Cleaning
• Use a blower brush to remove dirt and dust from the SB-600 and clean it with a soft,
clean cloth. After using the SB-600 near saltwater, wipe the flash unit with a soft, clean
cloth moistened slightly with plain water to remove the salt, then dry it using a dry cloth.
• On rare occasions, the LCD may turn on or turn dark, due to static electricity. This is not
a malfunction. The display will soon return to normal.
• Do not drop the SB-600 or hit it against a hard surface, as this may damage its precision
mechanisms. Do not apply strong pressure to the LCD panel.

Storage
• Store the SB-600 in a cool, dry place to prevent malfunctions due to high humidity, as
well as the growth of mold or mildew.
• Keep the SB-600 away from chemicals such as camphor or naphthalene.
Avoid exposing the SB-600 to magnetic waves from TVs or radios.
• Do not use or leave the SB-600 in locations subject to high temperatures such as those
encountered near a heater or stove, as this may cause damage.
• When not using the SB-600 for more than two weeks, be sure to remove the batteries to
prevent malfunctions due to battery leakage.
• Take the SB-600 out once a month, insert the batteries, and fire the unit several times to
reform the capacitor.
• When the SB-600 is stored together with a desiccant, change the desiccant occasionally
since it does not absorb moisture effectively after a while.

Operating location
• An extreme temperature change can cause condensation inside the SB-600.
When taking the SB-600 to a very hot place from a very cold place or vice versa, place
it inside an airtight container such as plastic bag. Leave it inside for a while, then
expose the SB-600 gradually to the outside temperature.
• Avoid exposing the SB-600 to strong magnetism or radio waves from TVs or high-voltage
power transmission towers, as this may cause it to malfunction.
