1. Safety instructions
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 should be immediately remo-
ved. Chemicals leaking out of spent batteries
will damage the flashgun.
Do not short-circuit batteries! DANGER OF
EXPLOSION!
Batteries should not be exposed to excessive
heat, for instance sunshine, fire and the like!
NEVER throw spent batteries in a fire!
Do not expose the flashgun to dripping or
splashing water!
Protect the flashgun against excessive heat and
high humidity levels! Do not keep the flashgun
in the glove compartment of a car!
In the event of flash shots with full light output
observe an interval of at least 3 minutes after a
series of 20 flashes. This will protect the flash-
gun against overload.
NEVER place material that is impervious to light
in front of, or directly
on, the reflector screen.
The reflector screen must be perfectly clean
when a flash is fired. The high energy of the
flash light will burn the material or damage the
screen if this is not observed!
NEVER dismantle the flashgun! DANGER: HIGH
VOLTAGE! There are
no components inside the
flashgun that can be repaired by a layperson.
Disposal of batteries
Do not dispose of spent batteries with domestic
rubbish.
Please return spent batteries to collecting points
should they exist in your country!
