General safety instructions
Safety Precautions!
Do not operate the equipment before studying the Quick Start and Safety Guide and the User Guide. Make
sure that the Quick Start and Safety Guide is always accessible to the user! Profoto products are intended
for indoor condition use! 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. Should any
water or pollutants such as ash, dust or insects end up in the product, do not touch the equipment. Contact
Profoto service! Do not expose the equipment to hasty temperature changes in humid conditions as this
could lead to condensation water in the unit. Do not modify, disassemble, open, drop, crush, puncture, heat
above 60°C (140°F), incinerate, or shred battery. Keep batteries (battery pack or battery installed) away from
open flame or sunlight to prevent heat build-up. Risk of fires and burns, rupture and explosion, electrolyte
leakage and/or venting. The emissions are toxic. Provide for good ventilation in case of leakage and/or
ventilation. Move exposed persons to fresh air and seek medical attention. Do not short-circuit the battery
or its cells. In the event of a cell leaking, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes. In case
of contact with skin or eyes: flush immediately with fresh water and seek medical attention. Stop using the
battery if it becomes hot, discoloured, or deformed. Do not connect lights, or use light shaping tools, from
other manufacturers. The front lens shall be changed if it has become visibly damaged to such an extent
that their effectiveness is impaired, for example by cracks or deep scratches. It is unavoidable that the type
of capacitor used in flash products can sometime break. If this should happen a sharp smell may emit from
the flash product along with smoke. Avoid getting the emission in the face. If the emissions should get in
the eyes or mouth, rinse with water. The emission is nontoxic. Rinse with water and soap if you get leaking
electrolyte on skin. Do not ingest the electrolyte. When using a stand, always make sure that the equipment is
securely attached. Remove transport cap from lamp head before use! Never install the product in a confined
space. Always leave a space around the product for ventilation, do not cover any ventilation openings! Do
not obstruct ventilation by placing filters, diffusing materials, etc. over inlets and outlets of the equipment
ventilation or directly over glass cover, modelling lamp or flash tube!
WARNING – Electrical Shock Hazard – High Voltage!
Do not attempt to repair this product yourself, as opening or removing screwed covers may expose you
to the risk of electric shock. Equipment must only be serviced, modified, or repaired by authorized and
competent service personnel! Warning - The terminals marked with the flash symbol are hazardous live.
Do not open or disassemble flashes, generators, or lamp heads! Equipment operates with high voltage.
The flashes, generators or lamp heads can contain hazardous live, for a considerable time, even when
powered off and / or the battery has been removed. The charger mains cable and plug serve as the
disconnect device from mains power. Always disconnect the charger from the mains outlet by pulling
the plug, not the cable. The socket outlet should be near the equipment and should be easily accessible.
Never operate the equipment without a functioning flash tube and / or modelling light.
Caution – Burn Hazard – Hot Parts!
Do not touch hot parts with bare fingers! Modeling lamps and flash tubes may make certain metal parts,
front lenses or glass covers emit strong heat when used! All lamps may on rare occasions explode and
throw out hot particles! Do not point modelling lamps or flash tubes too close to persons.
