1. Safety instructions

NEVER fire a flash in the immediate vicinity of the eyes! Flash fired directly in front of the eyes of a person or animal can damage the retina and lead to severe visual disorders - even blindness!

Spent batteries should be immediately remo- ved. Chemicals leaking out of spent batteries will damage the flashgun.

Do not short-circuit batteries! DANGER OF EXPLOSION!

Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat, for instance sunshine, fire and the like!

NEVER throw spent batteries in a fire!

Do not expose the flashgun to dripping or splashing water!

Protect the flashgun against excessive heat and high humidity levels! Do not keep the flashgun in the glove compartment of a car!

In the event of flash shots with full light output observe an interval of at least 3 minutes after a series of 20 flashes. This will protect the flash- gun against overload.

NEVER place material that is impervious to light in front of, or directly on, the reflector screen. The reflector screen must be perfectly clean when a flash is fired. The high energy of the flash light will burn the material or damage the screen if this is not observed!

NEVER dismantle the flashgun! DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE! There are no components inside the flashgun that can be repaired by a layperson.

Disposal of batteries

Do not dispose of spent batteries with domestic rubbish.

Please return spent batteries to collecting points should they exist in your country!
