• Places exposed to excessive heat, humidity, or extreme variation of
temperature and humidity.
• Places exposed to sand or dust.
• Near a fire.
• Near any volatile materials.
• Near a heater, cooler, or humidifier.
• Places exposed to excessive moisture.
• Places exposed to vibrations.
• Inside a car.

become excessively hot. Do not touch the flash when it is hot.
BATTERY HANDLING
■This flash uses four AA alkaline batteries, AA nickel metal hydride batteries
or AA NiCd batteries. (Olympus brand AA nickel metal hydride batteries are
recommended.)
■Do not use AA manganese batteries or AA lithium batteries. Besides
shortening battery life, manganese batteries may overheat and damage the
camera.
■Use the batteries correctly. Incorrect use of batteries can cause fluid leak,
heat generation, or other damage. When replacing batteries, be sure to
load them correctly.
■The batteries may be temporarily disabled when exposed to cold
temperatures.
Try to keep the flash and batteries warm when using the flash in a cold
environment. Batteries that are weak in cold temperatures will be restored
under normal temperatures.
■Sweat, oil, and so on, can prevent a battery's terminals from making
electrical contact. To avoid this, wipe both terminals before loading the
battery.
■Keep spare batteries on hand when going on a long trip. New batteries may
be difficult or impossible to obtain abroad.
■When using nickel metal hydride batteries or NiCd batteries, make sure to
charge them fully with the correct battery charger.
■Read instructions carefully before handling nickel metal hydride batteries or
NiCd batteries.
