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

To 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.

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

Batteries

eCharge 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.

eUsage 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.

eNon-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.
