• Remove the batteries from the
unit when you do not intend to
use the unit for a prolonged
period.
• Batteries may be hot
immediately after the unit has
been used. Before removing
them from the unit, turn off the
unit's power and wait until the
temperature of the batteries
has dropped.
.. At low temperatures [under
10°C (50 OF)], the performance
of batteries will deteriorate and
the number of flashes fired by
the unit will be sharply
reduced. The operating
duration of batteries tends to
be shorter particularly when
alkaline dry batteries are used
so warm them in your pocket
before use. When warming
batteries in your pocket, avoid
direct contact with cigarette
lighters and other metal objects
as well as with pocket/body
warmers.
.. The number of flashes fired by
the unit may also be sharply
reduced if the
EB
and
8
electrodes of the batteries are
exposed to oils from the skin or
other forms of dirt. Before
installing the batteries, wipe the
EB
and
8
electrodes carefully
using a soft, dry cloth.
If electrolytes should leak from
the batteries, wipe away all
traces of the electrolyte in the
battery compartment, and then
insert fresh batteries or fully
charged nickel metal hydride
batteries.
If you should get electrolyte on
your hands or clothes, rinse it off
thoroughly with water. If you
should get electrolyte in your
eyes, you risk losing your sight.
In such a case, do not rub your
eyes but immediately wash them
with clean water, and then seek
medical advice.
