Disposal Of Batteries - Metz MECABLITZ 54 MZ-4i Bedienungsanleitung

Remedy: Activate automatic focal length adaptation on the mecablitz
(AUTO-ZOOM or CZ) or ensure that the reflector focal length is identical
with, or shorter than, the focal length of the lens.
Example: Focal length of the lens: 70 mm; reflector focal length: 70 mm,
50 mm or shorter! Please refer to the mecablitz operating instructions for
setting details!
(Pe) The power zoom reflector of the mecablitz automatically assumes the
35 mm position, even though a lens with a different focal length is being
used. "Auto-Zoom" is indicated on the mecablitz LC display.
• A non-AF lens, or a lens that does not transmit focal length data to the
camera, is being used. Consequently, the mecablitz automatically assumes
the 35 mm reflector position.
Remedy: Adjust the reflector position of the mecablitz manually to the focal
length of the given lens (see mecablitz operating instructions).
The flash ready indicator in the camera's viewfinder may flash with reflec-
tor focal lengths that are longer than 35 mm, but this is of no consequence
for the subsequent exposure. In this instance please observe the correct
exposure confirmation given by the mecablitz!
The mecablitz does not fire flashes.
• The mecablitz has automatically switched itself off.
• After the mecablitz has been switched on and after automatic switch-off,
tap the camera release button lightly without tripping the shutter to permit
an adaption of the settings required for the picture shooting situation.
The mecablitz was unable to lock into a zoom position and "ZE" is indica-
ted on the mecablitz LC display.
The batteries may be almost exhausted or the power is no longer sufficient to
drive the mechanical operations.
Switch the mecablitz off and then on again and/or replace the exhausted
batteries.

Disposal of batteries

Do not dispose of spent batteries with domestic rubbish.
Please return spent batteries to collecting points should they exist in your
country!
Please return only fully discharged batteries.
Normally, batteries are fully discharged if:
- the device they powered switches itself off and indicates "Spent Batteries".
- they no longer function properly after prolonged use.
To ensure short-circuit safety please cover the battery poles with adhesive
tape.
