Relio 2 User manual

READ ME BEFORE USE!
Relio² is a high performance, ultra-high CRI (Color Rendering Index) LED light powered
via USB. It is devised to be used as a portable or static illuminator, for domestic and
professional use.
Please read the online manual ( www.relio.it/manual ) before first use. Relio² contains
parts that need to be assembled according to the instructions provided. Incorrect as-
sembling or handling may cause damage to the device and its accessories that is not
covered by warranty. The online manual may contain updated information, additional
guidance or important warnings.

• Do not stare directly into the beam or at the powered bare LED emitter without any
lens installed. Serious eye damage may occur.
• The Relio² UV variant emits Ultra-violet radiation at 395nm and is aimed for techni-
cal or scientific uses. Do not stare directly or indirectly into the beam and in any case
do not stare at the bare UV LED emitter. Irreversible damage to the eyes may occur.
If you intend to use Relio² UV for creative or recreational purposes, please make sure
you are fully aware of the dangers, scope and correct management of UV radiation
before use.
• Do not activate the “Strobo Mode” in the Relio App if you are sensible to high-fre-
quency light flashes or in the presence of people at risk of epileptic seizures.
LIGHT DANGER - WARNINGS

• Do not plug or unplug the USB connector when the upper Relio² cap is removed.
The cap keeps the electronic board in place. Applying force to the USB connector
with the cap removed may result in the elctronics board or the LED board being
damaged. Damages by inflicted strain on the electronic board or the USB connector
are not covered by warranty.
• The Relio² is engineered to work with the supplied, undamaged USB cables (either
magnetic or not) or with equivalent high-quality USB cables not longer than 3m / 10ft
that are able to carry at least 2A of current. If you notice inconsistent behaviour while
operating the Relio², please disconect the device immediately, inspect the Relio²
connector for dirt or debris, inspect the USB cable and, if necessary, use a dierent
cable. Please consult with our Technical Support in case of need.
MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL DAMAGE - WARNINGS

• Some USB power banks automatically shut down when they detect that the con-
nected device stops drawing power. When you dim the Relio² light, some USB power
banks may mistakenly disconnect power and shut down. If you intend to use Relio²
at low light levels in combination with a power bank, make sure to use a power bank
that is able to supply low power levels without automatically shutting down.
• Do not operate the Relio² or any of its accessories with wet hands or in damp envi-
ronments. Do not overheat the device by powering it inside pockets, purses or small
sealed containers. Risk of burns and other injuries.
• Do not permanently install Relio² outdoors or in harsh environmental conditions, as
water or debris may enter the device and cause dangerous malfunctions.
MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL DAMAGE - WARNINGS

• The device can be powered within the range of voltages and currents stated in the
Technical Specifications. Do not try to power the device with voltages or currents
above or below these limits. Device damage or personal injury may occur.
• If operating conditions are not met, or if you notice any unattended behaviour, stop
using the device and contact our techncal service for asssitance.
• Not suitable for children, unsupervised minors or impaired people, as it contains
small parts (including magnets) that may be ingested or mishandled.
• Do not touch, press or try to clean the LED emitter with any kind of wet solution.
Position the TIR lens with care, as you may damage the LED emitter by scraping it
with the bottom of the TIR lens. Damages to the LED emitter caused by mishandling
the TIR lens are not covered by warranty.
MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL DAMAGE - WARNINGS

• Do not open the upper cap or swap the TIR lenses with dirty hands. Do not place
the device on bare soil or in dusty environments. Dust and debris may enter the devi-
ce and damage the LED emitter or the electronic board. Electronic damages caused
by debris, water or dirt entering the device are not covered by warranty.
• Do not place the device or the magnetic USB cable close to metal dust or ferritic
powder, as it may gather around the magnets and create a short-circuit or an irrever-
sible electrical failure. Normal wear-and-tear on the USB cable or damages caused
by ferritic debris are not covered by warranty.
• Relio² should be serviced by professionals only.
For further information on mechanical or electrical repairs, scheduled maintenanceor
deep cleaning please consult with our technical team.

PLAYGROUND AND “SIX-PACK” - WARNINGS

• The cross-polarizers’ film is considered a consumable item as it wears-out during
use and gradually loses its light transmissivity and polarizing function. The use of a
worn-out polarizer may lead to melting and may eventually catch fire.
• Always inspect the polarizing film before installing it on a Relio² device. If you
notice a central yellow spot, uneven surface, opacized or reduced transparency or
any other form of visual or functional wear, stop using it and replace the polarizing
film by prying open the film holder frame and replacing the film with a new one.
• The polarizer’s service life can be greatly extended by keeping Relio² light inten-
sity at 80% or lower.
• Do not touch the cross-polarizer film with bare hands, as a stained or opacized
polarizer will wear-out faster.
