1 Safety instructions

• The flash unit is exclusively designed
and authorised for use in photogra-
phic applications.
• Do not flash directly into eyes from
a close 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 blind-
ness!
• The flash unit may in no event be
activated in the vicinity of inflamma-
ble gases or liquids (petroleum, sol-
vents etc.). RISK OF EXPLOSIONS!
• Never use a flash unit to photo-
graph car, bus, bicycle, motorbike
or train drivers while they are dri-
ving. Blinding the driver can lead to
an accident!
• Only use the power sources desi-
gnated and authorised in the opera-
ting manual.
• Do not open the batteries or short
them!
• In no event the batteries be exposed
to high temperatures like direct sun-
light, fire or similar!
• Remove the used batteries immedia-
tely from the device! Chemicals can
escape from used batteries (so-cal-
led "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.
• After repeated flashing, do not
touch the diffuser. Risk of burns!
• After a series of flashes with full
power and short intervals, a pause
of at least 3 minutes must be obser-
ved after each series of 20 flashes!
• When you activate the flash, there
should be no opaque material
directly in front of or on the reflector

energy emissions can otherwise
lead to scorching or spotting of the
material and/or the reflector cover.
Do not dismantle the flash unit!
