1. Safety instructions

• The flash unit is intended and approved only for

photographical use.

• NEVER fire a flash from a very short distance

directly into the eyes of persons or animals. This
can cause damage to the retina and may even
lead to blindness.

• NEVER trigger a flash in the vicinity of flamm-

able gases or liquids (petrol, solvents, etc.),
since this may cause EXPLOSIONS!

• NEVER shoot flash pictures of car or bus drivers,

cyclists or motorcyclists, or train drivers while the
vehicle is moving! This may dazzle the person
concerned and result in an accident.

• Only use the approved power sources specified

in these operating instructions.

• NEVER attempt to open or short-circuit batteries!
• NEVER expose batteries to excessive tempera-

tures such as intensive sunlight or a fire!

• Remove exhausted batteries immediately from

the flash unit. Such batteries may leak, releasing
chemicals which can damage the flash unit.

• NEVER attempt to recharge dry batteries!
• Do not expose the flash unit to dripping or

splashing water.

• Do not expose your flash unit to high tempera-

tures and humidity. Do not keep it in the glove
compartment of your car.

• Do not touch the diffuser after firing several

flashes at short intervals. Danger of burns!

• When taking flash shots at full light output and

in rapid succession observe an interval of at
least 3 minutes after 20 flashes.

• NEVER place material that is impervious to light

in front of, or directly on the reflector. If this is
not observed, the high energy of the flash light
may cause burning or bleaching of the material
or may damage the reflector.

• NEVER dismantle the flash unit! DANGER: HIGH

VOLTAGE! Repairs must only be completed by
an authorised repair service.

• Do not touch the contacts of the flash unit.
