Tips on Speedlight Care
 Cleaning
•  Dirt on the flash panel can cause it to break when the flash is fired. Clean 
the flash panel regularly.
•  Use a blower to remove dust and lint, then wipe gently with a soft, dry 
cloth. After using the SB-5000 at the beach or seaside, wipe off sand or 
salt with a cloth lightly dampened in distilled water and then dry the 
product thoroughly by wiping it gently with a dry cloth.
•  On rare occasions, the LCD may turn on or go dark, due to static 
electricity. This is not a malfunction. The display will soon return to 
normal.
•  The SB-5000 contains a large amount of precision electronics. Do not 
subject it to shock or vibration. Do not apply strong pressure to the LCD 
panel.
•  Never use thinner, benzene or other organic solvents when cleaning the 
Speedlight, as this may damage the Speedlight or cause it to catch fire. 
Using these agents may also impair your health.
