SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Be sure to read and observe the following.)

DANGER

■ Use only the designated accessories.

• The flash power grip has been designed exclusively for use with the FL-50 electronic flash for Olympus digital

cameras. Do not use it with any other type of flash.

• Always use the designated bracket cable and remote grip cable.

• The flash power grip should be powered with C (R14) alkaline batteries only. Do not use any other type of

power supply.

■ Do not use the flash power grip for any purpose other than flash shooting.

■ Never expose this product to water or moisture including rain, seawater and animal urine. Do not handle the

flash power grip when it is wet or when your hands are wet, and do not use it in a damp environment (such as

in a bathroom).

■ Do not insert a metallic object (such as a wire) inside the flash power grip or into a contact.

■ Do not attach solder to the flash power grip or attempt to repair, deform, modify or disassemble it.

■ Do not use a battery that is damaged, leaking, or wet.

■ Do not use or store the flash power grip in a place that may be exposed to high temperatures (for example, on

a car dashboard under direct sunlight or near heating equipment).

■ Do not use the flash power grip in a place where heat may accumulate (for example, under a cushion).

■ Do not use the flash power grip where it may be exposed to flammable gas. Doing so poses a risk of fire or

explosion.

■ Never throw the battery into a fire or put it near a fire.

■ When unplugging a cable, pull it out by grasping the plug, not the cord. Damage to the cord may result in fire

ignition, explosion, damage, battery fluid leak and/or electric shock.

■ Do not use the flash power grip near heat-generating equipment. This could damage the external finish or melt

the coating and result in fire, overheating, explosion, fluid leak or electric shock.

WARNING

■ Do not use the flash power grip, connection cord or battery if it is damaged. To avoid electric shock or injury, do

not touch any exposed internal parts. If the product is damaged, unplug the power cord and do not use it. For

repair, contact Olympus.

■ To avoid fire, overheating, explosion or leakage, do not subject the battery to excessive shock, throw it, or

otherwise damage it.

■ Never put the battery in a microwave oven or high-pressure container. This could cause a fire, leakage, over-

heating, or an explosion.

■ Do not leave the flash power grip within reach of children.

• If a child swallows a battery or small accessory, see a doctor immediately.

• If the flash is emitted near a child, their eyes may be injured irreparably.

• Moving parts of the electronic flash could injure a child.

■ Avoid the following actions to prevent fire or injury due to battery fluid leak, overheating, fire ignition or bursting.

• Do not use batteries that are not specified for use with this flash power grip.

• Do not throw a battery into a fire, expose it to heat, short circuit it, or disassemble it.

• Do not mix old and new batteries, or batteries of different types or brands.

• Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries such as alkaline batteries.

• Do not load batteries with the +/– polarity reversed.

■ Do not store the flash power grip anywhere where it could be exposed to excessive dust or moisture. Other-

wise, fire or electric shock may result.

CAUTION

■ Do not place a heavy object on this product or power cord.

■ Do not place this product on an unstable surface such as a tilted or unsteady table. If it falls off, damage or

injury may result.

■ Do not store or use the flash power grip where it may be exposed to moisture, excessive dust or high tempera-

tures.

■ The batteries become very hot after extended use. Do not remove batteries immediately after use, as this may

result in burns.

■ Remove the batteries when the flash power grip is not going to be used for a long period.

■ Improper use of batteries may result in fluid leak, heat generation and/or damage. Sweat and oil smudges may

cause battery contact failure. To prevent this, remove any stain completely with a dry cloth and insert the

batteries by observing the +/– polarity

■ If battery fluid gets on your skin or clothes, it may cause injury. Wash it off immediately with clean water and

see a doctor.

■ If the battery fluid comes in contact with your eyes, blindness may result. Rinse your eyes with clean water

without rubbing them and see a doctor immediately.

■ Do not apply a strong shock to a battery or throw it.

■ When traveling overseas, it is a good idea to carry spare batteries with you. In some countries, it may be

difficult to obtain certain batteries.

■ Do not immerse batteries in water or expose to moisture including rain, seawater and animal urine.

■ If the +/– terminals of a battery are stained with sweat or oil smudges, contact failure may result. Clean the

terminals well with a dry cloth before using the batteries

■ Do not throw a battery in fire or heat it.

■ When disposing of batteries, be sure to follow local regulations.
