Before using the product for the first time

1. Read 'Safety information' on page 3 before installing, operating or servicing the fixture.
2. Unpack and ensure that there is no transportation damage before using the fixture. Do not
attempt to operate a damaged fixture.
3. Before operating, ensure that the voltage and frequency of the power supply match the power
requirements of the fixture.
4. If the fixture is not going to be hard-wired to a mains supply, install a local power plug (not
supplied) on the end of the supplied power cable.
5. If fixtures are exposed to a sudden temperature change, give them time to warm or cool to the
ambient temperature before applying power. This will help avoid damage due to condensation.
6. Check the support pages on the Martin® website at www.martin.com for the most recent user
documentation and technical information about the fixture. Martin® user manual revisions are
identified by the revision letter at the bottom of the inside cover.
Note that whenever AC power is applied to the fixture, it will reset all effects and functions to their
home positions and the fixture head will move. This process usually takes around 20 seconds.
