16 Care and maintenance

• The screen surface should only be cleaned
with a soft, dry cleaning cloth
(e.g. microfibre cloth).
• If significant soiling nevertheless occurs,
the screen surface can be cleaned with a
slightly moist soft cloth.
Never spray cleaning fluid on the surface
of the screen! If cleaning fluid penetrates
into the frame of the screen, the compo-
nents there will be damaged beyond
repair.

16.1 Firmware updates

The firmware version (V.10 in the example)
of the flash unit is shown in the start screen
after switching on.
The flash unit's firmware can be updated
through the USB port and adjusted to the
technical requirements of future cameras
(Firmware Update).

page at: www.metz-mecatech.de

16.2 Conditioning the flash capacitor

The flash capacitor built into the flash unit
undergoes a physical change when the
device has not been used for a long time.
For this reason it is necessary to switch the
device every three months for approx.
10 mins. The power supplies must deliver
enough power so that flash standby lights up
no later than 1 min after switching on.

16.3 Factory settings (RESET)

The flash unit can be reset to the factory
settings when delivered.
