Installing the Batteries
• If the battery contacts are dirty, the Speedlite 220EX may not operate
properly. Wipe the battery contacts with a cloth and make sure that the
battery contacts are clean before installing.
• The contacts of size-AA nickel-hydride and lithium batteries are not
standardized. If you want to use nickel-hydride or lithium batteries,
make sure that the battery contacts touch the battery compartment's
contacts securely.
