Important Precautions
Turn the power o and unplug the power cord when the flash is not in use.
We recommend charging the flash unit for one to two hours prior to its initial use
and after an extended period of inactivity (more than two weeks).
If the unit is left unused for a few months, or the unit has been used
predominantly at low power settings, we recommend that the power be increased
to the maximum and the unit left switched on (with the modeling lamp OFF)
occasionally for at least 30 minutes to help preserve the life of the capacitors.
Avoid rapid, high-power flashing, especially when using restrictive reflectors such
as snoots or grids. Excessive heat will shorten the lifespan of your flash unit,
modeling lamp, and flashtube.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the unit. Only qualified service
engineers should access the inside of the case since high-voltage parts
inside are dangerous. Avoid damage to both the flashtube and modeling
lamp. If the modeling lamp or flashtube become cracked or damaged in any
way, they should be replaced immediately. Do not use your flash unit in an
environment where moisture or flammable vapor is likely to come in contact
with the unit. Turn the power o and unplug the power cord when the unit is
not in use. Always remove the modeling lamp and replace the protective cap
when transporting the unit.
