Should there be any, consult your dealer and do not use the device. 
 
To maintain perfect condition and to ensure a safe operation, it is absolutely necessary for the user to 
follow the safety instructions and warning notes contained in this manual. 
 
Please consider that damages caused by manual modifications to the device are not subject to 
warranty. 
 
This device contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer servicing to qualified technicians only. 
 

IMPORTANT: 

The manufacturer will not accept liability for any resulting damages caused by the non-observance of 
this manual or any unauthorized modification to the device. 
 

 

Never let the power cord come into contact with other cables! Handle the power cord and all 
connections with the mains with particular caution! 

 

Never modify, bend, mechanically strain, put pressure on, pull or heat up the power cord. 

 

Never strain the cable insert or the female part in the device. There must always be sufficient cable 
going to the device. Otherwise, the cable will be damaged, which can cause serious damage. 

 

Never remove warning or informative labels from the unit. 

 

Never use anything to cover the ground contact. 

 

Never lift the device holding it by the projector-head, as the mechanics may be damaged. Always 
hold the device by the transport handles. 

 

Never place any material over the LEDs or lens. 

 

Never look directly into the light source. 

 

Never leave any cables lying around. 

 

Never use the device during thunderstorms, unplug the device immediately. 

 

Never leave various parts of the packaging  (plastic bags, polystyrene  foam, nails,  etc.) within 
children’s reach, as they are potential sources of danger.

 

Do not insert objects into air vents. 

 

Do not open the device and do not modify the device.

 

Do not connect this device to a dimmer pack. 

 

Do not switch the device on and off in short intervals, as this will reduce the device’s life. 

 

Do not touch the device’s housing bare-handed during its operation (housing becomes hot). Allow 
the device to cool for at least 5 minutes before handling. 

 

Do not shake the device. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device. 

 

Only operate the device after having checked if the housing is firmly closed and all screws are tightly 
fastened. 

 

Only operate the device after having familiarized with its functions. 

 

Avoid flames and do not put close to flammable liquids or gases. 

 

Always keep the case closed while operating. 

 

Always allow a free air space of at least 50 cm around the unit for ventilation. 

 

Always disconnect power from the mains, when device is not used or before cleaning! Only handle 
the power cord holding it by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power cord. 

 

Make sure that the device is not exposed to extreme heat, moisture or dust. 

 

Make sure that the available voltage is not higher than stated on the rear panel. 

 

Make sure that the power cord is never crimped or damaged. Check the device and the power 
cord from time to time. 

 

Make sure that the core diameter of extension cords and power cords is sufficient for the required 
power consumption of the device. 

 

If the lens or LEDs are obviously damaged, they have to be replaced to prevent its functions from 
being impaired, due to cracks or deep scratches. 

 

If the external cable is damaged, it has to be replaced by a qualified technician.

 

If device was dropped or struck, disconnect mains power supply immediately. Have a qualified 
engineer inspect for safety before operating. 

 

If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not 
switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your device. Leave the 
device switched off until it has reached room temperature.
