Batteries

Note:

Check

the

type

of

batteries

used

in

your

flash

and

read

the

ap-

propriate

sections.

The

following

describes

the

proper

use

of

batteries

and

how

to

prolong

their

life.

Incorrect

use

can

shorten

battery

life

or

cause

leakage,

over-

heating,

or

explosion.

•

Cautions:

Handling

the

Batteries

•

Do

name,

or

heat.

•

Do

not transport

or

store

with

metal

objects

such

as

.

•

Do

not

use

or

with

other

abnormal

states.

•

Do

not

mix

old

and

new

batteries,

batteries

with different c

harge

lev

-

els,

or

batteries

ofdifferent

types

.

• If

the

nash

will

not

be

used

for

an

extended

period,

remove

the

bat

-

teries.

Note

that

various

se

ttings of

the

na

shwill

be

reset.

•

The

batteries

may

be

warm

to

the

touch

immediately

after

use

.

Turn

the

flash

off

and

allow

the

batteries

to

cool

before

handling.

•

Battery

capacity

tends

to

decrease

at

low

temperatures

below

10

oc

(50

oF).

Keep

spare

batteries

in

a

pocket

or

other

warm

place

and

ex-

change

as

necessary.

Cold

batteries

may

recover

some

oftheir

charge

when

warmed.

• Fingerprints

and

other

stains

on

the

battery

terminals

can

affect

a

number of

flash

firing. Thoroughly

clean

the

terminals

with a

soft,

dry

cloth

before

inserting

batteries

in

the

nash.

•

Rechargeable

AA

Ni-MH

Batteries

The

capacity

of

Ni

-

MH

batteries

may

be

temporarily

reduced

when

new,

after

long

periods

of

disuse,

or

if they

are

repeatedly

recharged

before

being

fully

discharged.

This

is

normal

and

does

not

indicate

amalfunction.

The

nash

draws

a

small

amount

of current

even

when

off.

Ni-MH

bat-

teries

that

have

been

left

in

the

flash

for

an

extended

period

may

be

drawn

down

to

the

point that

they

no

longer

hold

a

charge

.

Batteries

that

no

longer

hold

a

charge

even

after

repeatedly

being

discharged

and

recharged

have

reached

the

end

of their

service

life

and

must

be

replaced

.

Ni-MH

batteries

can

be

recharged

in

abattery

charger

(sold

Batteries

may

become

warm

to
