Fig.2a: Battery changing Fig.2b: Opening the battery housing

(only with BAT-version, otherwise optional extra)

2.2 Power supply

The flashgun can be operated with:

• Alkaline manganese batteries, size IEC LR 6 (AA-type) (only with BAT-version, otherwise optional extra)

•

Metz NiCad battery pack 45-40 (only if NiCad is featured; otherwise available as an optional

accessory). A charger (see table 2, page 25) is included with the flashgun if NiCad is featured).

• Power Pack P 50 (optional accessory)

• Mains unit N 22 or N 23 (optional accessories)

2.3 Battery replacement

Press the two locking keys of the battery housing, and pull out of the flashgun (fig. 2a). To

return the battery housing press the two locking keys together and press into the handle-

mount grip of the flashgun until it audibly engages.

2.3.1 Exchanging the batteries

Press together the smooth locking keys of the dismantled battery housing (only with BAT-ver-

sion, otherwise optional extra) and remove the lid (fig. 2b). Insert new batteries in conformity

with the polarity symbols indicated in the base of the housing. Return the lid and lock in again.

Spent batteries must not be thrown into the domestic waste! Help keep the

environment clean and discard spent batteries at corresponding collecting points!

The battery housing must not be fitted with NiCad batteries! The contacts

of the bat-

tery housing are only intended for alkaline manganese batteries.

The lower resistance of NiCad batteries means that more current can flow, and this can

damage the flashgun. The NiCad Battery Pack 45-40 has special contacts which do not

allow the flow of high currents.
