
manufacturers

rantee!
