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 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. Do not use flashtubes with broken, cracked or missing glass envelopes.

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 out of warranty to a

factory authorized service agent or return to factory. If the monolight is under

warranty, return it to the factory only. This will assure the continuation of the

warranty.

9. Do not operate when water is present and from extreme temperature shifts.

If the unit is stored in hot or below freezing temperatures, allow at least one

hour at room temperature before using.
