Cautions Regarding Batteries
l
This flash unit uses four AA alkaline, lithium, or nickel metal 
hydride batteries. Do not use any other types of batteries. 
The flash unit may not be able to operate correctly or 
demonstrate sufficient performance, or the flash unit itself 
may generate heat, depending on the type of batteries used.
l
AA alkaline and lithium batteries themselves are not 
rechargeable. Also, do not dismantle the batteries. 
Trying to recharge or dismantle the batteries may cause 
an explosion or leakage.
l
When changing batteries, do not mix batteries of different 
types or capacities, or from different manufacturers.
l
Do not insert the batteries with the positive (+) and 
negative (-) terminals the wrong way around. Incorrect 
insertion may lead to an explosion or fire.
l
Battery performance may temporarily be hindered in low 
temperatures. Batteries should be kept warm in 
temperatures below freezing for proper performance.
l
If you do not intend to use the flash unit for an extended 
period of time, remove the batteries. Leaving them in may 
cause damage to the flash unit due to leakage etc.
l
Do not short the batteries or dispose of the batteries in fire. 
Do not disassemble the batteries. The batteries could 
explode or catch fire.
l
Remove the batteries from the flash unit immediately if they 
become hot or begin to smoke. Be careful not to burn 
yourself during removal.
