Safety Precautions
Keep the equipment out of the reach of children and infants, including when in use.
Straps or cords may accidentally cause choking, electrical shock, or injury. Choking
or injury may also occur if a child or infant accidentally swallows a part or accessory.
If a child or infant swallows a part or accessory, consult a physician immediately.
When the equipment is not in use, make sure to remove the battery, and disconnect
the external power source and cable from the equipment before storing. This is to
prevent electrical shock, excessive heat, fire, or corrosion.
Prevent any battery leakage from contacting your eyes, skin, and clothing. It can
cause blindness or skin problems. If the battery leakage contacts your eyes, skin, or
clothing, flush the affected area with lots of clean water without rubbing it. See a
physician immediately.
Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the product.
Doing so may cause fire or a health hazard.
Do not fire the flash near a person’s eyes. It may impair the person’s vision. When
using flash to photograph an infant, keep at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away.
Cautions:
Follow the cautions below. Otherwise physical injury
or property damage may result.
When the product is not in use for a prolonged period, make sure to remove the
battery before storing. This is to prevent malfunction or corrosion.
When disposing of a battery, insulate the electrical contacts with tape to prevent
contact with other metallic objects or batteries. This is to prevent a fire or an
explosion.
Do not use, store, or leave the product in a vehicle in the direct sunlight or with
interior of a high-temperature, or near a high-temperature object. The product may
become hot and cause skin burns if touched. Doing so may also cause battery heat
generation, breakage, leakage, and the like.
Do not fire the flash with the flash head (light-emitting unit) contacted a human body
or any object. Doing so may result in the risk of burn and fire.
Do not leave the product in a low-temperature environment for an extended period of
time. The product will become cold and may cause injury when touched.
Do not directly touch any part of the product that becomes hot. Long contact on the
skin may result in low temperature contact burns.
If you replace the batteries after continually firing, the batteries may be hot. Be
careful not to get burned in the process. It may cause a skin burn.
