3.2 Power supply
Suitable batteries/rechargeable batteries
The flash unit can be operated with any of
the following batteries:
• 4 nickel-metal-hydride batteries 1.2V, type
IEC HR6 (size AA). They have a significantly
higher capacity than NiCad batteries and
are less harmful to the environment, since
they have no cadmium.
• 4 alkaline-manganese dry cell batteries
1.5V, type IEC LR6 (size AA). Maintenance-
free power source for moderate power
requirements.
• 4 lithium batteries 1.5V, type IEC FR6 (size
AA). Maintenance-free high-capacity power
source with a low self-discharge rate.
• Power Pack with connection cable (special
accessory).
Please only use the power sources given
above. If other power sources are used, there
is a risk of damaging the flash unit.
If your flash unit is not going to be used for
an extended period of time, remove the bat-
teries.
Replacing batteries
The disposable/rechargeable batteries are
empty or used up if the recycling time (time
from the triggering of a full-power flash, e.g.
in the M mode, to the moment the flash-rea-
dy indicator lights up again) exceeds 60
seconds. In addition, the battery warning
appears on the touch display.
• Switch off the flash unit. To do this, press
the

button until all displays turn off.
• Slide the battery compartment cover
 downwards and fold open.
• Insert the batteries lengthwise as indicated
by the battery symbols provided and close
the battery compartment cover .
When inserting batteries, ensure that the
polarity is correct and matches the symbols
in the battery compartment. Inserting the
batteries in the wrong direction can destroy
the flash unit! Always replace all batteries
simultaneously, and make sure that batteries
are the same brand and have the same capa-
city. Flat or dead batteries should not be dis-
posed of with ordinary household waste.
Help protect the environment, and dispose of
flat/dead batteries at the appropriate collec-
tion points.
