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. 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

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.

Make sure that the device is not exposed to extreme heat 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 need to be replaced to prevent their 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
