Getting It Out Of The Box

packing materials. If a fixture must be returned to the factory, it is important that the
fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.

The wiCICLE
®
Skywire can be powered using the included AC power adaptor (“Wall-
Wart, ”) or directly via Blizzard Lighting products which are labelled as “wiCICLE

power directly from the XLR connector body. Look for this logo on select fixtures:
• ONLY fixtures bearing this logo are certified
for use with the wiCICLE
®
without external
power .
• Unauthorized modification and/or using
the wiCICLE
®
with unapproved fixtures
may cause damage to the wiCICLE

or fix-
ture. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS BLIZ-
ZARD LIGHTING RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE FROM SUCH OPERATION.
• Fixtures bearing the above logo MUST only use cable and connectors which sepa -
rate chassis/case ground from cable shielding. Cabling with the shield connected to
the connector’s case/chassis ma y cause malfunction and damage to the wiCICLE
®
or

• All fixtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and cannot be run off a
rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer
