    • Electric Shock Warning: There is a high voltage capacitor on the DC PCB board which powers the flash. It is recommended that you use a capacitor discharge tool to ensure the capacitor is fully discharged before proceeding with this guide.

    • Using a JIS #000 screwdriver, unscrew the two 4.9mm JIS screws which are located underneath the flash.
