■ Rechargeable AA Ni-MH Batteries

The capacity of Ni-MH batteries may be temporarily reduced when new, after long 
periods of disuse, or if they are repeatedly recharged before being fully discharged.  
This is normal and does not indicate a malfunctio

n. 

T

he 

fl ash

 draws a small amount of current even when off  . Ni-MH batteries that 

have been left in the 

fl ash

 for an extended period may be drawn down to the point 

that they no longer hold a charge. 

 B

atteries that no longer hold a charge even 

after repeatedly being discharged and recharged have reached the end of their 
service life and must be replaced.

Ni-MH batteries can be recharged in a battery charger (sold separately). Batteries 
may become warm to the touch after charging.  Refer to the instructions provided 
with the charger for more information.  Use the charger with compatible batter-
ies only.

Ni-MH batteries gradually lose their charge when not in use.

■ Disposal

Dispose of used batteries in accord with local regulation

s.

To ensure continued enjoyment of the product, observe the following precau-
tions.

If the 

fl ash

 will not be used for an extended period, remove 

batteries.

  Do not store 

or use the

 fl ash

 in locations that are:

•  exposed to rain, steam, or smoke
•  very humid or extremely dusty
•  exposed to direct sunlight or very high temperatures, such as in a closed vehicle 

on a sunny day

• extremely cold
•  subject to strong vibration
•  exposed to strong magnetic fi elds, such as near a broadcasting antenna, power 

line, radar emitter, motor, transformer, or magnet

•  in contact with volatile chemicals such as pesticides
•  next to rubber or vinyl products

■ Water and Sand

Exposure to water and sand can also damage the 

fl ash

 and its internal circuitry and 

mechanisms.  When using the 

fl ash

 at the beach or seaside, avoid exposing the 

fl ash

 to water or sand.  Do not place the

 fl ash

 on a wet surface.

■ Condensation

Sudden increases in temperature, such as occur when entering a heated building 
on a cold day, can cause condensation inside the 

fl ash.

  If this occurs, turn the 

fl ash

 

off  and 

wait for droplets to evaporate.

Use a blower to remove dust from 

the light-emitting section or other parts of the 

fl ash

, then gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth.  Any remaining stains can be removed 

by wiping gently with a piece of FUJIFILM lens-cleaning paper to which a small 
amount of lens-cleaning fl uid has been applied.  Care should be taken to avoid 
scratching 

any parts of fl ash, particularly the light-emitting section

.  The 

body of 

fl ash

 can be cleaned with a soft, dry clot
