Safety instructions

Instrucciones de seguridad

1. Safety instructions

•

The flash unit is exclusively intended and approved for

photographic use!

•

Never fire a flash in the vicinity of flammable gases or

liquids (petrol, solvents, etc.)! DANGER OF EXPLOSION!

•

Never take flash shots of car, bus or train drivers, or of

motorcycle and bicycle riders, whilst they are travelling.

They could be blinded by the light and cause an accident!

•

Never fire a flash in the immediate vicinity of the eyes!

Flash fired directly in front of the eyes of a person or ani-

mal can damage the retina and lead to severe visual disor-

ders - even blindess!

Operating Instructions!

•

Do not expose batteries to excessive heat, sunshine, fire

and the like!

•

Never throw exhausted batteries on to a fire!

Safety instructions

Per vostra sicurezza

Instrucciones de seguridad

• Exhausted batteries should be immediately removed from the

flash unit. Lye leaking out of spent batteries will damage the unit.

•

Never recharge dry-cell batteries!

•

Do not expose the flash unit or battery charger to dripping

or splashing water (such as rain)!

•

Protect the flash unit from excessive heat and humidity! Do

not store the flash unit in the glove compartment of a car!

•

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 reflector screen if this is not observed.

•

Do not touch the reflector screen after a series of flash

shots. Danger of burns!

•

Never disassemble the flashgun! DANGER: HIGH VOLT-

AGE! There are no components inside the flashgun that

can be repaired by a layman.

Safety instructions

Per vostra sicurezza

Instrucciones de seguridad

•

When taking a series of flash shots at full light output and

fast recycling times as provided by NiCad battery opera-

tion, make sure to observe an interval of at least 10 min-

utes after 15 flashes, otherwise the flash unit will be over-

loaded.

•

The mecablitz may only be used in combination with a

camera-integrated flash unit if the latter can completely be

folded out!

•

Quick changes in temperature may cause condensation.

Therefore give the flashgun time to acclimatize!

2.2 Connection to the camera

The mecablitz is triggered via the hot shoe contact in the

camera’s flash shoe.

If the camera’s flash shoe does not have a hot shoe contact

then a synchronising cable (optional accessory) can be used

to establish the link between the camera’s X socket and the

sync socket of the mecablitz.

Please note: The mecablitz must be switched off before

the synchronising cable is plugged in or disconnected.

2.3 Removing the mecablitz from the camera

Turn off the camera and the mecablitz by the main

switch.

• Turn the knurled nut against the mecablitz until the stop

point is reached.

• Withdraw the mecablitz from the camera’s accessory shoe.

3. Power supply

3.1 Suitable batteries

The mecablitz can be operated with any of the following bat-

teries:

• 4 NiCad batteries, type IEC KR 15/51. They permit very

fast recycling and are economical in use because they are

rechargeable.

• 4 nickel metal hydride batteries. They have a significantly

higher capacity than NiCad batteries and are less harmful

to the environment (no cadmium).

• 4 alkaline manganese dry-cell batteries, type IEC LR6.

Maintenance-free power source for moderate power re-

quirements.

Do not use lithium batteries! Their higher cell voltage

may damage the electronic system of the flash unit.

Remove the batteries from the mecablitz if the flash unit is not

going to be used for an extended period of time.
