CAUTION!

Battery life differs greatly by manufacturer. We recom- mend use of MX 1500 (AA) DURACELL ULTRA alkaline batteries with this product.

Tips for Prolonging Battery Life

Use the SET button to turn off the flash when you are not using it.

Alkaline Battery Life

The actual life of alkaline batteries is affected by a variety of factors, including the battery manufacturer, the amount of time the batteries spend in storage before you use them, temperature while you are recording, and photographic con- ditions. As a rule, we recommend the use of lithium batteries or Ni-MH batteries, which have longer lives than alkaline bat- teries.
