IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
CAUTION Failure to observe the instructions marked by this symbol
while handling the product may result in serious bodily injury or damage to
property. Make sure to observe the instructions.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to open, repair, or modify this unit. It contains a high-voltage circuit,
which may cause a fire, electric shock, or serious injury.
Do not use accessories other than those specified by Eastman Kodak Company.
Doing so may cause a fire, electric shock, or other injury.
Do not touch any exposed internal component of the unit if the unit is dropped or
damaged, or if foreign matter enters the unit.
Do not operate the unit near the eyes (especially those of infants).
Flashing the unit near someone’s eyes may cause visual impairment. Make sure
to allow a minimum distance of about 3 ft (1 m) or more from the subject, especially
when taking pictures of infants.
Make sure to install the batteries correctly. When replacing batteries, replace both
old batteries with a pair of new batteries as recommended on page 3 of this manual.
Using batteries of the wrong type or old batteries may result in leakage, heat
buildup, rupture, shortened service life, or loose connections.
Keep the unit away from beverages and other liquids, cosmetics or chemicals.
Spills or splashes of liquid entering the unit may cause a fire, electric shock or
injury.
Do not operate the unit in extremely humid environments, such as a bathroom or
near a humidifier. This may result in a fire, electric shock, or injury.
Do not operate the unit if there is any chance that a flammable or volatile gas is
present.
Do not expose the unit to splashes, sprays, or water droplets.
Do not expose batteries to a very hot environment or excessive heat such as
intense sunlight, fire, etc.
Do not attempt to charge disposable batteries (such as carbon-zinc and alkaline
cells).
Do not place the unit in direct sunlight or where it can be exposed to high humidity.
This can result in excessive humidity inside the unit, which can cause damage to
or failure of the unit.
Do not store the unit in a dusty place; otherwise, subsequent use of the unit may
result in a fire or electric shock.
Do not place the unit in an unstable position; otherwise, the unit may fall or drop
accidentally, causing damage to the unit or personal injury.
Do not clean the unit with benzene or other solvents. This can result in discoloration
or deformation of the unit. Stains or dirt should be removed with a soft dry cloth.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
The flash uses two 1.5V AA batteries (not included) and is compatible with alkaline, NiMH, oxy-alkaline, and most AA rechargeable batteries. We recommend using Kodak NiMH rechargeable digital camera batteries when possible.
1. Slide the power switch to the “OFF” position.
2. Open the battery compartment by sliding the battery
door back slightly toward the rear of the unit to unlatch
it, then flipping down the door.
3. Insert 2 AA size batteries into the battery compartment
according to the polarity indications “+ –”. The flash
will not operate if the batteries are installed incorrectly.
4. Close the battery door. When the unit is switched
on, it will start charging with a slight humming sound
and the Ready Light will come on when charging is
completed.
NOTE: The flash is ready to fire as soon as the Ready
Light is lit. However, full power will not be available
for several seconds. Wait a few seconds after the
Ready Light activates to achieve maximum output.
If it takes longer than 30 seconds for the Ready Light
to come on after the flash is fired in Full Power Mode,
replace the batteries.
CAUTION Turn the flash unit off before
mounting on or detaching from the camera. If it is turned on, the flash unit may
self-fire, or damage to the flash unit may result.
Battery Status
Full Icon is displayed during power-up and upon waking
from the Standby state.
Low Icon is displayed constantly.
Empty Icon blinks constantly.
