To Install Batteries
Selecting Alkaline or Nickel-Cadmium
Batteries
The major advantage of alkaline batteries
is
that they provide more flashes per set.
While nickel-cadmium batteries will pro-
vide fewer flashes per set, they will recy-
cle your PZ4000AF slightly faster and can
be recharged hundreds of times for more
economical operation over the long run.
