• The LED light unit and parts around it may get hot and burn you.
• When the ring light is used in low-temperature conditions, battery performance
is reduced. For example, lighting time becomes shorter than at room temperature
(about
25
°C) and charging time becomes longer. We recommend having new
spare batteries available. However, batteries whose performance has dropped due
to low temperature are restored when they are returned to room temperature.
• Do not leave or store the ring light in temperatures exceeding 60 °C. Doing so
may harm the internal structure of the ring light.
(Take particular care not to leave the ring light in a car during summer.)
• A camera placed on a table with the ring light attached will be unstable. Handle
carefully.
• Do not pick up the camera by the ring light attached. The camera may fall.
• Do not pull the cable connecting the ring part and operating part. This cable is
fixed.
Cleaning
Remove the ring light from camera. Clean the ring light with a dry soft cloth.
In case of stubborn stains, use a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent
solution, then wipe the unit clean with a dry soft cloth.
Never use strong solvents, such as thinner, benzine or alcohol, as these damage the
surface finish.

temperature
(25
°C)).
