Preventing Electric Shock

• This machine uses mains electrical power at 100-240VAC. When directly
contacted, such voltages are hazardous to human life. Follow all local electrical
codes and take precautions when using this product.

• This product is designed to operate from three-wire power systems, where
one of the wires is a safety ground. DO NOT disconnect the safety ground, or
use extension cords or adapter plugs to connect this machine to a two-wire
system. Operation without a safety ground may result in hazardous electrical
shock.

• Use only extension cords that are of appropriate length and are rated for
LitePad Vector’s specified voltage and current. If an extension cord shows
signs of wear or gets warm to the touch, discontinue its use and obtain a cord
with a higher current rating. Improper extension cords are hazardous and may
result in poor performance due to excessive voltage drop.

• Disconnect unit from power source before servicing and when not in use.

Maintaining Safe Operation

• Use only ROSCO spare parts and accessories so as to not void the system
warranty.

• Allow the unit to cool before attempting to service. LitePad Vector must only
be serviced by a qualified technician.

minimum 4 inches (10cm) distance away from flammable materials/objects.

• LitePad Vector is IP61 rated – for indoor use and/or a dry environment. Do not
operate outdoors in a wet environment.

• LitePad Vector is designed for operation within the range of 32° to 95°F (0° to
+35°C).
