F-8Tips on Speedlight Care and Reference InformationFNotes on Batteries• The large amounts of current used by the Speedlight may resultin rechargeable batteries becoming unusable before reaching themanufacturer’s stated recharge/discharge limit.• When replacing the batteries, turn the product off and insert thereplacement batteries in the correct orientation.• Dirt on the battery terminals can interrupt the flow of current. Clean dirtfrom the terminals before inserting the batteries.• After being fired multiple times in quick succession, the Speedlightmay stop operating to allow the batteries to cool depending on batteryspecifications. Normal operation can be resumed once the batterieshave cooled sufficiently.• Batteries tend to lose capacity at low temperatures, recover lost voltagewhen allowed to rest, and slowly discharge when not in use.
