a malfunction. To prevent this, it is recommended to check the operations before using the Macro Flash
System after a long period of storage.
Do not touch the electric contacts of the Macro Flash System to prevent malfunction.
To prevent overheating and deterioration of the light-emitting section, do not continue full activation more than
40 times in a row. After firing the flash 40 times successively, do not use the flash for at least 10 minutes to
allow the light-emitting section to cool down.

All rechargeable batteries must be recharged using the specified battery charger, simultaneously and com-
pletely. Be sure to read the battery and battery charger instruction manual.
Improper use of batteries may result in fluid leak, heat generation and/or damage. Sweat and oil smudges
may cause battery contact failure. To prevent this, remove any stain completely with a dry cloth and insert the
batteries by observing the +/– polarity.
In general, battery performance will be temporarily reduced as the ambient temperature drops. When using
batteries in a cold place, keep them warm by keeping the Macro Flash System in cold protection gear or
clothing.
