1 Safety instructions
The flash unit may in no event be activated in the
vicinity of inflammable gases or liquids (petroleum,
solvents etc.).
RISK OF EXPLOSIONS!
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 per-
manent 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 authorised
service personnel.
• 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 tempera-
tures like direct sunlight, fire or similar!
• Never throw flat/dead batteries onto a fire!
• Do not use any toxic batteries or rechargeable
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 conden-
sation. 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.
