WARNING If a problem arises, turn the flash off, and remove the batteries. Continued use of the flash when it is emitting smoke, is emitting any unusual odor, or is in any other abnormal state can cause a fire or electric shock. Do not allow water or foreign objects to enter the flash. [. . . ] Cold batteries may recover some of their charge when warmed. · Fingerprints and other stains on the battery terminals can impair battery performance. Thoroughly clean the terminals with a soft, dry cloth before inserting them in the flash. If the batteries leak, clean the battery chamber thoroughly before inserting new batteries. If fluid from the battery comes into contact with skin or clothing, flush the affected area with water. If fluid enters your eyes, immediately flush the affected area with water and seek medical attention. Failure to observe this precaution could result in permanent visual impairment. Ni-MH Batteries The capacity of Ni-MH batteries may be temporarily reduced when new, after long periods of disuse, or if they are repeatedly recharged before being fully discharged. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. The flash draws a small amount of current even when off. Ni-MH batteries that have been left in the flash for an extended period may be drawn down to the point that they no longer hold a charge. Battery performance may also drop if the batteries are run down in a device such as a flashlight. Batteries that no longer hold a charge even after repeatedly being discharged and recharged have reached the end of their service life and must be replaced. Ni-MH batteries can be recharged in a battery charger (sold separately). Batteries may become warm to the touch after charging. Refer to the instructions provided with the charger for more information. Use the charger with compatible batteries only. Ni-MH batteries gradually lose their charge when not in use. Disposal Dispose of used batteries in accord with local regulations. ENGLISH EN-2 Liquid Crystal In the event that the display is damaged, care should be taken to avoid contact with liquid crystal.
