11. Care and maintenance- Troubleshooting

Remove grime and dust with a soft, dry cloth. Do not
use cleaning agents as these could damage the
plastic parts.
Forming the flash capacitor
The flash capacitor incorporated in the flashgun
undergoes a physical change when the flashgun is
not switched on for prolonged periods. For this
reason it is necessary to switch on the flashgun for
approx. 10 minutes every 3 months and to fire a few
flashes The batteries must supply sufficient power to
light up the flash-ready light within one minute after
the flashgun was switched on.
Troubleshooting:
If the flashgun does not work as it should in the
individual modes, then proceed as follows:
•Switch off the flashgun with the main switch.
•Remove the rechargeable or dry-cell batteries for a
brief period, and then load them again.
