16 Care and maintenance

• The screen surface should only be cleaned

with a soft, dry cleaning cloth (e.g. microfi-

bre cloth).

• If significant soiling nevertheless occurs,

the screen surface can be cleaned with a

slightly moist soft cloth.

Never spray cleaning fluid on the surface

of the screen! If cleaning fluid penetrates

into the frame of the screen, the compo-

nents there will be damaged beyond

repair.

16.1 Firmware updates

The firmware version (V.10 in the example) of

the flash unit is shown in the start screen

after switching on.

The flash unit’s firmware can be updated

through the USB port  and adjusted to the

technical requirements of future cameras

(Firmware Update).

For more information, visit the Metz homepa-

ge at www.metz.de.

16.2 Conditioning the flash capacitor

The flash capacitor built into the flash unit

undergoes a physical change when the

device has not been used for a long time.

For this reason it is necessary to switch the

device every three months for approx.

10 mins. The power supplies must deliver

enough power so that flash standby lights up

no later than 1 min after switching on.

16.3 Reset

The flash unit can be reset to the factory set-

tings when delivered.

Setting procedure

• Press the  button as often as it takes

for the selection menu to appear.

• Press the sensor button on the

touch display.

• Press the sensor button on the touch

display.

• Press the sensor button on the touch

display.

All settings are adopted immediately and

the flash unit is reset to its factory settings.

This will not affect the firmware updates for

the flash unit!
