4.2 Replacing batteries
The batteries are exhausted if the recycling time (elapsing
from the triggering of a full-power flash to the moment the
flash ready indicator lights up again) exceeds 60 seconds.
• Turn off the mecablitz by its main switch.
• Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the
arrow and fold open.
• Insert the batteries lengthwise in conformity with the indi-
cated battery symbols and close the battery compartment
cover.
When loading batteries ensure correct polarity, as
indicated by the symbols in the battery compartment.
Mixed up battery poles may destroy the flash unit!
Replace all batteries at a time and make sure that the
batteries are of the same brand and type and have
the same capacity!
Exhausted batteries must not be thrown in the dustbin!
Help protect the environment and dispose of run-down
batteries at the appropriate collecting points.
4.3 Switching the flash unit on and off
The flash unit is switched on by its main switch. In the right
"ON" position, the mecablitz is on. To turn off the flash unit
reset the main switch to its "OFF" position.
