• This set includes a mirror ball and pin spot for use at home, on stages, in discotheques, in theatres etc.
  • The VDLPROM11 should only be used indoors with an alternating current of 230 VAC, 50 Hz.
• Lighting effects are not designed for permanent operation: regular operation breaks will prolong their lives.
• Do not shake the device. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.
• Select a location where the device is protected against extreme heat (see "7. Technical Specifications"), dust and moisture. Respect a minimum distance of 0.5m between the device's light output and any illuminated surface.
  • Use an appropriate safety cable to fix the device (e.g. VDLSC7 or VDLSC8).
• Familiarise yourself with the functions of the device before actually using it. Do not allow operation by unqualified people. Any damage that may occur will most probably be due to unprofessional use of the device.
• Use the original packaging if the device is to be transported.
  • All modifications of the device are forbidden for safety reasons.
• Only use the device for its intended purpose. All other uses may lead to short circuits, burns, electroshocks, lamp explosion, crash, etc. Using the device in an unauthorised way will void the warranty.
