Trouble Shooting
Fixture Cleaning:
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and exter-
nal optical lenses and mirror should be carried out periodically to
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environ-
ment in which the fixture operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust,
dew). In heavy club use we recommend cleaning on a monthly basis.
Periodic cleaning will ensure longevity, and crisp output.
1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the out-
side casing.
2. Use a brush to wipe down the cooling vents and fan grill.
3. Clean the external optics and mirror with glass cleaner and a soft
cloth every 20 days.
4. Clean the internal optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every
30-60 days.
5. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the unit
back in.
Trouble Shooting:
Listed below are a few common problems that you may encounter,
with solutions.
No light output from the unit;
1. Be sure you have connected your unit into a standard 120V wall
outlet.
2. Be sure the external fuse has not blown. The fuse is located on
the bottom panel of the unit.
3. Remove the lamp cover and be sure the lamp is seated in its
socket properly. Occasionally lamps become loose during ship-
ping be sure the lamp is push in to its socket all the way.
4. Be sure the fuse holder is completely and properly seated.

Tapping on the microphone, quiet or high pitched sounds may
not activate the unit.

Warning:
If, after replacing the lamp or fuse either one continues
to blow, STOP using the unit. Contact customer support for further
instructions, you may have to return the unit for servicing. Continuing
to use the unit may cause serious damage.
Fuse Replacement:
Disconnect the unit’s main power sup-
ply. Insert a standard flat head screw driver in to the fuse holder
housing. Turn the screwdriver in counter-clockwise direction
to remove the fuse holder. Remove the fuse holder to expose
the fuse. Remove the old fuse and discard it. Replace the fuse
with the same type. Insert the fuse holder back into it’s hous-
ing and turn it in clockwise direction to lock the holder in place.
Lamp Replacement:
Caution! Never attempt to change the lamp
while the fixture is plugged in. Always disconnect the main power and
allow the unit ample time to cool before attempting to replace the
lamp. Lamp replacement has been made simple by incorporating the
use of a flip-up front cover that is retained by thumb screws.

Halogen Lamp Warning
This fixture is fitted with halogen lamps which
are highly susceptible to damage if improp-
erly handled. Never touch the lamps with your
bare fingers as the oil from your hands will
shorten lamp life. Also, never move the fixture
until the lamps have had ample time to cool.
Remember, lamps are not covered under war-
ranty conditions.
