Preparations, Power supply | Metz 28 CS-2 manual

•The flash unit must not be used if the case has been so badly damaged that internal com- ponents are exposed. Remove the batteries!

•Do not use defective batteries!

2. Preparations

2.1 Power supply

The flash unit can be operated with any of the fol- lowing batteries:

•2 alkaline-manganese dry-cell batteries, type IEC LR03 (size AAA). Maintenance-free power source for moderate power requirements.

•2 nickel-metal-hydride batteries, type IEC HR03 (size AAA). They have a significantly higher ca- pacity than NiCad batteries and are less harm- ful to the environment (no cadmium). They per- mit very fast recycling and are economical in use because they are rechargeable.

•2 NiCad batteries, type IEC KR03 (size AAA).

☞The batteries are exhausted if the recycling time exceeds 60 seconds when firing flashes at full light output. Remove the batteries from

the flash unit if you are not going to use it for an extended period of time.

2.2 Loading and replacing the batteries

•Turn off the flash unit by its main switch.

•Slide the battery compartment cover to the out- side of the flash unit.

•Insert the batteries as indicated by the symbols in the battery compartment.

☞When loading the batteries ensure that their + and - poles are aligned with the symbols.

Transposed poles can destroy the flash unit. Always exchange both batteries, replacing them with identical batteries of the same capacity from the same manufacturer! Do not dispose of spent batteries in the domestic

waste bin. Spent batteries should be handed in to an appropriate collecting point.

•Close the battery compartment cover and slide it towards the unit’s foot.
