Installing the Batteries

CAUTION

o

Do not use “AA/R6 lithium batteries”.

Note that certain AA/R6 lithium batteries may become extremely hot in

rare cases during use. Due to safety reasons, do not use “AA/R6 lithium

batteries”.

o

Do not use the Speedlite while touching the same part for a long

period of time.

Even if the product does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same

body part may cause skin redness or blistering due to low-temperature

contact burns. Using a tripod is recommended in very hot places or for

people with circulation problems or less sensitive skin.

Using AA/R6 batteries other than the alkaline type may cause contact

failure due to the irregular shape of the battery contacts.

o

Use a new set of two batteries of the same brand. When replacing the

batteries, replace both at the same time.

o

AA/HR6 Ni-MH batteries can also be used.

o

For details on the flash interval and flash count, refer to the separate

Supplemental Information.
