Getting It Out Of The Box
Congratulations on purchasing one of the brightest, cutest little outdoor rated xtures anywhere! Now
that you’ve got your Motif Fresco™ (or hopefully, Fresco’s!), you should carefully unpack the box and
check the contents to ensure that all parts are present and in good condition. If anything looks as if it has
been damaged in transit, notify the shipper immediately and keep the packing material for inspection.
Again, please save the carton and all packing materials. If a xture must be returned to the factory, it is
important that the xture be returned in the original factory box and packing.
Powering Up!
All xtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat (variable
resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to
100% switch.
AC Voltage Switch - Not all xtures have a voltage select switch, so please verify that the xture you
receive is suitable for your local power supply. See the label on the xture or refer to the xture’s
specications chart for more information. A xture’s listed current rating is its average current draw under
normal conditions. Check the xture or device carefully to make sure that if a voltage selection switch
exists that it is set to the correct line voltage you will use.
Warning! Verify that the voltage select switch on your unit matches the line voltage applied.
Damage to your xture may result if the line voltage applied does not match the voltage
indicated on the voltage selector switch. All xtures must be connected to circuits with a
suitable Ground (Earthing).

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Please keep this User Guide for future use. If you sell the unit to someone
else, be sure that they also receive this User Guide.
• ALWAYS make sure that you are connecting to the proper voltage, and that
the line voltage you are connecting to is not higher than that stated on the de-
cal or rear panel of the xture.
• Make sure there are no ammable materials close to the unit while operating.
• The unit must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least
20in (50cm) from adjacent surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are
blocked.
• ALWAYS disconnect from the power source before servicing or replacing fuse
and be sure to replace with same fuse size and type.
• ALWAYS secure xture using a safety chain. NEVER carry the xture by its
cord. Use its carrying handles.
• DO NOT operate at ambient temperatures higher than 104°F (40°C).
• In the event of a serious operating problem, stop using the unit immediately.
NEVER try to repair the unit by yourself. Repairs carried out by unskilled people
can lead to damage or malfunction. Please contact the nearest authorized technical assistance center. Always use the same type spare parts.
• NEVER connect the device to a dimmer pack.
• Make sure the power cord is never crimped or damaged.
• Never disconnect the power cord by pulling or tugging on the cord.
• Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source while it is on.
Caution! There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not
