nCautions Regarding Batteries

•This flash unit uses 4 AA-size alkaline, lithium, or nickel metal hydride batteries. Do not use any other type of batteries. The flash unit may not be able to operate correctly or demonstrate sufficient performance, or the flash unit itself may generate heat, depending on the type of batteries used.

•AA-size alkaline and lithium batteries themselves are not rechargeable. Also, do not dismantle the batteries. Trying to recharge or dismantle these batteries may cause an explosion or leakage.

•When changing batteries, do not mix batteries of different manufacturers, type and capacity.

•Do not insert the batteries with the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals the wrong way around. Incorrect insertion may lead to an explosion or fire.

•Battery performance may temporarily be hindered in low temperatures. Batteries should be kept warm in temperatures below freezing for proper performance.

•If you do not intend to use the flash unit for an extended period of time, remove the batteries. Leaving the batteries in may cause damage to the flash unit due to leakage etc.
