Do not mix battery types or brands or use old with new batteries. · When installing batteries, turn off the power of the Speedlight and never reverse the polarity of the batteries. · If the battery terminals become soiled, remove dirt and smudges before use, as this may cause contact failure. · Battery power tends to weaken as the temperature drops. It also gradually decreases when batteries are not used for a long time and recovers after a short break following intensive use. Be sure to check battery power and replace the batteries with fresh ones if you notice any delays in the recycling time. · Do not store batteries in locations subject to high temperatures and high humidity. · Because flash photography consumes a large amount of battery power, batteries may not operate fully before reaching the end of their stated lifespan or number of charges as specified by the battery manufacturer.

Do not apply strong physical shocks to the unit, as this could cause a malfunction that could cause the unit to explode or catch on fire. 4. Never use active agents that contain flammable substances such as paint thinner, benzene or paint remover to clean the unit, and never store the unit in locations containing chemicals such as camphor and naphthalene, as this could damage the unit, cause a fire or cause an electric shock. 5. Remove any batteries from the unit before storing the unit for a long time to prevent the unit from catching on fire or leaking corrosive liquids. En WARNINGS for Batteries 1. If corrosive liquids seep from the batteries and get in your eyes, immediately wash your eyes with running water and consult with a doctor. Your eyes could be seriously damaged if they are not treated quickly. 2. If corrosive liquids seep from the batteries and come in contact with your skin or clothes, wash immediately with running water. Prolonged contact could injure your skin. 3. Never heat or throw batteries into a fire, as this could cause the batteries to leak corrosive liquids, generate heat or explode. 4. Do not short-circuit or disassemble the batteries because this could cause the batteries to leak corrosive liquids, generate heat or explode. 5. Do not mix battery types, brands or old and new batteries, as this could cause the batteries to leak corrosive liquids, generate heat or explode. 6. Do not install batteries in the reverse direction as this could cause the batteries to leak corrosive liquids, generate heat or explode. 7. Be sure to use the battery charger specified by the battery maker to avoid the possibility of batteries leaking corrosive liquids, generating heat or exploding. Do not charge batteries installed in the reverse direction or heated, as this could cause the batteries to leak corrosive liquids, generate heat or explode. 8. Do not carry or store batteries along with metallic materials such as necklaces or hair pins because such materials could cause the batteries to short-circuit, leak corrosive liquids, generate heat or explode. 9. Be sure to use only batteries specified in this instruction manual, to avoid the possibility of batteries leaking corrosive liquids, generating heat or exploding. 10. Always follow the warnings and instructions printed on the batteries to avoid activities that could cause the batteries to leak corrosive liquids, generate heat or explode. 11. Never open the casing surrounding batteries or use batteries whose casing has been breached as such batteries could leak corrosive liquids, generate heat or explode. 13 For your safety 12. Keep batteries out of the reach of children to help avoid the possibility of them being swallowed. If a battery is accidentally swallowed, immediately consult with a doctor. 13. Batteries should not be submerged in water, exposed to rain, moisture or saltwater. If water or moisture gets inside the batteries, this could cause them to leak corrosive liquids or generate heat. 14. Do not use any battery that appears abnormal in any way, including a change in color or shape. Such batteries could leak corrosive liquids or generate heat. 15. Stop recharging rechargeable batteries if you notice that recharging is not completed within the specified time to help prevent the possibility of the battery leaking corrosive liquids or generating heat. 16. When recycling or disposing of batteries, be sure to insulate their terminals with tape. If the battery's positive and negative terminals shortcircuit after coming into contact with metallic objects, it could cause fire, heat generation or an explosion. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local government regulations. 17. Non-rechargeable batteries such as alkaline-manganese, lithium and OxyrideTM batteries should never be charged in a battery charger because they could leak corrosive liquids or generate heat. 18. Remove dead batteries from your equipment immediately, as they could leak corrosive liquids, generate heat or explode. 19. Do not apply strong physical shocks to batteries, as this could cause the batteries to leak corrosive liquids, generate heat or explode. En 14 En 15 Preparation Thank you for purchasing the Nikon High-performance Battery Pack SD-9. The SD-9 is an external power source for the Nikon Speedlight SB-900. You can install four or eight AA-type batteries in the SD-9 to ensure a stable power supply for the SB-900, and can get a greatly increased number of flashes and a shortened recycling time. Please read this user's manual as well as the manuals provided with your camera and Speedlight before use. En Compatible Speedlight Nikon Speedlight SB-900 Nomenclature 1 2 3 7 4 5 1 Tripod socket 2 Power cord 3 3-pin plug 4 Battery case 5 Lock release buttons 6 Ready-lights 7 Soft case SS-SD9 (supplied) 8 Camera attach screw (supplied) 6 8 Usable batteries Use the same type of four or eight AA-type penlight batteries of any of the following types. Alkaline-manganese (1.5 V) OxyrideTM (1.5 V) Lithium (1.5 V) Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) (1.2 V) 16 Insert batteries For the SD-9, use one or two set(s) of four AA-type batteries. · Use batteries of the same type and brand for a set. Inserting the batteries Slide the battery case while pressing the lock release buttons at the edge of the battery case. En Install batteries according to the illustration inside the battery case. · Insert battery from the ­ pole. · To remove a battery, push it from the flip side of the battery case. Insert four or eight batteries. B · Insert the batteries of same type and brand for the both A and B sets. A Push the battery case until it stops with a click. 17 How to use the SD-9 Hooking the SD-9 up to the SB-900 Plug the 3-pin plug of the SD-9's power cord into the SB-900's external power source terminal. En Ready-light · Each of two ready-lights (A and B) lights up for each circuit. · When the SB-900's power is on, the SD-9 starts to charge the power in sync with the SB-900, and the ready-light lights up in red. The ready-light goes off when the power charge is completed. · The ready-light blinks in red when there is danger of the SD-9 overheating because of its repeating flash operation (power charge does not start). It stops blinking when the SD-9 is cooled down to normal temperature (power charge is available). B A Casing the power cord Case the SD-9's power cord to the SD-9 body as shown in the figure. 18 Attach the SD-9 to the camera Insert the supplied camera attach screw to the SD-9's tripod socket. En Rotate the camera attach screw according to the screw thread of the tripod socket. v Notes on SD-9's tripod socket · SD-9's tripod socket has a screw thread. Rotate the camera attach screw while inserting it to the tripod socket to avoid to damaging the thread. · Follow the same procedure when unscrewing the camera attach screw from the tripod socket. Insert the camera attach screw to the camera's tripod socket and fix both SD-9 and camera using the screw. 19 Specifications Major specifications in combination with the SB-900 Batteries Min. recycling time (approx.)*1 Min. number of flashes*2/ recycling time*1 En AA-type Alkaline-manganese × 4 1.9 sec.
