Al
kaline or Nickel-Cadmium Batteries?
The major
advantage
of
alkaline
batteries
is that
they
provide
more flashes
per
set.
While nickel-cadmium batteries
wilr
provide
fewer
flashes
per
set,
they will recycle
your
Auto 455
sl
ightly
faster
and
can
be
recharged hundreds
of
times
for
more
economical
operation over the long run.
Using Multi-Voltage
AC Adapter AD-26
or
Sunpak
Powerpak
for
510
V Battery
1.
For
AC
operation,
be
sure to
check that the
voltage
selector
on
your
Multi-Voltage
AC
adapter
is set
to
the
appropriate voltage.
Your
AC Adapter
has
been
factory
set
for
120
V,
the
U.S.
standard.
For
use in other
coun.
tries
where 100 V,
22OV and
24O
V
are standard,
you
may
adjust
the
setting
as
illustrated.
Remove
the
small
Phillips
head
screw
located next
to
voltage
window
and
rotate the
selector
switch
with
a
screw
driver
to
the
proper
voltage
setting.
After
the
voltage
setting
has
been
made,
the
screw
must
be
reinstalled
to
prevent
accidental
movement
of
the selector
switch.
(13)
2.
Plug
into the
AC/High Voltage
socket
on the
flash
and
into standard
wall
outlet
as
illustrated.
The
AC

supplies
virtually unlimited
flashes
and is
ideal
for
indoor
use.
(14)
Note: lf
the Multi-Voltage
AC Adapter is incorrectly
set,
the
adapter will
not
function
properly
and
may
damage
your
Auto

same
manner
as
you
would
with
the
Multi-Voltage
AC

The
Sunpak
Powerpak
for
510
V Battery
allows extreme-
ly rapid
recycle
times and
the
greatest
number of flashes
from
any
portable
power
source.

a
speed
faster
than
1i45Oth
