After using the SB-30 near saltwater, wipe the SB-30 with a soft, clean cloth slightly moistened with plain water to remove salt, and then dry it using a dry cloth. Storage • Store the SB-30 in a cool, dry place to prevent malfunctions, due to high humidity, as well as the growth of mold or mildew. • Keep the SB-30 away from chemicals such as camphor or naphthalene. • Do not use or leave the SB-30 in locations subject to high temperatures such as those encountered near a heater or stove, as this may cause damage to the unit. • When not using the SB-30 for more than two weeks, be sure to remove the battery before storage to prevent malfunction due to battery leakage. • Take the SB-30 out about once a month, insert the battery, and fire the unit several times to reform the capacitor. Operating location • An extreme temperature change can cause condensation inside the SB-30. When taking the SB-30 to a very hot place from a very cold place or vice versa, place it inside an airtight container such as plastic bag. inside for a while, then expose the SB-30 gradually to the outside temperature. • Avoid exposing the SB-30 to strong magnetism or radio waves from TVs or high-voltage power transmission towers, as this may cause it to malfunction. • While the SB-30's flash mode is set to wireless slave flash, the flash unit may accidentally fire in locations containing flickering fluorescent lights.

• Avoid exposing the SB-30 to strong magnetism or radio
waves from TVs or high-voltage power transmission
towers, as this may cause it to malfunction.
• While the SB-30’s flash mode is set to wireless slave
flash, the flash unit may accidentally fire in locations
containing flickering fluorescent lights.
Install one 3V lithium battery (CR123A or DL123A).
• Replace the battery in advance or carry extra batteries
with you when photographing important events.
• Use a dry cloth to clean the battery terminals if they
become soiled by perspiration or oils from your hand.
Dirty contacts may cause a bad connection.
Use a fresh battery at low temperatures
• The SB-30 may not work correctly when using an
exhausted battery at low temperatures.
• Battery power tends to weaken as the temperature
drops, resulting in slower recycling times and reduced
number of flashes. Battery power may recover when the
temperature returns to normal.
• Use a fresh battery, or keep spare batteries warm and
