Canon 188A - Manual (Page 8)

Loading the Batteries
1 Use four new size AA alkaline-man-
ganese (LR6/AM-3) or Ni-Cd batteries.
Carbon-zinc batteries may also be
used, but their battery life is shorter
Before loading the batteries, wipe their
contacts and the flash contacts with a
clean, dry cloth to prevent poor contact
from dirt.
2 Press and slide the battery chamber
cover off in the direction of the arrow in
the photo
3 Load the batteries so that their con­
tacts are in the directions indicated by
the diagram inside the battery cham­
ber For proper function of the flash, it
is very important that their contacts be
facing in the correct directions.
4 Once the batteries are loaded, slide the
battery chamber cover back on while
pressing the batteries down Make sure
the cover’s tab fits into the correspond­
ing groove on the flash body
