Notice
CAUTION—Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
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 product is classified as a Class 3 laser product and complies with the applicable parts of IEC/EN 60825-1 Ed. 2.0:2007 and Ed. 3.0:2014. The manufacturer additionally certifies it complies with the US FDA Federal Laser Product Performance Standard (FLPPS) provided in 21 CFR Subchapter J, 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for allowable deviations specified in FDA Guidance documents.
Do not stare into the beams emitted from the product. Intentional long term viewing of CLASS 3 levels of laser light can be hazardous. 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 with all bright light-sources, when you operate this device in unsupervised general public areas, it is recommended that up-close access to the light be restricted or prevented and the beams be directed into locations were persons are not expected.
This laser display device incorporates a CLASS 3B laser system which, by itself, may be hazardous. However, this laser display product incorporates a protective housing and diffractive optics in its design so that there is no exposure or human access to laser radiation during operation above the CLASS 3 limits. Each individual laser beamlet's power is below the Class 3R limit of 5 mW.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES shall attempts be made to open the protective housing or operate the device if the aperture window is damaged.
All service to this laser display device requiring the protective housing to be opened and/ or removed shall be performed by service personnel or their authorized agents. Opening the protective housing voids the warranty.
Important Safety Information: NO LASERS SHOULD BE POINTED INTO THE SKY WITHIN 10 NAUTICAL MILES (18.5 km) OF AN AIRPORT. IF YOU ARE LOCATED WITHIN THIS SPECIFIC PERIMETER, WE RECOMMEND THE LASERS BE POINTED DOWN AT THE GROUND SO NO STRAY BEAMS ARE PROJECTED INTO THE AIR. CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL AIRPORT OR PROVINCIAL GUIDELINES FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.

Setting Up the Projector
Before operating your laser projector, please read the “Before you Begin" section and “Notice" section of this user's guide.
- Connect the light fixture to the provided power supply and screw on the attached water seal cap to the top of the power supply.
- Connect the power supply into an available standard electrical outlet.
- Attach the stake to the fixture head by twisting the fixture clockwise. Remove the stake by twisting the fixture counter-clockwise.
- Drive the stake into the desired location by holding the top of the stake and gently pushing the stake into the ground. Do not push the fixture into the ground by pushing down on the lamp head.
- Adjust the angle of the projected light by turning the thumbscrew attached to the side of the fixture.
- Use the included remote control to change the settings of the light output.
- To turn off the light, use the provided remote or remove the power plug from the electrical outlet.
Operating the Projector
Once the laser projector is plugged in, it will enter the default mode with both the laser on and the automatic timer set to 6-hour on and 18-hour off mode. Use the included remote control to change these settings.
Operating the Timer
This light has a built-in timer designed to automatically shut off after 6 hours of operation. It will go into sleep mode for 18 hours and repeat the same operation thereafter. The timer turns on once the light is plugged in. To disable the timer, press the timer button on the remote. The laser will blink twice to signal that the timer is off and the laser will remain on. To turn the timer back on, press the timer button again. The laser will then blink three times to signal that the timer is on.
Operating the Remote Control
Use the included infrared remote control to operate the light's features. Infrared signal does not go through solid objects, such as windows, walls, trees, shrubs, etc. Make sure there is a clear line of sight between you and the fixture. Point the remote control at the FACE of the light fixture, where the receiver is located. The remote operates up to 15′ (4.6 m) of unobstructed distance away from the face of the fixture.

Troubleshooting
How to avoid IR interference:
If the laser or LED starts and stops randomly, there might be wireless signal interference (e.g., from radio control toys, TV remote controls, automatic vacuums, etc.). To verify, try covering the window at the bottom of the front lens with your finger to block stray infrared signals. If this resolves the problem, check other electronic products in the room to identify the source of interference.
