SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Despite the measures that have been taken to make electronic flash
equipment safe, it must be recognized that high voltages and high
temperatures do exist within the power supply / lighting unit. Certain
precautions must be observed in handling the unit.
Contact with internal high voltage may result in severe injury or death.
1. Before installing or removing the flashtube and modeling
lamp, be sure this appliance is turned off, cooled and
unplugged from AC power source.
2. Do not touch the glass tubes with bare hands, as normal
body oils will shorten the bulb’s life. Always use a clean
cloth or wear gloves to protect your hand from glass
breakage and heat.
3. Do not defeat the purpose to the three-wire line cord by
disconnecting the ground. Connect to properly functioning
and grounded 3-pin receptacles only. If you are using an
extension cord, be sure the cord has an equivalent or
greater rating and has a ground.
4. Do not insert a screwdriver or other metal objects into the
flashtube socket area or vents. Contact with high voltage
may result.
5. Do not operate this appliance with a frayed or damaged
line cord. When replacing or using the unit with an
extension cable, be sure the cable has an equivalent or
greater rating and is a properly connected 3-wire
grounded cable.
6. Do not attempt to use this appliance if it has been dropped
or damaged, until a qualified service person has serviced
it.
7. Do not operate the unit with a damaged or broken
flashtube or modeling lamp. To prevent damage always
use Photogenic specified replacements for the flashtubes
and modeling lamps.
8. Perform no internal service work on this unit. Refer all
such service to a qualified service person or return to the
factory. This will provide you safety and continuation of
your warranty.
9. Do not operate when water is present (including ocean
salt spray) and from extreme temperature shifts. If the
unit is stored in hot or below freezing temperatures, allow
at least one hour at room temperatures before using.
