laser reflection over a wide area. This unit has a sound-active mode

used to project the laser patterns to a single location.

Cleaning  
Fixture Cleaning: Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning  
the external lenses should be carried out periodically to optimize light  
output.  
1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the out-  
side casing.  
2. Microphone - This microphone receives external low frequencies  
to trigger the unit in Sound-Active mode. This microphone is designed  
to receive low frequency sounds only, tapping on the microphone and  
high pitch sounds may not trigger the unit.  
2. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every  
20 days.  
3. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the  
unit back in.  
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture  
operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). In heavy use we rec-  
ommend cleaning on a monthly basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure  
longevity, and crisp beam output.  
3. Power Cord Connection - This connection is used to supply main  
power to the fixture. Use only the supplied I.E.C. power cord. Be sure  
the main power matches the required power of your fixture. The rated  
power requirements are clearly marked on the rear panel of the unit.  
4. Fuse Holder - This housing stores the 2 amp GMA protective  
fuse. Always replace with the exact same type fuse, unless otherwise  
instructed, by an authorized American DJ®
service technician.
