1. Safety instructions
• The flashgun is intended and approved only for photo-
graphical use.
• NEVER fire a flash from a very short distance directly into
the eyes of persons or animals! This can cause damage
to the retina and may even lead to blindness!
• NEVER trigger a flash in the vicinity of flammable gases
or liquids (petrol, solvents, etc.), since this may cause
EXPLOSIONS!
• NEVER shoot flash pictures of car or bus drivers, cyclists
or motorcyclists, or train drivers while the vehicle is
moving! This may dazzle the person concerned and
result in an accident.
• Only use the approved power sources specified in these
operating instructions.
• NEVER attempt to open or short-circuit batteries.
• NEVER expose dry or rechargeable batteries to excessive
temperatures such as intensive sunlight or a fire!
• Remove exhausted batteries immediately from the flash-
gun! Such batteries may leak, releasing chemicals which
can damage the flash unit.
• NEVER attempt to recharge dry batteries!
• Do not expose the flashgun and charger to dripping or
splashing water.
• Do not expose the flashgun to high temperatures and
humidity! Do not keep it in the glove compartment of
your car!
• Do not touch the diffuser after firing several flashes at
short intervals. Danger of burns!
• When taking flash shots at full light output observe an
interval of at least 3 minutes after 20 flashes.
• Never place material that is impervious to light in front
of, or directly on the reflector. The reflector must be per-
fectly clean when a flash is fired. If this is not observed,
the high energy of the flash light may cause burning or
bleaching of the material or may damage the reflector!
• NEVER dismantle the flashgun! DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE!
Repairs must only be completed by an authorised repair
service.
• Do not touch the contacts of the flashgun.
• The flash unit must not be used if the case has been so
badly damaged that internal components are exposed.
Remove the batteries!
