ABOUT THE BATTERY
This flash unit uses four “AA” type Alkaline dry cell batteries or Ni-Cad, Ni-MH, rechargeable batteries.
Manganese batteries can also be used but as they have a shorter life than Alkaline batteries, we do not
recommend using them. Please replace batteries if it takes more than 30seconds to light the Ready Lamp.
ۋ To assure proper electrical contact, clean the battery terminals before installing the batteries
ۋ NiCad batteries do not have standardized contacts. If you use NiCad batteries, please confirm that the
battery contacts touch the battery compartment properly.
ۋ To prevent battery explosion, leakage or overheating, use four new AA batteries of the same type and
brand. Do not mix the type or new and used batteries.
ۋ Do not disassemble or short-circuit batteries, or expose them fire or water; they may explode. Also, do
not recharge the batteries other than Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries.
ۋ When the flash will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the flash, to
avoid the possibility of damage from leakage.
ۋ
Battery performance decreases at low temperatures. Keep batteries insulated when using the flash in cold weather.
ۋ As with any flash, it is recommended you carry spare batteries when on a long trip, or when
photographing outdoors in cold weather.
