• If the housing has been damaged in
such a way that internal components
are exposed, the flash unit may no lon-
ger be used. Remove the batteries!
Do not touch any internal components.
HIGH VOLTAGE!
• After a series of flashes with full power
and short intervals, a pause of at least
3 minutes must be observed after each
series of 20 flashes!
• When taking a series of flash shots at
full light output and with rapid recycling
times, and with zoom positions of
35 mm and less, the diffuser heats up,
due to the high level of thermal energy.
• This flash unit may be used in combina-
tion with a camera-integrated flash only
if the flash can be folded out completely.
• Rapid changes in temperature may lead
to condensation. If this occurs, allow
time for the unit to become acclimati-
zed.
• Do not use any toxic batteries or rechar-
geable batteries!
