The flash unit may in no event be activat-
ed in the vicinity of inflammable gases or
liquids (petroleum, solvents etc.).
RISK OF EXPLOSIONS!
Do not flash directly into eyes from a clo-
se distance! Direct flashing into the eyes
of persons or animals can cause damage
to the retina and severe disruption of the
vision – up to and including permanent
blindness!
Never use a flash unit to photograph car,
bus, bicycle, motorbike or train drivers
while they are driving. Blinding the driver
can lead to an accident!
If the housing has been damaged in such
a way that internal components are
exposed, the flash unit may no longer be
used. Remove the batteries! Do not
touch any internal components.
HIGH VOLTAGE!
After repeated flashing, do not touch the
diffuser. Risk of burns!
Do not dismantle the flash unit!
HIGH VOLTAGE!
Repairs should only be performed by aut-
horised service personnel.
• The flash unit is exclusively designed and
authorised for use in photographic applica-
tions.
• Only use the power sources designated and
autho-rised in the operating manual!
• Do not open the batteries or short them!
• In no event the batteries be exposed to
high temperatures like direct sunlight, fire
or similar!
• Never throw flat/dead batteries onto a fire!
• Do not use any toxic batteries or recharge-
able batteries!
• Remove the used batteries immediately
from the device! Chemicals can escape
from used batteries (so-called "leaks")
resulting in damage to the device!
• Batteries may not be recharged!
• Do not expose the flash unit to water drops
and splashes!
• Protect your flash unit from heat and high
air humidity! Do not keep it in the glove
compartment of your car!
• Rapid changes in temperature may lead to
condensation. If this occurs, allow time for
the unit to become acclimatized!
• When you activate the flash, there should
be no opaque material directly in front of or
on the reflector cover (flash window). The
intense energy emissions can otherwise
lead to scorching or spotting of the material
and/or the reflector cover.
