Page 2 of 98
Helicopter Q6 User Manual Rev. 1
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
• Avoid direct eye contact with laser light. Never intentionally expose your eyes 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 into their eyes.
• It is a U.S. federal offense to shine any laser at aircraft.
• Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified in this User Manual
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
• To eliminate wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use completely
disconnect from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
• DO NOT attempt any repairs. Repairs and servicing must be carried out by a certified
technician. Unauthorized modifications are forbidden for safety reasons!
Keep this User Manual for future consultation. If transferring ownership of the
product to another user, be sure this document is kept with the laser.
Non-Interlocked Housing Warning
• This unit contains high power laser devices internally.
• Do not open the laser housing, due to potential exposure to unsafe levels of laser radiation.
• The laser power levels, accessible if the unit is opened, can cause instant blindness, skin
burns, and fires.
Laser Safety Notes
STOP AND READ ALL THE LASER SAFETY NOTES BELOW
Laser light is different from any other light. Laser light can cause eye injury if the product is not set up and
used properly. Laser light is a thousand times more concentrated than any other kind of light. This
concentration can cause instant eye injuries by burning the retina (the light-sensitive portion at the back of
the eye). The heat from a laser light cannot be felt, but it can still injure or blind product operators and the
audience. Even very small amounts of laser light at long distances are potentially hazardous.
DO NOT assume that exposure to an individual laser bea m is safe, even a tiny beam split off from a larger
beam. This laser product uses dozens of milliwatts of laser power—Class 3B levels internally—and splits
them into multiple beams—Class 3R levels. The individual Class 3R level beams are potentially hazardous
to the eyes.
DO NOT assume that a moving laser light is safe. Laser light is never without risk. Since eye injuries can
occur instantly, it is critical to prevent the possibility of ANY direct eye exposure. According to laser safety
regulations, it is not legal to aim Class 3R lasers into areas where people can be exposed, even if the laser
is aimed below people’s faces, such as at a dance floor.
Helicopter Q6 User Manual Rev. 1
Page 3 of 98
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
• Do not operate the laser without first reading and understan ding all the safety and technical
data in this manual.
• ALWAYS set up and install all laser effects so that any laser light is at least 3 meters (9.8
feet) above the floor on which people are standing. See the Proper Usage
manual.
• After setup, and prior to public use, test the lasers to ensure they are functioning properly.
Do not use the product if any defect is detected.
• DO NOT use laser if it is emitting only one or two beams, rather than dozens/hundreds, as
this indicates damage to the diffraction grating optic, and allows emission of laser levels
higher than Class 3R.
• DO NOT point lasers at people or animals.
• DO NOT look into the laser aperture or laser beams.
• DO NOT point lasers into areas where people could be exposed to them.
• 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; this is a U.S. federal offense.
• Never point unterminated laser beams into the sky.
• Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to harsh cleaning chemicals.
• 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 or burn skin, and will cause instant eye injury.
• Never leave this product running unattended.
• The operation of a Class 3R laser show is allowed only if the lasers are operated by a
skilled and well-trained professional, who is familiar with the data included in this manual.
• The legal requirements for using laser entertainment p roducts vary from country to country .
The user is responsible for the legal requiremen ts in the location/country of use.

SOBRE EL LÁSER SIGUIENTES
La luz láser es diferente de cualquier otra fuente de luz. La luz de este producto puede causar lesión
ocular si el producto no se instala y usa adecuadamente. La luz láser es miles de ve ces más concen trada
que la luz de cualquier otro tipo de fuente. Esta concentración de luz puede causar lesiones in stantáneas
en el ojo, fundamentalmente por quemadura de la retina (la zona sensib le a la luz en la parte posteri or del
ojo). Aunque usted no pueda sentir el “calor” de un haz de láser, este puede aún potencialmente lesionar
o cegarle a usted o al público. Incluso cantidades de luz láser muy pequeñas son potencialmente
peligrosas, incluso a largas distancias. Las lesiones oculares por láser pueden ocurrir más rápido de lo
que se tarda en parpadear.
NO dé por supuesto que porque estos productos recre ativos de láser dividan el láser en cientos de haces,
y porque el haz de láser se lance a alta velocidad, es segura la exposición del ojo a un haz individual de
láser. Este producto de láser utiliza docenas de milivatios de potencia láser (niveles clase 3B
internamente) antes de dividirlo en múltiples haces (niveles clase 3R). Muchos de los haces individuales
son potencialmente peligrosos para los ojos.
NO asuma que porque la luz láser está en movimiento, es segura. La luz láser no está nunca libre de
riesgo, ni aunque el haz se mueva siempre. Puesto que las lesiones oculares pueden producirse
instantáneamente, es crítico prevenir la posibilidad de CUALQUIER exposición directa al ojo. Según las
disposiciones de seguridad láser, no es legal apuntar con láseres Clase 3a hacia áreas en las que las
personas puedan quedar expuestas. Esto se aplica incluso si se apunta con el láser por debajo de las
caras de la gente, por ejemplo hacia la pista de baile.

ANTES DE EMPEZAR
• No ponga en funcionamiento el láser sin primero leer y comprender todos los datos
técnicos y de seguridad de este manual.
• Ubique e instale todos los efectos láser SIEMPRE de forma que toda la luz láser está al
menos a 3 m (9,8 pies) sobre el nivel del suelo en el que se encuentra la gente. Vea la
sección Uso Adecuado
• Después de la instalación, y antes de su uso púb lico, prueb e e l láse r p ara a segur ar se de
que funciona adecuadamente. No lo use si detecta cualquier defecto.
• NO use el láser si este emite solo uno o dos haces en lugar de docenas/centenares, pues
esto podría indicar una avería en la óptica de la rejilla de difracción, y podría permitir la
emisión de niveles de láser por encima de la Clase 3R.
• NO apunte con láser a personas o animales.
• Nunca mire a la apertura del láser o a los haces de láser.
• NO apunte con el láser hacia áreas en las que las personas pudieran quedar exp uestas,
como balcones sin vigilancia, etc.
• NO apunte con láseres a superficies muy reflectantes como ventanas, espejos y metal
pulido. Incluso los reflejos del láser pueden ser peligrosos.
• Nunca apunte con el láser a un avión, pues constituye delito según las leyes de EE.UU.
• Nunca apunte hacia el cielo con haces láser sueltos.
• No exponga la óptica de salida (apertura) a productos de limpia químicos.
• No use el láser si la carcasa está averiada o abierta, o si la óptica parece dañada de
cualquier modo.
• Nunca abra la carcasa del láser. Los altos niveles de potencia láser dentro de la carcasa protectora
pueden originar incendios o quemaduras en la piel y causarán lesiones oculares al instante.
• Nunca deje este producto en funcionamiento sin vigilancia.
• El funcionamiento de un láser de espectáculo de Clase 3R solo se permite si el
espectáculo es controlado por un operador experimentado y bien formado, familiarizado
con los datos contenidos en este manual.
• Los requisitos legales para usar productos de láser recr eativo varían de un país a otro. El
usuario es responsable de los requisitos legales del lugar/país en que lo utilice.
