The flash unit can be operated with any
of the following batteries:
• 4 nickel-metal-hydride batteries 1.2V, type
IEC HR6 (size AA). They have a signifi-

ries 1.5V, type IEC LR6 (size AA).
Maintenance-free power source for
moderate power requirements.
• 4 lithium batteries 1.5V, type IEC FR6
(size AA). Maintenance-free high-
capacity power source with a low self-
