GETTING STARTED
What’s In The Box?
• 1 x wiCICLE™ Wireless DMX Transceiver
• An AC power adaptor (5VDC, 1000ma)
Getting It Out Of The Box
The wiCICLE Wireless DMX system is a teeny-tiny, really powerful, really useful tool for
decableifying your existence. Just think, no more becoming wrapped from head to toe
in DMX cables and struggling to escape for hours on end. Whew! Well, now that you’ve
got your wiCICLE™, you should carefully unpack the box and check the contents to en-
sure that all parts are present and in good condition. If anything looks as if it has been
damaged in transit, notify the shipper immediately and keep the packing material for
inspection. Again, please save the carton and all packing materials. If a fi xture must be
returned to the factory, it is important that the fi xture be returned in the original factory
box and packing.
Powering Up! PLEASE READ THIS SECTION
The wiCICLE™ can be powered using the included AC power adaptor (“Wall-Wart,”) or
directly via Blizzard Lighting products which are labelled as “wiCICLE Enabled.” These
fi xtures employ special circuitry which allows the wiCICLE™ to receive power directly
from the XLR connector body. Look for this logo on select fi xtures:
• ONLY fi xtures bearing this logo are certifi ed for
use with the wiCICLE™ without external power.
• Unauthorized modifi cation and/or using
the wiCICLE™ with unapproved fi xtures may
cause damage to the wiCICLE™ or fi xture.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS BLIZZARD
LIGHTING RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE
FROM SUCH OPERATION.
• Fixtures bearing the above logo MUST only use cable and connectors which separate
chassis/case ground from cable shielding. Cabling with the shield connected to the con-
nector’s case/chassis may cause malfunction and damage to the wiCICLE™ or fi xture.
• All fi xtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and cannot be run off a
rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer
channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch.
Please carefully read and understand the instructions in this manual thoroughly
before attempting to operate this unit. These instructions contain important
safety information regarding the use and maintenance of this unit. Please keep
this manual with the unit, for future reference.
