Laser Safety Notes
STOP AND READ ALL THE LASER SAFETY NOTES BELOW Laser light is different from any other light. Laser light can cause eye injury if the product is not set up and used properly. Laser light is a thousand times more concentrated than any other kind of light. This concentration can cause instant eye injuries by burning the retina (the light-sensitive portion at the back of the eye). The heat from a laser light cannot be felt, but it can still injure or blind product operators and the audience. Even very small amounts of laser light at long distances are are potentially hazardous.
DO NOT assume that exposure to an individual laser beam is safe, even a tiny beam split off from a larger beam. This laser product uses dozens of milliwatts of laser power—Class 3B levels internally—and splits them into multiple beams—Class 3R levels. The individual Class 3R level beams are potentially hazardous to the eyes. DO NOT assume that a moving laser light is safe. Laser light is never without risk. Since eye injuries can occur instantly, it is critical to prevent the possibility of ANY direct eye exposure. According to laser safety regulations, it is not legal to aim Class 3R lasers into areas where people can be exposed, even if the laser is aimed below people’s faces, such as at a dance floor.

• Do not operate the laser without first reading and understanding all the safety and technical data in this manual.
• ALWAYS set up and install all laser effects so that any laser light is at least 3 meters (9.8 feet) above the floor on which people are standing. See the Proper Usage section of this manual.
• After setup, and prior to public use, test the lasers to ensure they are functioning properly. Do not use the product if any defect is detected.
• DO NOT use laser if it is emitting only one or two beams, rather than dozens/hundreds, as this indicates damage to the diffraction grating optic, and allows emission of laser levels higher than Class 3R.
• DO NOT point lasers at people or animals.
• DO NOT look into the laser aperture or laser beams.
• DO NOT point lasers into areas where people could be exposed to them..
• DO NOT point lasers at highly reflective surfaces such as windows, mirrors, and shiny metal. Even laser reflections can be hazardous.
• Never point a laser at aircraft; this is a U.S. federal offense.
• Never point un-terminated laser beams into the sky.
• Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to harsh cleaning chemicals.
• Do not use the laser if the housing is damaged, open, or if the optics appear damaged in any way.
• Never open the laser housing. The high laser power levels inside of the protective housing can start fires or burn skin, and will cause instant eye injury.
• Never leave this product running unattended.
• The operation of a Class 3R laser show is allowed only if the lasers are operated by a skilled and well-trained professional, who is familiar with the data included in this manual.
• The legal requirements for using laser entertainment products vary from country to country. The user is responsible for the legal requirements in the location/country of use.

CAUTION! Do not operate this device in ways not specified in this User Manual. Failure to follow the instructions will void the warranty, may damage the product, or injure the user or the audience.

CAUTION! This product cannot be discarded with household waste. Contact your local waste management service for electronic disposal regulations in your area.

If you are located outside the U.S., UK, Ireland, Mexico, or Benelux, contact your distributor of record and follow their instructions on how to return CHAUVET® products to them. Visit our website www.chauvetlighting.com for contact details. Call the corresponding Chauvet Technical Support office and request a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number before shipping the product. Be prepared to provide the model number, serial number, and a brief description of the cause for the return. Send the merchandise prepaid, in its original box, and with its original packing and accessories. Chauvet will not issue call tags. Clearly label the package with the RMA number. Chauvet will refuse any product returned without an RMA number. Write the RMA number on a properly affixed label. DO NOT write the RMA number directly on the box. Before sending the product, clearly write the following information on a piece of paper and place it inside the box:

• Your name
• Your address
• Your phone number
• RMA number
• A brief description of the problem

Be sure to pack the product properly. Any shipping damage resulting from inadequate packaging will be your responsibility. FedEx packing or double- boxing are recommended. Chauvet reserves the right to use its own discretion to repair or replace returned product(s).
