General safety instructions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!
Do not operate the equipment before studying the instruction manual and the accompanying safety
information. Make sure that Profoto Safety Instructions always accompany the equipment! Profoto
products are intended for professional use! Generators, lamp heads and accessories are intended for
indoor photographic use only. Do not place or use the equipment where it can be exposed to moisture,
extreme electromagnetic fields, or in areas with flammable gases or dust! Do not expose the equipment
to dripping or splashing. Do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on or near the
equipment. Do not expose the equipment to rapid temperature changes in humid conditions as this
could lead to condensation water in the unit. Do not connect this equipment to flash equipment from
other brands. Do not use flash heads without supplied protective glass covers or protective grids. Glass
covers must be changed if they have become visibly damaged to such an extent that their effectiveness

is impaired, for example by cracks or deep scratches. Lamps must be changed if they are damaged
or thermally deformed. When placing a lamp into the holder ensure not to touch the bulb with bare
hands. Equipment must only be serviced, modified or repaired by authorized and competent service
personnel! Warning - The terminals marked with the flash symbol are hazardous when live.
WARNING – Electrical Shock – High Voltage!
Mains powered generators shall always be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing
connection! Only use Profoto extension cables! Do not open or disassemble generators or lamp heads!
Equipment operates with high voltage. Generator capacitors are electrically charged for a considerable
length of time after being turned off. Do not touch modeling lamps or flash tubes when mounting an
umbrella metal shaft in its reflector hole. Disconnect the lamp head cable between the generator and
lamp head when changing the modeling lamp or flash tube! The mains plug or appliance coupler is used
as disconnect device. The disconnect device shall remain readily operable. Batteries (battery pack or
batteries installed) shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as direct sunlight, fire, or the like.
Caution – Burn Hazard – Hot Parts!
Do not touch hot parts with bare fingers! Modeling lamps, flash tubes and certain metal parts emit strong
heat when used! Do not point modeling lamps or flash tubes too close to people. All lamps may on rare
occasions explode and throw out hot particles! Make sure that the rated voltage for the modeling lamp
corresponds with the technical data in the user guide regarding the power supply!
NOTICE – Equipment Overheating Risk
Remove transport cap from lamp head before use! Do not obstruct ventilation by placing filters, diffusing materials,
etc. over inlets and outlets of the equipment ventilation or directly over glass covers, modeling lamps or flash tubes!
Note about RF!
This equipment makes use of the radio spectrum and emits radio frequency energy. Proper care
should be taken when the device is integrated in systems. Make sure that all specifications within this
document are followed, especially those concerning operating temperature and supply voltage range.
Make sure the device is operated according to local regulations. The frequency spectrum this device
is using is shared with other users. Interference cannot be ruled out.
Final Disposal
Equipment contains electrical and electronic components that could be harmful to the environment.
Equipment may be returned to Profoto distributors free of charge for recycling according to WEEE.
Follow local legal requirements for separate disposal of waste, for instance WEEE directive for electrical
and electronic equipment on the European market, when product life has ended!
