Batteries
❚❚
Observe the following precautions when handling batteries for use in this
unit:
• The large amounts of current used by the fl ash may result in recharge-
able batteries becoming unusable before reaching the manufacturer's
stated recharge/discharge limit.
• When replacing the batteries, turn the unit off and insert the replace-
ment batteries in the correct orientation.
• Dirt on the battery terminals can interrupt the fl ow of current. Clean dirt
from the terminals before inserting the batteries.
• After being fi red multiple times in quick succession, the fl ash may stop
fi ring to allow the batteries to cool. Normal operation can be resumed
once the batteries have cooled suffi ciently.
• Batteries tend to lose capacity at low temperatures, recover lost voltage
when allowed to rest, and slowly discharge when not in use. Be sure to
check the battery level before use and replace the batteries before they
are fully discharged.
• Do not store batteries in locations subject to high temperatures or high
humidity.
• For information on handling and recharging rechargeable batteries, see
the documentation provided by the manufacturers of the batteries and
the battery charger.
• Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Failure to ob-
serve this precaution could cause the batteries to rupture.
