2. Preparing the mecablitz for use
When loading the batteries ensure correct
polarity. Incorrectly loaded batteries can dest-
roy the flashgun! All batteries must be of the
same make and have the same charge level.
Exhausted batteries must not be thrown into
the dustbin! Contribute to the protection of
the environment and discard exhausted bat-
teries at the appropriate disposal points.
2.3 Automatic flashgun switch-off
To avoid accidental battery discharge the flashgun
automatically switches itself off to save power
approximately 8 minutes after
- the flashgun was switched on
- the last flash was fired
- tripping the camera release, or
- switching on the camera light metering system.
The green flash-ready indicator is turned off.
To turn on the mecablitz again switch the main
switch OFF and then ON. The flashgun should
always be turned off if it is not being used.
2.4 Mounting/Removing the flashgun

ting shoe.
