• IMPORTANT:

During operation, the temperature of the speedlight lens and various components of

the FJ80 II speedlight may increase. Please use caution while using to avoid severe burns or injuries.

• Use only with the Westcott FJ80 II Lithium Polymer Battery and Charger.
• Do not touch the speedlight lens after immediate use to avoid potential injury.
• Never leave unattended around children and/or pets.
• Always confirm proper installation, locking, and unlocking when adding or removing from the

camera hot shoe. Failure to completely rotate could result in damaging the locking pin.

• Keep away from fire, water, and moisture.
• Do not submerge in water.
• Avoid drastic temperature changes before, during, or after use.
• Always remove the FJ80 II Lithium Polymer Battery from the FJ80 II Speedlight during travel/

storage to avoid accidental operation, which could lead to overheating or permanent damage.

• Do not force adjust or add excessive weight to the speedlight head.
• Only use the FJ80 II Speedlight with FJ80 Series compatible mounts, brackets, modifiers and/or

accessories.

• Do not attempt to modify any Westcott products. Contact Westcott for assistance.
• The maximum operating temperature is 14~122°F (-10~50°C).

Dual-Stage Heat Protection

The FJ80 II is equipped with a self-monitoring system ensuring safe operation during continued full-

power use during a short timeframe. The monitoring system provides a staged automatic protection

scenario;

• Stage 1: Once the speedlight reaches an internal operating temperature of 212°F (100°C), the screen

will display a yellow

OH

. The recycle time will also increase to 2 seconds in efforts to cool the unit

while allowing for further operation.

• Stage 2: Once the strobe reaches an internal operating temperature of 266°F (130°C), the screen

will display a red

OH

icon. The recycle time will increase an additional 2 seconds in efforts to cool

the unit while allowing for further operation.

• Once the unit has cooled, the red

OH

will disappear from the touchscreen, and it will then be safe to

continue operation.

Note: The LED modeling lamp will be disabled during

OH

in efforts to minimize heat.
