PLEASE READ BEFORE CONNECTING FIREFLY!
Congratulations on your purchase of FireFly, the world’s most sophisticated lightning
simulator. For safe operation of your equipment, please pay careful attention to the
following caution statements.
• Do not operate or store in wet locations. Operation in wet locations is hazardous
and water damage is not covered by your warranty.
• Use only with properly grounded 15 or 20 amp, 120 volt outlets. Never use a
ground adapter to avoid grounding this unit. As with most electronic devices, if
using outdoors, a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) outlet or breaker must be
used for your safety.
• FireFly is equipped with an extra long power cord for your convenience. Avoid
using an extension cord if possible. If you must use an extension cord, it should be
a heavy-duty appliance type cord.
• Always use an adequate size grounded cord for connecting your lights sources. If
in doubt about the appropriate size, contact a licensed electrician.
• While connecting FireFly’s power cord to a surge suppressor can protect your
investment from damage due to transient spikes or actual lightning damage, you
must NEVER connect surge protectors to FireFly’s outlets as serious damage to the
unit could occur.
• Replace fuse only with the type and size specified in the manual or on the pack
panel of device. Oversized fuses may damage unit and/or create a fire hazard.
• Do not block air vents on the side (FF-
501/
5
1
1) or rear (FF-201/101) of FireFly.
• Use only with approved light sources. Never exceed the maximum rating per
channel or the total rating of the system. Compact fluorescent lamps are approved
only for use on the dimmer channel. Using strobes other than those recommended
and sold by Lights Alive is at your own risk. Lights Alive will assume no liability
for damage caused by the use of unapproved strobes.
• FireFly is designed to be connected to line-level or earphone audio jacks. Do not
connect directly to speaker terminals without the use of an approved attenuating
adapter, available from Lights Alive.
