Safety Notes
DO NOT:
•Use in an environment where moisture or flammable vapour is likely to come in contact with the unit.
•Plug the Gemini Esprit Digital into a mains supply and a battery at the same time.
•Restrict air vents while in use.
•Use a unit with damaged housing, mouldings, flash tube or modelling lamp.
If the unit is dropped or damaged in any way, always have it checked out before using.
DO:
•Read Instructions before use
•Switch power off and disconnect from the supply before changing modelling bulb or flash tube.
•Disconnect the supply before changing the fuse. Never replace with a fuse of a different rating. A spare fuse is fitted in the fuse holder.
•Exercise care when handling equipment that has been in use. The reflector and front end of the unit can become very hot.
•Avoid placing cables where they can be tripped over. Protect from heavy, sharp or hot objects, which may cause damage and replace damaged cables immediately.
•Due to the high voltage / high energy used in all Esprit units, all servicing must be carried out by an authorised Service Centre.
•Remove the power cord by gripping the plug. NEVER pull the cord.
•Ensure that any extension cord used has a suitable current rating to prevent overheating and never use coiled extension cords.
•ALWAYS remove the flash head covers before using.
