connect the battery pack to any power supplies or other equipment that is not speciﬁcally and expressly designated for use with this model

battery pack.

2.USE THE LITHIUM ION BATTERY PACK ONLY WITH EQUIPMENT SPECIFICALLY AND EXPRESSLY DESIGNATED FOR USE WITH THIS MODEL BATTERY PACK. Use with other equipment may result in ﬁre, electric shock, personal injury, and/or damage to equipment.

3.AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS AND ENVIRONMENTS. Do not charge the battery pack in damp or wet conditions. Avoid using the pack in direct exposure to rain or snow. Do not use the battery pack or charger in the presence of explosive gases or ﬂammable materials.

4.AVOID USING OR STORING THE BATTERY PACK IN EITHER EXTREME COLD OR EXTREME HOT TEMPERATURES. The battery pack will disable itself under conditions of extreme heat (above 60 °C) and may not function to full performance under conditions of extreme cold (below –20 °C).

Storage at elevated temperatures (above 25 °C) will shorten the life of the battery pack.

5.DO NOT BURN OR INCINERATE BATTERY PACKS. Battery packs

may explode causing personal injury, ﬁre, and/or damage. Fumes resulting from burning of battery packs may be toxic.

6.DO NOT DROP, CRUSH, IMPACT, OR MECHANICALLY ABUSE BATTERY PACKS. Cease use of ﬁxtures that have suffered a sharp impact, been dropped, run over, or damaged in any other way. Such impacts may cause internal damage that is not externally visible and that, over time, may cause short circuits, battery cell leakage, or other events that may lead to ﬁre, personal injury, and or equipment damage.

7.DO NOT DISASSEMBLE BATTERY PACK. There are no user serviceable parts within battery packs. Disassembly may result in short circuiting or other damage that may cause ﬁre, personal injury, and/or other damage.

8.AVOID CONTACT WITH BATTERY CHEMICALS. If a battery pack leaks battery chemicals, avoid any contact with skin, eyes, or mouth. In the event of contact with skin, wash immediately with soap and water and rinse with vinegar. For eye contact, begin ﬂushing with clean water, immediately call for medical help, and continue ﬂushing for 20 minutes or until medical help arrives.

exceptions.

11. STORE IN A COOL, DRY PLACE. Avoid leaving the ﬁxture in direct sunlight, vehicle cabs, compartments, or unventilated storage buildings during hot summer conditions. Under extreme temperature conditions damage may occur. Elevated temperatures in general shorten the life of your battery pack.

What’s In The Box?

•1x Mounting Bracket & 2 Knobs

•1x IEC Power Cord

•This Eloquently Written User Manual

Getting It Out Of The Box

Congratulations on purchasing the sweetest battery powered LED PAR can on the market! Based on our world famous Puck3™ and taking into account all the enhancements of Puck 3NX™, THEN adding our proprietary ultra long-life intelion™ Lithium-Ion Battery System give you a ﬁxture with TONS of output, ﬂexibility and fantastic battery-powered run time.

Now that you’ve got The Puck 3: Unplugged™ (or hopefully, Pucks!), 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 ﬁxture must be returned to the factory, it is important that the ﬁxture be returned in the original factory box and packing.

Powering Up!

All ﬁxtures 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 ﬁxtures have a voltage select switch, so please verify that the ﬁxture you receive is suitable for your local power supply. See the label on the ﬁxture or refer to the ﬁxture’s speciﬁcations chart for more information. A ﬁxture’s listed current rating is its average current draw under normal conditions. Check the ﬁxture 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 ﬁxture may result if the line voltage applied does not match the voltage indicated on the voltage selector switch. All ﬁxtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Ground (Earthing).

Getting A Hold Of Us

If something is wrong, just give us a call or send an email. We’ll be happy to help, honest.
