• Avoid direct eye contact with laser light. Never intentionally expose your eyes
service, please contact the dealer nearest to you.
CAUTION! The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye
hazard.
Please read the following notes carefully because they include important safety
information about the installation, usage, and maintenance of this product.
• Keep this User Manual for future consultation. If you sell this product to
another user, be sure that they also receive this doc u ment.
• Always make sure that the voltage of the outlet to which you are
connecting this product is within the range stated on the decal or rear
panel of the product.
• This product is for indoor use only! To prevent risk of fire or shock, do not
expose this product to rain or moisture.
• Make sure there are no flammable materials close to the unit while
operating.
• Always install this product in a location wit h adeq uate ven ti lat ion, at least
20 in (50 cm) from adjacent surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are
blocked.
• Always disconnect this product from the power source before cleaning it
or replacing fuse.
• Make sure to replace the fuse with another of the same type and rating.
• If mounting it overhead, always secure this product to a fastening device
using a safety chain.
• The maximum ambient temperature (Ta) is 104° F (40° C). Do not operate
this product at higher temperatures.
• In the event of a serious operating problem, stop using the unit
immediately. Never try to repair the unit. Repairs carried out by unskilled
people can lead to damage or malfunction. Please contact the nearest
authorized technical assistance center.
• Never connect this product to a dimmer pack.
• Make sure the power cord is not crimped or damaged.
• Never disconnect the power cord by pulling or tugging on the cord.
• Never carry a product from the power cord or any moving part. Always
use the hanging/mounting bracket or the handles.
• Always avoid direct eye exposure to the light source when this product is
on.
• Lasers can be hazardous and have unique safety considerations.
Permanent eye injury and blindness is possible if lasers are used
incorrectly. Pay close attention to each safety REMARK and WARNING
statement in this user manual. Read all instructions carefully BEFORE
or others to direct laser light.
• This laser product can potentially cause instant eye injury or blindness if
laser light directly strikes the eyes.
• It is illegal and dangerous to shine this laser into audience areas, where the
audience or other personnel could get direct laser beams or bright reflections
Page 4 of 21 Scorpion™ BLU User Manual (Rev. 6)
into their eyes.
• It is a US Federal offense to shine any laser at aircraft.
• Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
• There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not open the housing

blindness, skin burns, and fires.
Laser Safety Notes
Laser Light is different from any other light sources with which you may be familiar. The
light from this product can potentially cause eye injury if not set up and used properly.
Laser light is thousands of times more concentrated than light from any other kind of
ily by
burning the retina (the light sensitive portion at the back of the eye). Even if you cannot
feel “heat” from a laser beam, it can still potentially injure or blind you or your audience.
It is incorrect to think that because these laser entertainment products use high speed
lso incorrect to assume that because the laser light is moving, it is safe. This is not
true. Nor, do the laser beams always move. Since eye injuries can occur instantly, it is
regulation, it is not legal to aim Class IIIa lasers in areas where people can be exposed.
• This unit contains high power laser devices internally.
• Do not open the laser housing, due to potential exposure to unsafe levels of
laser radiation.

It is a
critical to prevent the possibility of any direct eye exposure. In the laser safety
This is true even if it is aimed below people’s faces, such as on a dance floor.
• Do not operate the laser without first reading and understanding all safety and
technical data in this manual.
• Always set up and install all laser effects so that all laser light is at least 3
meters (9.8 feet) above the floor on which people can stand. See the “Proper
Usage” section later in this manual.
• After set up, and prior to public use, test the laser to ensure proper function.
Do not use if any defect is detected.
• Laser Light - Avoid Direct Eye Exposure.
• Do not point lasers at people or animals.
• Never look into the laser aperture or laser beams.
• Do not point lasers in areas where people can potentially be exposed, such as
uncontrolled balconies, etc.
• Do not point lasers at highly reflective surfaces, such as windows, mirrors
and shiny metal. Even laser reflections can be hazardous.
• Never point a laser at aircraft, as this is a US Federal offense.
• Never point un-terminated laser beams into the sky.
• Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to cleaning chemicals.
• Do not use laser if the laser appears to be emitting only one or two beams.
• Do not use the laser if the housing is damaged, open, or if the optics appear
damaged in any way.
• Never open the laser housing. The high laser power levels inside of the
protective housing can start fires, burn skin and will cause instant eye injury.
• Never leave this device running unattended.
• The operation of a Class IIIa laser show is only allowed if the show is
controlled by a skilled and well-trained operator, familiar with the data
included in this manual.
• The legal requirements for using laser entertainment products vary from
country to country. The user is responsible for the legal requirements at the
location/country of use.
• Always use appropriate lighting safety cables when hanging lights and effects
overhead.

5. TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Product Maintenance
Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can
lead to reduction of the light source’s life and mechanical wear. To maintain optimum
performance and minimize wear, you should clean your lighting products at least
twice a month. However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions could be
contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency.
To clean this lighting product, follow the instructions below:
• Unplug the product from power.
• Wait until the product is cold.
• Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected
on the external surface and fan vents.
• Clean the glass panel (laser aperture) with a mild soluti on of glas s clea ner or
isopropyl alcohol.
• Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue,
and drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the glass.
• Gently polish the glass surface until it is free of haze and lint .
Always dry the glass surface carefully after cleaning them.
• Refrain from spinning the fan using compressed air because you could
damage it.
• DO NOT open this product for cleaning or servicing.
