Notes on Batteries
• The large amounts of current used by the Speedlight may result
in rechargeable batteries becoming unusable before reaching the
manufacturer’s stated recharge/discharge limit.
• When replacing the batteries, turn the product off and insert the
replacement batteries in the correct orientation.
• Dirt on the battery terminals can interrupt the flow of current. Clean dirt
from the terminals before inserting the batteries.
• After being fired multiple times in quick succession, the Speedlight
may stop operating to allow the batteries to cool depending on battery
specifications. Normal operation can be resumed once the batteries
have cooled sufficiently.
• Batteries tend to lose capacity at low temperatures, recover lost voltage
when allowed to rest, and slowly discharge when not in use. Be sure to
check the battery level before use and replace the batteries before they
are fully discharged.
• Do not store batteries in locations subject to high temperatures or high
humidity.
• For information on handling and recharging rechargeable batteries, see
the documentation provided by the manufacturers of the batteries and
the battery charger.
• Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Failure to
observe this precaution could cause the batteries to rupture.
