CAUTION
Do not use AA/R6 lithium batteries.
Note that certain AA/R6 lithium batteries may become extremely hot in rare
cases during usage. Due to safety reasons, do not use “AA/R6 lithium batteries”.
When continually firing, do not touch the flash head, batteries, or the
area near the battery compartment.
When continuous flash or modeling flash is repeatedly fired with short
intervals, do not touch the flash head, battery, or the area near the battery
compartment. The flash head, batteries, and area near the battery
compartment become hot, resulting in the risk of burn.
Do not use the Speedlite while touching the same part for a long period of time.
Even if the product does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same
body part may cause skin redness, blistering or low-temperature contact
burns. Using a tripod is recommended for people with circulation problems
or very sensitive skin, or when using the product in very hot places.
