resulting from burning of battery packs may be toxic.

6. DO NOT DROP, CRUSH, IMPACT, OR MECHANICALLY ABUSE
BATTERY PACKS. Cease use of fi xtures 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 fi re, 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 fi re, 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

1. GETTING STARTED

What’s In The Box?

• 1 x Puck: UNPLUGGED™ RGBA Flat LED PAR Fixture

• 1x IEC Power Cord

• This Lovely User Manual

Getting It Out Of The Box

Congratulations on purchasing one way cool, way THIN LED PAR fi x-
ture! Now that you’ve got The Puck: UNPLUGGED™ RGBA (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 fi xture must be
returned to the factory, it is important that the fi xture be returned in

the original factory box and packing.

Powering Up!

All fi 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 fi xtures have a voltage select switch, so
please verify that the fi xture you receive is suitable for your local pow-
er supply. See the label on the fi xture or refer to the fi xture’s specifi -
cations chart for more information. A fi xture’s listed current rating is
its average current draw under normal conditions. Check the fi 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 fi xture may
result if the line voltage applied does not match the voltage
indicated on the voltage selector switch. All fi xtures must be

connected to circuits with a suitable Ground (Earthing).
