• 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.
