USER SAFETY INFORMATION

!
Because a portable Flashhead is frequently used "on location" please be aware of the danger, or inconvenience,
which it may represent to others for example children.
• Keep flash units out of reach of unauthorised persons whenever possible.
• Do not use in restricted area (like hospitals, always ask permission before).
• Do not use near flammable / explosive material.
EN
• Always switch off the unit before connecting or disconnecting heads.
• Flash tubes and the LED-Reflector dishes may become very hot during and after use!
• Do not touch the LED; this might force damages.
• Never touch a flash tube or exchange before the unit cooled down and is disconnected from the battery.
• Do not fire flashes from short distances directed towards a person.
• Minimum distance for persons: 30 cm, for animals 1 – 2 m.
• There is high voltage and can be high currents, so please apply all the usual safety precautions when handling
the unit, changing flash tubes, flash cables, etc, as you would with mains powered electronic flash.
• Protect the Quadra Hybrid Heads & Power Pack when used in wet conditions.
• Flashhead cables must be connected correctly at both ends. Use this cable only for Ranger Quadra and the
Quadra Hybrid S & A Heads.
• If the unit has been exposed to very cold conditions, sudden exposure to warm or humid air may cause
condensation and malfunction.
• Transport the Heads only in the original bags, cases or cartons and protect the flash tube and the LED with the
standard reflector 13.5 cm.
• Prevent direct sunlight, which might heat up the Heads and the Power Pack.
• Do not open the unit. In the event of damage or apparent failure, contact the Elinchrom Service Centre.
