| |
| • Acclimatizing: If the unit has been exposed to very cold conditions, sudden exposure |

| |
| In case of a damaged flash tube or a broken security cover the Ringflash must be |
| |
| immediately unplugged from the Ranger Quadra and sent to an authorized Elinchrom |
| |

| |
| If routing across the studio floor cannot be omitted, then it must be ensured that |
| |
| vehicles, ladders, etc do not damage cables. Damaged cables and cases must be |
| |
| immediately replaced by customer service. |
| |
| • The RQ Ringflash ECO may not be used for any other purpose, especially not for |
| |
| other electrical appliances. Use this unit only with the Ranger Quadra Power Pack |
