Cleaning the flash with pure water
Please make sure to use pure water. After using this flash, seal it again
with the battery cap and rinse it with pure water as soon as possible. After
use in salt water, the flash should be immersed for an extended period of
time in a bowl of pure water to remove any salt water or salt residues.
CAUTION
• Before opening the battery cap, make sure that your hands or gloves are
free of sand, fibers, etc.
• Do not open or close the battery cap at locations where water or sand may
be sprayed. When this cannot be avoided because you have to exchange
the battery, place a sheet upwind from some object and take care that no
water or sand is sprayed.
• Never touch the batteries when your hands are wet with salt water.
Note :
Moisten a towel etc. in advance with pure water and keep it in a plastic bag
so that you can wipe the salt from your hands and fingers before handling
the flash.
CAUTION
• Leakage may occur to some parts if exposed to high water pressure.
• Operate the switches of the flash when it is in clean tap water to remove
any salt from their shafts. Do not disassemble the flash for cleaning.
• If the flash is dried before all salt has been removed, this could affect its
performance. Always make sure all salt has been removed.
