Power Source
The DÖRR DAF-44 Wi is operated by 4x 1,5V AA alkaline batteries. Alternatively, you can use
rechargeable NiMH or Li-Ion batteries of the same size. Note: Rechargeable NiMH and Li-Ion
batteries are more economical and environment friendlier than conventional batteries.
Hints for using Batteries
• Before inserting the batteries into the device, ensure that both contacts of the batteries
and the flash are clean.
• Ensure to always use 4 batteries of the same capacity, manufacturer and of the same type
(AA).
• Never mix batteries and NiMH rechargeable batteries.
• Remove the batteries from the flash when not in use for a longer time period.
• Batteries develop their full power at approx. 20°C. To ensure full power in cold weather as
well, you should protect the flash from coldness (e.g. keep it close to your body).
• Do not throw batteries into open fire. Risk of explosion! Only recharge batteries which are
designed for this purpose (NiMH rechargeable batteries). Risk of explosion
• Used batteries should not be thrown away with domestic waste but should be returned to a
spezialing shop or any other appropriate facility to ensure an environment-friendly disposal.
Inserting the Batteries
• Open the battery cover by sliding it in the direction of the arrow and swing it open. The
power switch must be in OFF position now.
• Insert 4 AA batteries into the compartment. Please refer to the +/- signs in the battery
compartment for correct polarity.
• Close the battery cover and slide it in opposite direction of the arrow.
• Move the power switch to ON. If the batteries are properly inserted, information will appear
on the LC display and the flash ready indicator will light up after a few seconds. You can
now fire a test flash by pushing down the READY/TEST button.
Automatic Power Saving
To conserve the batteries, the DÖRR DAF-44 Wi flash features an automatic power saving
mode. This mode automatically activates approx. 3 minutes after the flash has not been in use.
However, the flash needs to be mounted onto a camera with TTL flash control to activate this
mode. The flash is in stand-by mode now the the display shows OFF. To re-activate the flash,
press the camera's shutter slightly. The flash is now ready to shoot again. Should you plan not
to use the flash for a longer time period, set the power switch to OFF.
