■ Rechargeable AA Ni-MH Batteries
The capacity of Ni-MH batteries may be temporarily reduced when new, after long
periods of disuse, or if they are repeatedly recharged before being fully discharged.
This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
The fl ash draws a small amount of current even when off . Ni-MH batteries that
have been left in the fl ash for an extended period may be drawn down to the point
that they no longer hold a charge. Batteries that no longer hold a charge even
after repeatedly being discharged and recharged have reached the end of their
service life and must be replaced.
Ni-MH batteries can be recharged in a battery charger (sold separately). Batteries
may become warm to the touch after charging. Refer to the instructions provided
with the charger for more information. Use the charger with compatible batter-
ies only.
Ni-MH batteries gradually lose their charge when not in use.
■ Disposal
Dispose of used batteries in accord with local regulations.
Caring for the Flash
To ensure continued enjoyment of the product, observe the following precau-
tions.
Storage and Use
Storage and Use
If the fl ash will not be used for an extended period, remove batteries. Do not store
or use the fl ash in locations that are:
• exposed to rain, steam, or smoke
• very humid or extremely dusty
• exposed to direct sunlight or very high temperatures, such as in a closed vehicle
on a sunny day
• extremely cold
• subject to strong vibration
• exposed to strong magnetic fi elds, such as near a broadcasting antenna, power
line, radar emitter, motor, transformer, or magnet
• in contact with volatile chemicals such as pesticides
• next to rubber or vinyl products
■ Water and Sand
Exposure to water and sand can also damage the fl ash and its internal circuitry and
mechanisms. When using the fl ash at the beach or seaside, avoid exposing the
fl ash to water or sand. Do not place the fl ash on a wet surface.
■ Condensation
Sudden increases in temperature, such as occur when entering a heated building
on a cold day, can cause condensation inside the fl ash. If this occurs, turn the fl ash
off and wait for droplets to evaporate.
Cleaning
Cleaning
Use a blower to remove dust from the light-emitting section or other parts of the
fl ash, then gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Any remaining stains can be removed
by wiping gently with a piece of FUJIFILM lens-cleaning paper to which a small
amount of lens-cleaning fl uid has been applied. Care should be taken to avoid
scratching any parts of fl ash, particularly the light-emitting section. The body of
fl ash can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth.
