5 Remove any batteries from the unit before storing the unit for a long
time to prevent the unit from catching on fire or leaking corrosive liquids.
WARNINGS for Batteries
1 Never heat or throw batteries into a fire, as this could cause the batteries
to leak corrosive liquids, generate heat or explode.
2 Do not short-circuit or disassemble the batteries because this could
cause the batteries to leak corrosive liquids, generate heat or explode.
3 Do not mix battery types, brands or old and new batteries, as this could
cause the batteries to leak corrosive liquids, generate heat or explode.
4 Do not install batteries in the reverse direction as this could cause the
batteries to leak corrosive liquids, generate heat or explode. Even if only
one battery is installed in reverse it will cause the speedlight to
malfunction.
5 Be sure to use the battery charger specified by the battery maker to
avoid the possibility of batteries leaking corrosive liquids, generating heat or
exploding.
6 Do not carry or store batteries along with metallic materials such as
necklaces and hair pins because such materials could cause the batteries
to short-circuit, leading to battery leakage, heat generation or an explosion.
In addition, specially when carrying a quantity of batteries, place them
carefully in a storage case that prevents the battery terminals from
touching another battery’s terminals because if they touch in reverse
order it could also cause the batteries to short-circuit, leading to battery
leakage, heat generation or an explosion.
7 If corrosive liquids seep from the batteries and get in your eyes,
immediately wash your eyes with running water and consult with a
doctor. Your eyes could be seriously damaged if they are not treated
quickly.
8 If corrosive liquids seep from the batteries and come in contact with
your skin or clothes, wash immediately with running water. Prolonged
contact could injure your skin.
9 Always follow the warnings and instructions printed on the batteries to
avoid activities that could cause the batteries to leak corrosive liquids,
generate heat or catch on fire.
10 Be sure to use only batteries specified in this instruction manual, to
avoid the possibility of batteries leaking corrosive liquids, generating heat or
exploding.
