Notes on use

•A prolonged period of storage or non-use will lower the voltage of the battery set (NC-200) due to self discharge. Always keep the battery set (NC-200) fully charged especially before storage and prolonged periods of non-use.

•Never use damaged or broken cord.

•Short circuiting the battery's terminal with the charger's plug may cause overheat and damage the battery set.

•The battery pack (NC-200) is restricted to use for this unit. Never use it with other products.

•Avoid overdischarging the lighting system, e.g., switch it on until power completely run off. It will shorten the battery life.

•Never charge the lighting system over 10 hours.

•If the lighting system does not serve the proper running time on fully charged battery, the battery will have to be re- placed. Replace with a new battery set (NC-200).

•The beam heads' temperature is very high when the system is switched on and right after it is switched off. Be careful not to get burnt by the heat.
