RISK OF EXPLOSIONS!
Do not flash directly into eyes from a clo-
se distance! Direct flashing into the eyes
of persons or animals can cause damage
to the retina and severe disruption of the
vision – up to and including permanent
blindness!
Never use a flash unit to photograph car,
bus, bicycle, motorbike or train drivers
while they are driving. Blinding the driver
can lead to an accident!
If the housing has been damaged in such
a way that internal components are
exposed, the flash unit may no longer be
used. Remove the batteries! Do not
touch any internal components.
HIGH VOLTAGE!
After repeated flashing, do not touch the
diffuser. Risk of burns!
