Q3: How to handle the flash after use?
A3: After using the flash, remove the batteries at once and seal it again
with the battery cap and then rinse it in pure water. After use in salt
water, you should immerse the flash for an extended period of time
in pure water. Operate the switches when it is in clean tap water to
remove any salt from their shafts. After rinsing, remove moisture
with a dry cloth free of salt, and dry the flash in the shade. Never
use hot air from a hair dryer or other appliances to dry the flash,
and never place it in direct sunlight to dry, as this could deform,
discolor, damage or deteriorates the flash and O-ring.
• The inner side of the flash should be wiped with a soft, lint-free
cloth.
• Remove the O-ring, wipe off the attached foreign matter such as
salt, sand and dirt, also clean the grooves in which O-ring has
been fitted and the surface in contact with the O-ring (battery cap
side), and dry all of them.
• When removing an O-ring from the groove, do not use a sharp
object to avoid damaging the O-ring and causing leaks. Be
always sure to use the provided remover for removing the
O-ring.
