10. Care and maintenance

Remove dust and grime with a soft dry cloth, or a sili- cone-treated cloth. Do not use detergents as these may damage the plastic parts.

Forming the flash capacitor

The flash capacitor incorporated in the flashgun undergoes a physical change when the flashgun is not switched on for prolonged periods. For this reason it is necessary to switch on the flashgun for approx. 10 minutes every 3 months. The battery

kmust supply sufficient power to light up the flash- ready light within one minute after the flashgun was

switched on.
