The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electrical shock. The exclamation mark within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance instructions. CAUTION – HIGH VOLUME LEVELS WITH AUDIO PRODUCTS! This equipment is intended for professional use. Therefore, commercial use of this equipment is subject to the respectively applicable national accident prevention rules and regulations. As a manufacturer, Adam Hall is obligated to notify you formally about the existence of potential health risks. Hearing damage due to high volume and prolonged exposure: When in use, this product is capable of producing high sound-pressure levels (SPL) that can lead to irreversible hearing damage in performers, employees, and audience members. For this reason, avoid prolonged exposure to volumes in excess of 90 dB.

CAUTION! IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LIGHTING PRODUCTS

1. Do not look into the beam from a distance of less than 40 cm.

2. Do not stare into the beam for extended periods at short-to-medium distances.

3. Do not view the beam directly with optical instruments such as magnifiers.6

Turning the knob to the left decreases the volume; turning it to the right increases the volume. To avoid hearing damage, set the volume to minimum before using the earphones/head- phones, then slowly increase the volume. Caution: high volume can cause permanent hearing damage.
