•Never try to repair the product. Repairs carried out by unskilled people can lead to damage
or malfunction. Contact the nearest authorized technical assistance center.
•To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve the lifespan, during periods of non-use
completely disconnect the products from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
CAUTION! Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than THOSE specified IN
THIS USER MANUAL may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
•Chauvet requires the placement of sandbags on the base of the stand for added
stability.
•DO NOT go past the printed stopping point on the mast.
•DO NOT over-tighten the knob at the tripod mounting insertion point, as it may
damage the mast of the stand.

Page 10 of 156 GigBAR 2.0 User Manual Rev. 2
•Avoid direct eye contact with laser light. Never intentionally expose your eyes or others to
direct laser light.
•This laser product can potentially cause instant eye injury or blindness if laser light directly
strikes the eyes.
•It is illegal and dangerous to shine this laser into audience areas, where the audience or
other personnel could get direct laser beams or bright reflections into their eyes.
•It is a U.S. federal offense to shine any laser at aircraft.
•Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified in this User Manual
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
•DO NOT attempt any repairs. Repairs and servicing must be carried out by a certified
technician. Unauthorized modifications are forbidden for safety reasons!
•Keep this User Manual for future consultation. If transferring ownership of the product
to another user, be sure this document is kept with the laser.
Non-Interlocked
Housing Warning
•This unit contains high power laser devices internally.
•Do not open the laser housing, due to potential exposure to unsafe levels of laser radiation.
•The laser power levels, accessible if the unit is opened, can cause instant blindness, skin
burns, and fires.
Laser Safety
Notes
STOP AND READ ALL THE LASER SAFETY NOTES BELOW
Laser light is different from any other light. Laser light can cause eye injury if the product is not
set up and used properly. Laser light is a thousand times more concentrated than
any other kind
of light. This concentration can cause instant eye injuries by burning the retina (the light-
sensitive portion at the back of the eye). The heat from a laser light cannot be felt, but it can still
injure or blind product operators and the audience. Even very small amounts of laser light
at
long distances are are potentially hazardous.
DO NOT
assume that exposure to an individual laser beam is safe, even a tiny beam split off
from a larger beam. This laser product uses dozens of milliwatts of laser power—Class 3
B
levels internally—and splits them into multiple beams—Class 3R levels. The individual
Class 3R
level beams are potentially hazardous to the eyes.
DO NOT assume that a moving laser light is safe. Laser light is never without risk
. Since eye
injuries can occur instantly, it is critical to prevent the possibility of ANY
direct eye exposure.
According to laser safety regulations, it is not legal to aim Class 3R lasers into areas where
people can be exposed, even if the laser is aimed below people’s faces, such as at
a dance
floor.

GigBAR 2.0 User Manual Rev. 2 Page 11 of 156
•Do not operate the laser without first reading and understanding all the safety and technical
data in this manual.
•ALWAYS set up and install all laser effects so that any laser light is at least 3 meters (9.8
feet) above the floor on which people are standing. See the Proper Usage section of this
manual.
•After setup, and prior to public use, test the lasers to ensure they are functioning properly.
Do not use the product if any defect is detected.
•DO NOT use laser if it is emitting only one or two beams, rather than dozens/hundreds, as
this indicates damage to the diffraction grating optic, and allows emission of laser levels
higher than Class 3R.
•DO NOT point lasers at people or animals.
•DO NOT look into the laser aperture or laser beams.
•DO NOT point lasers into areas where people could be exposed to them..
•DO NOT point lasers at highly reflective surfaces such as windows, mirrors, and shiny metal.
Even laser reflections can be hazardous.
•Never point a laser at aircraft; this is a U.S. federal offense.
•Never point un-terminated laser beams into the sky.
•Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to harsh cleaning chemicals.
•Do not use the laser if the housing is damaged, open, or if the optics appear damaged in any
way.
•Never open the laser housing. The high laser power levels inside of the protective housing
can start fires or burn skin, and will cause instant eye injury.
•Never leave this product running unattended.
•The operation of a Class 3R laser show is allowed only if the lasers are operated by a skilled
and well-trained professional, who is familiar with the data included in this manual.
•The legal requirements for using laser entertainment products vary from country to country.
The user is responsible for the legal requirements in the location/country of use.
CAUTION! Do not operate this device in ways not specified in this User Manual. Failure to follow the
instructions will void the warranty, may damage the product, or injure the user or the audience.
CAUTION! This product cannot be discarded with household waste. Contact your local waste
management service for electronic disposal regulations in your area.
