7. Handling After Shooting
Cleaning the flash with pure water
After using this flash, seal it again with the battery cap and rinse it with
pure water as soon as possible. After use in salt water, the flash should
be immersed for an extended period of time in a bowl of pure water to
remove any salt water or salt residues.
Operate the switches of the flash when it is in clean tap water to remove
any salt from their shafts.
Wiping off any waterdrops
After underwater shooting, remove any drops of water from the flash.
Use pressurized air or lint-free cloth to carefully wipe away any water from
the buttons, the battery cap and the gaps between the battery cap and the
body of the flash.
Removing the batteries
1 Remove the battery cap and take out the batteries.
2 After removing the batteries, be sure to replace the battery cap.
CAUTION
• Leakage may occur to some parts if exposed to high water pressure.
• Do not disassemble the flash for cleaning.
• If the flash is dried before all salt has been removed, this could affect its
performance. Always make sure all salt has been removed.
CAUTION
• Waterdrops may spill into the flash when the battery cap is removed,
especially when they remain between the flash and the battery cap. Take
special care to wipe off all waterdrops.
CAUTION
• Before opening the battery cap, make sure that your hands or gloves are
free of sand, fibers, etc.
• Do not open or close the battery cap at locations where water or sand may
be sprayed. When this cannot be avoided because you have to exchange
the battery, place a sheet upwind from some object and take care that no
water or sand is sprayed.
• Never touch the batteries when your hands are wet with salt water.
