CAUTIONS
BATTERY CAUTIONS
The operating temperature or storage conditions of alkaline batteries may cause
the flash low-battery indicator to blink even when the battery has sufficient
power. With continued use, the low-battery indicator will disappear and battery
performance will improve. If the blinking low-battery indicator still appears, replace
the batteries.
Lithium batteries may become hot due to high temperature or successive use. This
could trigger the battery’s internal thermal safety switch shutting off the circuit and
terminating flash charging. Wait until the batteries become cold before using this
unit and the flash again.
The chart below shows performance data when using new batteries in our standard
test environment. Battery performance may decrease at low temperatures. Therefore
it is advisable to have a spare set of batteries.
Remove the batteries when storing this unit for an extended period of time.
