1. GETTING STARTED

What’s In The Box?

• 1 x PinUp™ LED Pinspot

• A totally rockin’ AC Power Cord

• This Lovely User Manual

Getting It Out Of The Box

Congratulations on purchasing one of the coolest professional LED
Pinspot xtures anywhere! Now that you’re the proud owner of a
PinUp™ (or hopefully, MORE!), 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 specications
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).

Getting A Hold Of Us
