Using this Martin ERA 300 Compact LED Moving Head Profile is easy. First, make sure you have an appropriate power source, though remember it doesn't include a TRUE1 power cable. Connect it to your setup and turn it on. The software version 1.1 will run smoothly to provide you with great lighting effects. When it comes to color, take advantage of the CMY color mixing feature to create different lighting atmospheres. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity. Monitor the power - on time and LED on - time. If you notice a significant drop in performance, it might be time to check the LED or other components.
