SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!

Do not operate the equipment before studying the instruction manual and the accompanying safety 
information. Make sure that Profoto Safety Instructions always accompany the equipment! Profoto 
products are intended for professional use! Generators, lamp heads and accessories are intended for 
indoor photographic use only. Do not place or use the equipment where it can be exposed to moisture, 
extreme electromagnetic fields, or in areas with flammable gases or dust! Do not expose the equipment to 
dripping or splashing. Do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on or near the equipment. 
Do not expose the equipment to rapid temperature changes in humid conditions as this could lead to 
condensation water in the unit. Do not connect this equipment to flash equipment from other brands. 
Do not use flash heads without supplied protective glass covers or protective grids. Glass covers must 
be changed if they have become visibly damaged to such an extent that their effectiveness is impaired, 
for example by cracks or deep scratches. Lamps must be changed if they are damaged or thermally 
deformed. When placing a lamp into the holder ensure not to touch the bulb with bare hands. Equipment 
must only be serviced, modified or repaired by authorized and competent service personnel! Warning - 
The terminals marked with the flash symbol are hazardous when live.

WARNING – Electrical Shock – High Voltage!

Mains powered generators shall always be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing 
connection! Only use Profoto extension cables! Do not open or disassemble generators or lamp heads! 
Equipment operates with high voltage. Generator capacitors are electrically charged for a considerable 
length of time after being turned off. Do not touch modeling lamps or flash tubes when mounting an 
umbrella metal shaft in its reflector hole. Disconnect the lamp head cable between the generator and 
lamp head when changing the modeling lamp or flash tube! The mains plug or appliance coupler is used 
as disconnect device. The disconnect device shall remain readily operable. Batteries (battery pack or 
batteries installed) shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as direct sunlight, fire, or the like.

Caution – Burn Hazard – Hot Parts!

Do not touch hot parts with bare fingers! Modeling lamps, flash tubes and certain metal parts emit strong 
heat when used! Do not point modeling lamps or flash tubes too close to people. All lamps may on rare 
occasions explode and throw out hot particles! Make sure that the rated voltage for the modeling lamp 
corresponds with the technical data in the user guide regarding the power supply!

NOTICE – Equipment Overheating Risk

Remove transport cap from lamp head before use! Do not obstruct ventilation by placing filters, diffusing materials, 
etc. over inlets and outlets of the equipment ventilation or directly over glass covers, modeling lamps or flash tubes!

Note about RF!

This equipment makes use of the radio spectrum and emits radio frequency energy. Proper care should 
be taken when the device is integrated in systems. Make sure that all specifications within this document 
are followed, especially those concerning operating temperature and supply voltage range. Make sure the 
device is operated according to local regulations. The frequency spectrum this device is using is shared 
with other users. Interference cannot be ruled out.

Final Disposal

Equipment contains electrical and electronic components that could be harmful to the environment. 
Equipment may be returned to Profoto distributors free of charge for recycling according to WEEE. Follow 
local legal requirements for separate disposal of waste, for instance WEEE directive for electrical and 
electronic equipment on the European market, when product life has ended!
