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.

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.
