Remove the batteries from the mecablitz if it
is not going to be used for an extended
period of time.
2.2.2 Replacing batteries (Fig. 1)
The batteries are exhausted if the recycling time
(elapsing from the triggering of a full-power flash,
e.g. in the M mode, to the moment the flash ready
indicator lights up again) exceeds 60 seconds.
Turn off the mecablitz by its main switch.

Slide the battery compartment cover in the
direction of the arrow and fold open.
• Insert the batteries lengthwise in conformity with
the indicated battery symbols and close the bat-
tery compartment cover.
When loading batteries ensure correct pola-
rity, as indicated by the symbols in the bat-
tery compartment. Mixed up battery poles
may destroy the flash unit! Replace all bat-
teries at a time and make sure that the bat-
teries are of the same brand and type and
have the same capacity!
Exhausted batteries must not be thrown in
the dustbin! Help protect the environment
and dispose of exhausted batteries at the
appropriate collecting points.

2.3 Switching the flash unit on and off

The flash unit is switched on with the main switch
on top of the battery compartment cover. In the
upper „ON" position, the mecablitz is on.
To turn off the flash unit push the main switch
down to its bottom position (Fig. 2).
If your mecablitz is not going to be used for
an extended period of time, we recommend
to switch it off with the main switch and to
remove the power sources (batteries).

2.4 Auto-OFF for mecablitz

To save battery power and prevent inadvertent
battery discharge, the mecablitz is factory-set to
automatically switch-over to standby mode (Auto-
OFF), while flash readiness and the LC display
are simultaneously switched off, approx. 3 minu-
tes after:
• Switch-on
• Firing a flash
• Actuating the shutter release
