Please check your state and local laws for outdoor laser usage. Although
the Elf Light is generally safe when used responsibly, please exercise the
following precautions:
Precautions For Laser Usage
• Do not aim or shine at people, animals or traffic from land, sea, or air.
• Use with caution within 5 nautical miles of an airport.
• The Elf Light should always be stationary; do not hold in hand when operating.
• Position the Elf Light so that the lights are within the confines of the target object.
• Do not use near infants/cribs and keep away from children.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THIS PRODUCT HAS A POLARIZED PLUG (ONE BLADE IS WIDER THAN THE
OTHER) AS A FEATURE TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
THIS PLUG WILL FIT IN A POLARIZED OUTLET ONLY ONE WAY. IF THE PLUG
DOES NOT FIT FULLY IN THE OUTLET, REVERSE THE PLUG.
IF IT STILL DOES NOT FIT, CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. NEVER
USE WITH AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS PLUG CAN BE FULLY INSERTED.
DO NOT ALTER THE PLUG.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the distance between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
- Consult the manufacturer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
NOTE: This is a standard cautionary statement from the FCC, which is used to
alert the user to troubleshoot in various ways if problems are found.
Read All Instructions
WARNING: When using outdoors, use portable luminaires. Basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
and personal injury, including the following:
a) Use only three-wire outdoor extension cords that have three-prong grounding
plugs and grounding receptacles that accept the appliance’s plug.
b) Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection is to be provided on the
circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the wet location portable luminaire.
Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection and are able to be used
for this measure of safety.
c) Use only with an extension cord for outdoor use, such as an extension cord of
cord type SW, SW-A, SOW, SOW-A, STW, STW-A, STOW, STOW-A, SJW,
SJW-A, SJOW, SJOW-A, SJTW, SJTW-A, or SJTOW, SJTOW-A.

3. Flash mode – Pressing this button will cycle between steady
or flashing lights. For multi-color versions, it will cycle from
simultaneous flashing, alternating flashing, single color
flashing back to default.
• Simultaneous flashing – Both laser colors (if applicable)
will flash simultaneously.
• Alternating flashing – Both laser colors will alternately flash
(multi-color only). Press again and it
will default back to simultaneous color
(no flashing).
4. Flash speed – Press this to adjust the flash speed
(slow, medium, fast)
5. Timer presets (2, 4, 6, or 8 hours) – Pressing this will turn
the unit ON and go into standby Mode after # hours.
For example, If you want your Elf Light to display from 6pm to
midnight daily: At desired time, in this case, 6pm, press the
“6h” button. The lights will turn off after 6hrs (midnight) and
will cycle again to turn on at 6pm the next day and so on.
Timer settings will be saved until “timer reset” button is pushed
or if the projector unit is unplugged. A triple-flash indication
from the projector will confirm your timer setting.
6. Timer reset – Press this to reset and turn off the timer.
Note: Using the timer function is recommended
to minimize energy use and maximize product life.
7. LED indicator on remote – This will confirm the remote
battery/buttons are working.
8. Retractable Antenna – Extend for maximum range (Up to 30 ft.
depending on surroundings).
Your Elf Light remote supports pairings to multiple Elf Lights (maximum of 4 sets) of the same version (single or multi-color versions)
so you can conveniently control their operation with one remote.
Each Elf Light is paired with its accompanying remote at the factory.
To pair with another Elf Light, simply unplug (if plugged in) and then
plug in the Elf Light. Then quickly press the power button within 5
seconds on the desired remote to be paired. The projector will
“learn” that this will be the remote to pair with. To Unpair, simply
unplug and pair another remote in its place.

CAUTION! – Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
This laser product is certified as a Class IIIa laser product to the
requirements of the US Federal Laser Product Performance Standard (FLPPS)
contained in the regulations in 21 CFR Subchapter J. Class IIIa laser products
can be hazardous when directly viewed.
Avoid direct viewing of Class IIIa laser energy. For reference the FLPPS
requirements for demonstration laser products like laser pointers are limited to
Class IIIa levels of laser energy. This product uses diffractive optics to scatter the
beam energy. This scattering effect causes the energy concentration to drop
below the exposure limits for momentary or accidental viewing at a relatively short
distance from the laser aperture. As similar with all bright light sources, when you
operate this device in unsupervised general public areas, it is recommended that
up-close access to the Elf Light be restricted or prevented.
This laser display device incorporates a Class IIIa laser system which, by itself,
may be hazardous. However, this laser display device incorporates a protective
housing and diffractive holographic optics in the machine’s design such that there
is no exposure or human access to the laser radiation during operation or
maintenance above the Class IIIa limits. Each individual laser beam’s power is
less than 5mW, which is about an average laser pointer.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE shall attempts be made to open the protective
housing or operate the device if the aperture windows are damaged. All service
to this laser display device requiring the protective housing to be opened and/or
removed shall be performed by a Elf Light service personnel or their authorized
agents. No user-serviceable parts - opening the Elf Light protective housing voids
the warranty.
Safety First!
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the product.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
This device complies with Industry Canada Incense-exempt RSS-210. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of the device.
