( Based on new size-AA/LR6 alkaline batteries and Canon's testing standards.
- Be sure to use a new set of two batteries of the same brand. When replacing the batteries, replace batteries at once.
- Do not fire more than 20 continuous flashes in a short time. If you fire more than 20 continuous flashes in a short time, the overheating prevention function may be activated and make the recycling time about 8 to 20 sec. If this occurs. allow a rest time of about 15 min. and the functioning of the flash will then return to normal.
- If you change the batteries after firing flashes continuously, be aware that the batteries might be hot.
- Using size-AA batteries other than the alkaline type may cause improper battery contact due to the irregular shape of the battery contacts.
Size-AA Ni-MH or lithium batteries can also be used.
