Canon 577 G - Manual (Page 12)

1. Unhook the Transistor Pack G’s
cord from its case and remove the
pack from the case.
2. Turn off the transistor pack’s
power switch (Photo 1).
3. Insert the set of six al­
kaline-manganese batteries into
battery magazine TP as illustrat­
ed. Then align the contact on the
magazine with the transistor
pack’s and insert the one into the
other (Photo 2).
OR
Insert a fully-charged Ni-Cd Pack
TP into Transistor Pack G the
same way as battery magazine TP
is inserted.
4. Reinsert the transistor pack into
its case as shown in the photo.
Then rehook the cord (Photo 3).
5. Align the index on the plug at the
end of the transistor pack’s cord
with the index on the 577G’s ex­
ternal power source socket. Push
the plug securely into the socket
(Photo 4).
6. Turn on the transistor pack’s
power switch. The lamp next to
the power switch should light up
(Photo 5).
7. Make sure the usual preparations
as described in the following
pages have been made on
camera, flash and lens and wait
for the 577G’s pilot lamp to glow.
Then take the picture (Photo 6).
* The transistor pack’s operation
lamp glows as long as the power
switch is on and there is power.
However, even when it is glowing,
the batteries should be replaced
with new ones or the Ni-Cd Pack
TP should be recharged if the
flash unit’s recycling time be­
comes longer than usual.
* When the batteries wear out, re­
place all of them at the same time
with a set of new ones which are
all of the same brand.
* If you do not expect to use Tran­
sistor Pack G for a long time, re­
move the alkaline-manganese
batteries from the magazine. Ni-
Cd Pack TP may be left inserted
but the power switch must be off
to prevent corrosive battery
ieakage and other potential dam­
age.
* Be sure the transistor pack’s
power switch is off whenever it is
not in use.
* Should the battery temperature
rise in continuous shooting with C-
size batteries, you may rest at
ease, for it is a normal condition.
* There is a protective lining be­
tween Battery Magazine TP and
Transistor Pack G.
Before using, remove this lining.
It may be thrown away.
