Optional Dummy Battery and Power Adaptor Set 
Users can purchase the optional dummy battery and power adaptor for M1. (Item Number: DCP-12) 
The power adaptor can be used at AC100~240V power outlets. 
It can transform AC power into DC12V and power the M-1 by the dummy battery. 
Although the mobility of using dummy battery and power adaptor set is not as good as the use of battery due to the 
limitation of power outlet and cord, it can satisfy the requirement of longer operation time and users do not have to 
worry power exhaustion problem. 
 
If you experience low output, pump noise or no output at all, remove the battery immediately. Check fluid 
level and re-charge the battery. When the liquid tank is full and the battery is charged, plug the battery in and 
press the button on the handle. 
If the machine is still not working and you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not continue 
pushing the remote button, as this may damage the unit. Do not open the case. There are no user 
serviceable parts inside. Return the machine to an Antari dealer for service. 
When the M1 mobile fog machine is not in use for more than one hour, the battery must be removed. 
Otherwise, the battery might be out of order. 
When placing the machine into the flight case, please take off the battery first and place the battery separately 
in the flight case. 
Do not allow the fog liquid to become contaminated. Always replace the caps on the fog liquid container and 
the fog machine liquid tank immediately after filling. 
 
It is strongly recommended to recharge or use the battery/mobile fog machine at least ONCE in two to 
three months. If the battery is left unused for a period of time, the battery will be easily damaged 
causing it to leak or some other abnormal conditions. The rechargeable battery is designed similarly 
idea to wireless home telephone battery. Please do not let it discharge (out of power) totally. 
 
It is normal due to the nature of the lead battery, it will lose its storing power slowly over a period of 
time. However, when used properly, the lifespan is more than 2 years. 
 
 
Performance Notes 
All fog machines develop condensation around the output nozzle. Because this may result in some moisture 
accumulation on the surface below the output nozzle, consider this condensation when installing your unit. 
Fog machines may sputter small amounts of fog occasionally during operation and for a minute or so after 
being turned off. 
This is normal and is not indicative of a defect. 
After continuous operation, the case of the fog machine will become warm, especially at the front of the 
machine. 
Take care in handling the machine during and shortly after fogging. Only carry the M-1 Mobile Fogger by 
the handle and let the machine cool down before packing it in a carrying case.
