Retain these documents for future reference.

Thank you for purchasing the Musicalaser light show. This product is a sound responsive laser. A polar waveform image of the sound is projected onto any surface. The projected image increases diameter with distance. It incorporates surface mount electronics, precession optics and a quality laser.

Please read these instructions thoroughly for the highest safety, best performance and longest life.

-Use of controls or adjustments to performance or procedures other than those specified may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

-Keep out of the reach of children. The laser light emitted from this device should not be directed towards people or animals.

OPERATING INSRUCTIONS

SET-UP

2. Make connection to the RCA line-in jack. No connection is required when using the internal microphone.

3. Insert the DC plug from the provided AC adapter into the Musicalaser jack labeled 9VDC. Plug the AC adapter into an U.S. domestic standard 120VAC 60Hz electrical outlet.

4. Position the Musicalaser on a stable surface with the laser aperture pointing away from any persons and not towards any highly reflective surfaces such as mirrors or flat glass.

USE

SPEED CALIBRATION

The rate at which the laser beam completes one cycle can be set using the Speed adjustment knob. Speed rate is a personal preference and can be set anywhere between minimum and maximum. Do not force the speed adjust knob passed the stops. Most modern musical instruments are tuned to a standard A note which has a frequency of 440Hz. To optimize the laser image formation for A 440, apply a 55 Hz audio signal and adjust the speed control knob so that either a 3 or 4 lobe non-rotating image is formed.

Lasers have many dangers. The owner and operator of this laser device is responsible for safety. The following information is for your protection and for those around you. Be sure to instruct others on laser safety. They may not know the hazards, or what to expect and avoid.

This laser has been manufactured and tested to meet CDRH Class IIIa (<5mW) safely limits which means that the beam power is low enough that the eye should be protected from permanent damage by natural pupil contraction, blink, and aversion reflexes. Beware that permanent eye damage can occur from prolonged intentional misuse. There is not enough power in a Class IIIa laser beam to burn anything. Potential damage to vision is the main safety consideration.

· Public safety regulations require that the laser beam be 3 meters vertically above the audience floor and 2 meters laterally from the closest point at which the audience could have access. Keep laser unit and laser beam out of public reach and contact.

· When adjusting or aligning a laser, beware of stray reflections from shiny surfaces.

· This is a graphics effect laser, not a beam effect laser. Fog, mist or smoke is not required. The projected graphic laser image should be terminated on a projection screen or non-shiny, flat white or light colored surface.

Flash blindness – A similar effect occurs if you are looking at a camera strobe light while being photographed. Flash blindness can occur when a Class IIIa or less laser beam momentarily enters the eye. Though momentary exposure may result in temporary flash blindness, disorientation, multiple afterimages, and headache, such effects, while not to be minimized in importance, should not be permanent.

Collateral damage – A car wreck or other type of accident can occur if a laser beam causes a distraction. Some people have a strong psychological reaction by being illuminated with a laser beam. It is possible to receive eye injuries, not from the beam itself, but by a strong response that includes vigorously rubbing or sticking fingers in the eyes.

Misinterpretation of intent – Some firearms use a laser beam for targeting. Someone who thinks you are targeting him or her with a firearm laser sight could fire upon you. There is a risk of being arrested if you aim a laser beam at military, government or law enforcement personnel.

FEATURES

· Sound input through internal microphone or Line-in RCA jack – When using microphone, image quality depends on location.

· 2.1mm DC power jack, 9VDC @ <300mA - Musicalaser is reverse polarity protected

· Automatic gain controls image quality from sounds ranging from normal human conversation to rock concert levels
