ABOUT THE BATTERY
This flash unit uses four “AA” type Alkaline dry cell batteries, Ni-Cad or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.
Manganese batteries can also be used but as they have a shorter life than Alkaline batteries, we do
not recommend using them. Please replace batteries if it takes more than 30seconds to light the
Ready Lamp.
◆ To assure proper electrical contact, clean the battery terminals before installing the batteries.
◆ Ni-Cad or Ni-MH batteries do not have standardized contacts. If you use Ni-Cad or Ni-MH batteries,
please confirm that the battery contacts touch the battery compartment properly.
◆ To prevent battery explosion, leakage or overheating, use four new AA batteries of the same type
and brand. Do not mix the type or new and used batteries.
◆ Do not disassemble or short-circuit the batteries, or expose them fire or water; they may explode. Do
not recharge the batteries other than Ni-Cad or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.
◆ When the flash will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the flash
to avoid the possibility of damage from leakage.
◆ Battery performance decreases at low temperatures. Keep batteries insulated when using the flash
in cold weather.
◆ As with any flash, it is recommended you carry spare batteries when on a long trip or when
photographing outdoors in cold weather.
BATTERY LOADING
1. Be sure to set the Power Switch to the off position
then slide, the battery cover in the direction of the
arrow to open.
2. Insert four AA size batteries into the battery chamber.
Be sure the + and – ends of the batteries are aligned
according to the diagram in the chamber.
3. Close the cover.
4. Slide the Power Switch to the ON position. After few
seconds, the Ready Lamp will light, indicating that
the flash unit can be fired.
5. Please press the “Test Button” to be sure that the flash is working properly.
AUTO POWER OFF
To conserve battery power, the flash unit automatically turns itself off when the flash is not used for
approximately 240 seconds. To turn the flash on again, depress the “TEST” button, or depress the
camera shutter button halfway. Please note that, “Auto Power Off” mechanism does not work with
‘Wireless’ off-camera flash mode, normal slave flash, and designated slave flash modes.
ERROR INDICATION
If the battery power is not sufficient or there is electric information error between the camera and flash
unit, the “Er” mark will blink on the LCD panel. When this occurs, turn the power switch off and on. If it
still blinks, after this procedure, check the battery power.
