Safety Instructions - Metz MECABLITZ 28 AF-4 CANON Bedienungsanleitung

• NEVER fire a flash in the immediate vicinity of the
eyes! Flash fired directly in front of the eyes of a
person or animal can damage the retina and lead
to severe visual disorders - even blindness!
• Spent batteries should be immediately removed.
Chemicals leaking out of spent batteries will
damage the flashgun.
• Do not short-circuit rechargeable batteries!
DANGER OF EXPLOSION!
• Dry-cell and rechargeable batteries should not be
exposed to excessive heat, for instance sunshine,
fire and the like!
• NEVER throw spent batteries in a fire!
• Do not expose the flashgun to dripping or splas-
hing water!
• Protect the flashgun against excessive heat and
high humidity levels! Do not keep the flashgun in
the glove compartment of a car!

1. Safety Instructions

• Insert the flashgun base into the camera's acces-
sory shoe and tighten by turning the knurled screw
so that the flashgun cannot slip and fall out!
• In the event of flash shots with full light output and
short recycling times with a rechargeable NiCad
battery, observe an interval of at least 3 minutes
after a series of 20 flashes. This will protect the
flashgun against overload.
• NEVER place material that is impervious to light in
front of, or directly on, the reflector screen. The
reflector screen must be perfectly clean when a
flash is fired. The high energy of the flash light will
burn the material or damage the screen if this is
not observed!
• NEVER dismantle the flashgun! DANGER: HIGH
VOLTAGE! There are no components inside the
flashgun that can be repaired by a layperson.
