Maintenance tip:

Flash tube should be kept clean at all times to avoid degradation of luminosity. When in need of cleaning, wipe with oil-free cloth. Please ensure that the electricity has been cut off, and unit is cool.

If the unit is not in use for long periods of time, please maintain the unit every three months by charging and discharging the unit at least three times. This will prevent the capacitor from degenerating.
