3. Never trigger the Flash Unit directly in front of your eyes! Using the Flash Unit
directly at people or animal‘s eyes might damage the retinas and cause serious
visual disturbances, even blindness.
4. Only use the batteries listed in this manual!

9. Do not put the Flash Unit in the glove box of the car dashboard. Do not put any
light-proof items before or on the reflection shield when the Flash Unit will be trigge-

Non-professional personal cannot fix the components within the Flash Unit.
11. If fast continuous shootings under full light output are done, you need to stop
for 15 minutes after every 10 continuous flashes to prevent overheating.
12. If the flash is used in full light output with continuous repititions in combination with
