zFasten the attachment screws securely so that they do not loosen. Failure to do so may lead to the dropping of the camera and flash resulting in damage to both.

z Before attaching the bracket to the flash, check that the lithium battery (CR123A or DL123) is installed.

zTo illuminate the subjects properly, install the flash so that it is up against the side of the camera and parallel with the camera’s front panel.

zA tripod can be used even when the flash is attached.

Batteries

zCharge becomes Severely Limited

If the battery usage time has considerably diminished, wipe the battery terminals well with a dry cloth. The terminals may be dirty from fingerprints.

zUsage in Cold Temperatures

Get a spare generic lithium battery (CR123A or DL123). You are recommended to place the spare battery in your pocket to warm it up before switching it for the battery in the flash.

zNon-Use over Extended Periods

Leaving batteries in the High-Power Flash could allow the battery fluid to leak, damaging the product. Remove the batteries from the High- Power Flash and store them in a cool, dry place.
