Incorrect handling of lithium batteries can result in injury
• In the event of a short circuit, overheating or mechanical damage, lithium batteries
can cause severe injuries.
• When handled correctly and appropriately lithium batteries pose no risk.
• Store lithium batteries in a cool, dry place, ideally in the original packaging.
• Store lithium batteries away from heat sources (e.g. radiators or sunlight). Lithium
batteries are hermetically sealed. Never attempt to open a lithium battery.
• If the battery housing is damaged small amounts of the electrolyte may leak out. If
this should happen, seal the lithium battery in airtight packaging and wipe up the
traces of electrolyte using absorbent paper towels. You must wear protective rub-
ber gloves when doing so. Clean your hands and the aected surface thoroughly
with cold water.
• Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable lithium batteries. When charging lit-
hium batteries you must use a suitable charging device intended for the purpose.
• Before disposing of the device remove the lithium batteries. Protect used lithium
batteries against potential short circuits, e.g. by covering the poles with adhesive
tape.
• Only use powder extinguishers or other suitable extinguishing agents to extingu-
ish a burning lithium battery.
Possible damage to lithium-ion batteries through incorrect storage
By deep discharge, lithium-ion batteries can be permanently damaged or lose
some of their capacity.
Before long breaks, charge the batteries to around 50 % of their capacity and then
switch o the device. Store the device at room temperature or cooler in an environ-
ment as dry as possible. If the batteries are stored for a longer period, recharge
them to 50 % every three months.
Fully charge the batteries only shortly before use at room temperature.
Where to use the product
Never use the product
• in conditions of extreme temperature or humidity
• in extremely dusty or dirty areas
• at locations where the unit can become wet
General handling
• To prevent damage, never use force when operating the switches and controls.
• Never immerse the appliance in water. Just wipe it with a clean dry cloth. Do not
use liquid cleaners such as benzene, thinners or ammable cleaning agents.

Using the product
1. First the internal battery has to be charged. To do this, connect the device to
a suitable voltage source (not supplied) via its USB-C port on the underside of
the device. If this voltage source provides the device's maximum current draw
of 2A, charging takes up to 4 hours. The charging indicator lights up red while
charging. When the charging is complete, the indicator goes out.
2. Press and hold the switch for 3 seconds to switch on the device. Briey press
this switch to select the cool white, warm white or natural white color tempera-
ture. When switching on with the remote control, a short press is sucient.
3. Briey press the switch repeatedly to select the desired light intensity (low,
medium or full). Press and hold this switch for 3 seconds to activate dierent
groups of light panels.
4. To unfold the side panels, put your ngernail into the openings (3) and pull
them out. Bring the panels into the desired position (s).
5. For use with a tripod, you can screw the device with its 1/4 "thread on the
underside of the device onto an appropriately equipped tripod. Make sure that
the tripod used has the necessary load-bearing capacity - especially in extreme
positions of the boom.
6. When using the infrared remote control, aim the IR signal transmitter at the IR
sensor on the device when you activate the desired panel groups with the
switch, set the desired brightness with the switch and select the desired color
temperature with the switch.
7. Press and hold the switch for 3 seconds to turn o the device. When switching
o with the remote control, a short press is sucient.
