SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS
General precautions
This product is designed for professional lighting technicians. It is not intended for
household use.
Risk of electric shock and fire
Do not open the product. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Contact Rosco
for after sales and repair services.
Overheating
Do not operate the product if the ambient temperature exceeds 104ºF/40ºC, or
77ºF/25ºC in Boost Mode.
Intensive use can cause the surface of the fixture to become hot. Allow the product to
cool down completely before handling or storage.
• Should the DMG DASH overheat, the fixture will power off. It can be
powered on again once the unit has sufficiently cooled down.
• Operating the DMG DASH from the battery generates more heat
then when the fixture is connected to a power source via the charging
cable. If the fixture needs to perform in a demanding environment where
overheating may be possible, operating the DMG DASH via the charger is
advised to reduce the heat and prevent triggering the thermal protection
sensors.
Please Note: the DMG DASH light fixture, Flat Diffuser, Dome and DOT Round
items as much as possible. It is recommended that these products be stored in their
respective cases or bags during storage.

There are two important factors to ensure proper and efficient charging for DMG DASH - using the proper cable and the proper charger.
The cable included with the DMG DASH is rated for 3A. Cable quality is important to ensure proper voltage is provided to the fixture and the battery. Not all the USB cables are
rated for 3A. Make sure any replacement cables used with DMG DASH are rated for 3A.
POWERBANK SPECIFICATIONS
A powerbank featuring 3A output via USB-C is recommended. However, most powerbanks manufactured after 2019 feature 2.4A output via USB-A or higher, which will also work
to operate/charge DMG DASH.

POWERING AND CHARGING THE DASH
BATTERY SPECIFICATIONS
•The DMG DASH battery is a 6000 mAh Lithium-ion battery with high temperature capability. This means the battery will provide 2A of power per hour for up to three hours
when at maximum output, and that it can function up to a maximum temperature of 176ºF/80ºC.
• The DMG DASH has two thermal protection sensors to protect the electronics and the battery against overheating.
• The battery is also equipped with protection against short voltage.
NOTE: The DMG DASH battery can be replaced once performance is no longer acceptable. It is a custom battery designed with high temperature requirements for DMG DASH.
The battery must be replaced by a Rosco service center.
CHARGING WHILE OPERATING
• DMG DASH will recharge its battery while operating when connected to a power source via the USB-C cable. The effectiveness and speed of this capability is based on the
charge current and maximum power of the charger that the DMG DASH is plugged into.
• Because the current from the charger will be used to both produce light and charge the battery, the lower the intensity the faster the charge will be.

BOOST MODE
Enter Boost Mode by pressing and holding the Menu Button

Boost Mode will increase the light output of the active
settings to 125%.
Because Boost Mode consumes more power, battery
runtime will be shortened. It is recommended that DMG
DASH be connected to a power source via a 3A charger and
cable in order to operature fixture in Boost Mode for long
periods of time.
Boost Mode generates more heat within the fixture. The
recommended maximum ambient temperature for Boost
Moe = 77ºF/25ºC. Should the DMG DASH overheat while
in Boost Mode, the fixture will power off. DMG DASH can
be powered back on once the unit has sufficiently cooled
down.
