Safety Notes

DO NOT:
• Use in an environment where moisture or flammable vapour is likely to come in contact with the
unit.
• Plug the Gemini Esprit Digital into a mains supply and a battery at the same time.
• Restrict air vents while in use.
• Use a unit with damaged housing, mouldings, flash tube or modelling lamp.
If the unit is dropped or damaged in any way, always have it checked out before using.
DO:
• Read Instructions before use
• Switch power off and disconnect from the supply before changing modelling bulb or flash tube.
• Disconnect the supply before changing the fuse. Never replace with a fuse of a different rating. A
spare fuse is fitted in the fuse holder.
• Exercise care when handling equipment that has been in use. The reflector and front end of the
unit can become very hot.
• Avoid placing cables where they can be tripped over. Protect from heavy, sharp or hot objects,
which may cause damage and replace damaged cables immediately.
• Due to the high voltage / high energy used in all Esprit units, all servicing must be carried out
by an authorised Service Centre.
• Remove the power cord by gripping the plug. NEVER pull the cord.
• Ensure that any extension cord used has a suitable current rating to prevent overheating and
never use coiled extension cords.
• ALWAYS remove the flash head covers before using.
