     WARNING

 Do not fire the flash or AF illuminator light immediately in front of a person’s eyes (particularly an infant).

Exposure to the light from the flash at a very short range may cause irreparable injury to the eyes. Be espe-
cially careful to avoid using the Macro Flash System at a distance of less than 1 meter from an infant.

 Do not leave the Macro Flash System and batteries within reach of children.

• If a child swallows a battery or small accessory, see a doctor immediately.
• If the flash is emitted near a child, their eyes may be injured irreparably.
• Moving parts of the Macro Flash System could injure a child.

 Avoid the following actions to prevent fire or injury due to battery fluid leak, overheating, fire ignition or

bursting.

• Do not use batteries that are not specified for use with this Macro Flash System.
• Do not throw the battery in a fire, expose it to heat, short-circuit it, or disassemble it.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or batteries of different types or brands.
• Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries such as alkaline batteries.
• Do not load batteries with the +/– polarity reversed.

 Do not store the Macro Flash System in a place exposed to excessive dust or moisture. Otherwise, fire or

electric shock may result.

 Do not use the flash when it is covered by a flammable object such as a handkerchief.

Do not touch the light-emitting area after use. It will be very hot and could burn you.

 If the Macro Flash System is dropped in water or any fluid gets inside, immediately remove the batteries and

contact your dealer or Olympus. Continued use could result in fire or electric shock.

 If you notice any abnormalities such as leakage, discoloration, deformation, overheating, or odor, stop using

this device. Continued use could result in fire, overheating or explosion. Remove the batteries carefully to
avoid burning yourself and to prevent exposure to gas or dangerous fluids that may be released. For repair,
contact Olympus.

 Always remove the batteries when you don’t expect to use the Macro Flash System for a long period. Other-

wise, heat generation or fluid leak from the batteries may result in fire, injury and/or contamination of the
surroundings.

Olympus.
