1. Safety instructions
22
Never fire a flash in the immediate vicinity of
the eyes!
Flash fired directly in front of the eyes of a
person or animal can damage the retina and
lead to severe visual disorders, even
blindness!
Spent batteries must be immediately taken
out of the flashgun!
Lye can leak out of spent batteries and damage
the flash unit.
Never recharge dry-cell batteries (e.g. alkaline)!
Do not short-circuit rechargeable batteries.
Protect dry/rechargeable batteries against
excessive heat such as sunlight, fire and the
like!
Never throw spent batteries into a fire!
Do not expose the flashgun to dripping or
splashing water!
Protect the flashgun against excessive heat
and high humidity levels! Do not store the
flashgun in the glove compartment of a car!
Insert the flashgun in the camera’s accessory
shoe and clamp firmly with the knurled nut so
that it cannot slip out!
To avoid overheating, a series of 20 flashes at
full light output and short recycling times with
a NiCad battery must be followed by a break
of at least 3 minutes.
Never place material that is impervious to
light in front of, or directly on, the diffuser. The
diffuser must be perfectly clean when a flash
is fired. The high energy of the flash light will
burn the material or damage the diffuser if
this is not observed!
