ALWAYS
• Always switch power off and disconnect from
the supply before changing modelling bulb or
flash tube.
• Always 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 under the
AC inlet (see page 4).
• Always excercise care when handling equipment
that has been in use. The reflector and front end
of the unit can become Very Hot.
• Always 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
Travelites, all servicing must be carried out by a
Calumet-authorized service center.
• Always remove the power cord by gripping the
plug. NEVER pull the cord.
• Always 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.
DO NOT’S
• Do not use in an environment where moisture or
flammable vapor is likely to come in contact with
the unit.
• Do not plug your Travelite into an AC supply and
a Travel-Pak battery at the same time.
• Do not restrict air vents while in use.
• Do not use a unit with damaged housing,
moldings, flash tube or modeling lamp. If the unit
is dropped or damaged in any way, always have
it checked out before using.
• Do not operate the unit without a safe grounded
AC supply.
