•Take the Speedlight out once a month, insert the batteries, and fire the unit several times to reform the capacitor.

•When the Speedlight is stored together with a desiccant, renew the desiccant

occasionally. En

Operating location

•An extreme temperature change can cause condensation to form inside the Speedlight. When exposing the Speedlight to high temperatures from very low temperatures, or vice versa, place it inside an airtight container such as a plastic bag. Leave it inside the container for a while before gradually exposing the Speedlight to the outside temperature.

•Avoid exposing the Speedlight to strong magnetic or radio waves from televisions or high voltage power transmission towers, as this may cause it to malfunction.

Notes on handling batteries

•Because flash consumes a large amount of battery power, rechargeable batteries may not operate properly before reaching the end of their stated lifespan or the number of charging/discharging as specified by the battery manufacturer.

•If the battery terminals become soiled, remove dirt and smudges before use, as this may cause a malfunction.

•Battery power tends to weaken as the temperature drops. It also gradually decreases when batteries are not used for a long time and recovers after a short break following intensive use. Be sure to check battery power and replace the batteries with fresh ones, if you notice any delays in the recycling time.

•Do not store batteries in locations subject to high temperatures and high humidity.
