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”.
 
Using AA/R6 batteries other than the alkaline type may cause improper 
battery contact due to the irregular shape of the battery contacts.
 
If you change the batteries after firing many flashes continuously, be 
aware that the batteries might be hot.
