Elinchrom FIVE Monolight Kit - Manual (Page 8)

• Do not turn on the device without a mounted and
working flashtube due to high voltage at the exposed
terminals!
• Flash systems store electrical energy in capacitors by
applying high voltage.
• The units may retain an internal charge for a
considerable time even though disconnected from
the battery. Internal defective charge capacitors may
explode whilst the unit is in use, so never switch on a
flash unit, once it has been found to be faulty.
• For your safety, never open or disassemble your
flashes. Only an authorised personnel should open or
attempt to repair this unit.
• Always switch off the flash unit before changing
accessories.
• The unit, the flashtube and accessories may become
very hot during and after use! To avoid injuries,
handle with an insulating cloth or wait until parts
have cooled down. Avoid direct sunlight, which
might heat up the flash unit and affect the photocell
efficiency. Protect the flash unit when used in humid
conditions but ensure ventilation for cooling!
• Under no circumstances should any object be
inserted into the ventilation holes.
• Use only original Elinchrom Accessories. Damaged
cables, glass domes and cases must be immediately
replaced by customer service.
