I
Batteries
Note:
Check
the
type
of
batteries
used
in
your
flash
and
read
the
ap-
propriate
sections.
The
following
describes
the
proper
use
of
batteries
and
how
to
prolong
their
life.
Incorrect
use
can
shorten
battery
life
or
cause
leakage,
over-
heating,
fire,
or
explosion.
•
Cautions:
Handling
the
Batteries
•
Do
not
expose
to
name,
or
heat.
•
Do
not transport
or
store
with
metal
objects
such
as
neckl
aces
or
hairpins
.
•
Do
not
use
batteries
that
are
leaking,
deformed,
discolored,
or
with
other
abnormal
states.
•
Do
not
mix
old
and
new
batteries,
batteries
with different c
harge
lev
-
els,
or
batteries
of different
types
.
• If
the
nash
will
not
be
used
for
an
extended
period,
remove
the
bat
-
teries.
Note
that
various
se
ttings of
the
na
sh
will
be
reset.
•
The
batteries
may
be
warm
to
the
touch
immediately
after
use
.
Turn
the
flash
off
and
allow
the
batteries
to
cool
before
handling.
•
Battery
capacity
tends
to
decrease
at
low
temperatures
below
10
oc
(50
oF).
Keep
spare
batteries
in
a
pocket
or
other
warm
place
and
ex-
change
as
necessary.
Cold
batteries
may
recover
some
of their
charge
when
warmed.
•
Fingerprints
and
other
stains
on
the
battery
terminals
can
affect
a
number of
flash
firing. Thoroughly
clean
the
terminals
with a
soft,
dry
cloth
before
inserting
batteries
in
the
nash.
•
Rechargeable
AA
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
nash
draws
a
small
amount
of current
even
when
off.
Ni-MH
bat-
teries
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
.
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.
& Environmental
disposal
of batteries
is
advisable.

closed
vehicle
on
a
sunny
day
•
extremely
cold
•
subject
to
strong
vibration
•
exposed
to
strong
magnetic
field
s,
such
as
near
a
broadcasting
an-
tenna,
power
line,
radar
emitter, motor,

products
•
Water
and
Sand
Expo
s
ure
to
water
and
sand
can
also
damage
the
flash

such
as
occur
when
entering a
heat-
ed
building
on
a
cold
day,
can
cause
condensation
inside
the
nash.
If
this
occurs,
turn
the
fl
as
h off
and
wait
for
