7. Paul C. Buff™ Flash Units are designed for use with Paul C. Buff™ accessories. While other manu-
facturers design ash equipment and accessories that may claim compatibility with Paul C.
Buff™ equipment, each manufacturer denes their own contacts and latching mechanisms
which may or may not be suitable for safe use with Paul C. Buff™ equipment. We cannot
guarantee or offer our warranty when our equipment is used with accessories made by other
manufacturers and cannot accept liability for damages that may be caused as a result.
8. Observe power requirements and use the appropriate power cord. The Einstein™ ash unit requires
a suitable AC power source, but may be used on various power lines worldwide, from 95 to
265 Vac with 50 or 60 Hz outlets. The unit accomodates different line voltages without the
need to change settings or modeling lamp type. For use in North America, the unit arrives
with a 15-foot power cord that has a standard IEC connector on one end and a grounded,
three-pronged male plug on the other. This power cord connects to the ash unit on its back
control panel and is then plugged into a suitable 120 Vac, 50-60 Hz power outlet. To use the
Einstein™ unit in other areas of the world with varying power outlet congurations, you will
simply need an IEC power cord with the correct plug conguration specic to that area. A
suitable cord can be purchased locally, found in electronic and computer stores.
9. When shooting in an environment where a suitable AC power source is not available, we recommend the
exclusive use of our Vagabond™ Portable Power Systems. The Vagabond™ systems are designed
specically for Paul C. Buff™ ash units and power packs, offering a convenient, lightweight,
self-contained portable power source. We currently offer Vagabond™ models in both 120V
and 230V models. Visit our website (www.paulcbuff.com) to learn more.
