3.SETUP
AC Power
The Freedom™ RGBA series has an auto-
ranging power supply and it can work with an
input voltage range of 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
To determine the product’s power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and
wiring), use the current value listed on the label affixed to the product’s bottom panel, or
refer to the product’s specifications chart. The listed current rating indicates the
product’s average current draw under normal conditions.
Always connect the product to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse). Make
sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of
electrocution or fire.
Never connect the product to
a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even
if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0–100% switch.
Charging the
Battery
The Freedom™ RGBA series comes with a non-user-serviceable lithium-
ion battery for
cable-free operation.
To charge the Freedom™ RGBA
series battery, plug in the power cord at any time
before, during, or after operation. To charge the battery before or after operation with all
the LEDs off, leave the power switch in the Off position.
Battery Life
Indicator
The
battery life indicator located on the product displays the remaining amount of
internal battery life. Use the chart below to find out how much battery life remains per
charge cycle. The light to the far right flashes during charging.
The Freedom™ RGBA
series battery should be charged 24 hours prior to initial
use for optimal battery life.
Battery
Maintenance
To keep the battery in optimal operating condition, store the product in a cool, dry place
and charge at least once every 30 days when not in use.
Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures. If the product is exposed to extreme cold or
hot temperatures, warm up/cool down the product before use and before charging.
Run-Time Table
Maximum Run Time Recharge Time
Up to 8 hours 6 hours

Mounting
Before mounting the product, read and follow the safety recommendations of the
Safety
Notes.
Orientation
The Freedom™ RGBA series products may be mounted in any position; however, make
sure adequate ventilation is provided.
Rigging
•Before deciding on a location, always make sure there is easy access to the product
for maintenance and programming.
•Make sure that the structure or surface onto which you are mounting the product
can support the product’s weight (see the Technical Specifications).
•When mounting the product overhead, always use a safety cable.
Mount the
product securely to a rigging point, such as an elevated platform or a truss.
•When rigging the product onto a truss, you should use a mounting clamp of
appropriate weight capacity.
•When power linking multiple products, you must always consider the length of the
power linking cable and mount the products close enough for the cable to reach.
•The bracket adjustment knobs allow for directional adjustment when aiming the
product to the desired angle. Only loosen or tighten the bracket knobs manually.
Using tools could damage the knobs.
•The mounting brackets on the Freedom™ Strip Mini RGBA also serve as floor
supports/allow for surface mounting. When mounting the product
on the floor, make
sure that the product and cables are away from people and vehicles.

Note: The sound sensitivity settings in ACt and ACtC modes have an effect on the sound sensitivity span in
DMX mode. For optimal sound sensitivity in DMX mode, first be sure to adjust both ACt and ACtC sound
sensitivity settings according to your environment.
•CH.2 must be within operating values for Auto Run to function.
•If the Freedom™ RGBA series product is in Sound-Active mode and there is no
sound for 6 seconds, the product will default back to an automatic program. Turn
the sound sensitivity down to 128 to avoid this.
