Fig. 3: The battery warning indicator

The battery warning indicator

This facility is a testing aid for alkaline manganese batteries only. It is of no significance for other battery types.

If the flashing battery symbol appears, the remaining energy is still sufficient for a limited number of flashes. Some battery models may cause the warning indi- cator to flash prematurely, with about 50 % of their capacity left. Such batteries should be replaced only when really discharged (if recycling takes longer than 60 sec.).

The condition of the batteries can only be checked if the flashgun is switched on and after a few flashes have been fired.
