3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The following list of instructions is provided to ensure safe
and risk free use and operation of the projector. Failing to
read and follow these instructions may void any warranties
and may also cause personal injury and material damage.
1. READ INSTRUCTIONS - All safety and operating instructions should be
read before the projector is operated.
2. RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS - The safety and operating instructions should
be retained for future reference.
3. HEED WARNINGS - All warnings on the projector and in the User Guide
should be adhered to. If ignored, use of this projector may cause death,
injury or material damage.
4. CABLES AND CORDS - Use only original cables and cords as supplied
with the projector or as optional accessories. Using third party cables
that may look identical may lead to material damage and personal injury,
as the internal wiring in the cables may be different.
5. LAMP LIFE - The high-pressure lamp may explode if improperly used.
When the lamp lifetime is exceeded, the projector will issue a warning on
screen at start up, and a red indicator on the projector will light up.
Change lamp with an identical spare part as described elsewhere in this
User Guide.
6. LAMP BEAM - Do not look directly into the projector or lens when
operating the projector. The lamp emits rays of strong light, which may
cause eye injury and/or sunburns.
7. WATER AND MOISTURE - The projector is designed for indoor use only
and should not be used near water and moisture.
8. CARTS AND STANDS - Place the projector on a stable, hard surface in
a manner that does not obstruct ventilation ports and openings in the
projector housing. Unstable carts, stands, tables and other
arrangements may cause the projector to fall, which may cause serious
injury to people and/or damaging the projector and other material.
9. CEILING MOUNTING - When mounting the projector in the ceiling,
always ensure that all screws, bolts and other fixing devices of the
ceiling mount hardware are securely in place and tightened. Use only
USER GUIDE XGA LCD PROJECTOR
8
well dimensioned ceiling mounts from a renowned supplier. Connect the
projector to a switched mains power supply, and switch off when not in
use, for maximum protection against fire. Switching off using the remote
control only puts the projector in a standby (sleep) mode with live
internal voltages.
10. VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the projector housing are
provided for ventilation. Air inlet filters are employed to reduce dust
build-up internally. Periodically vacuum the filters (from the outside of the
ventilation grilles) as needed. To ensure reliable operation of the
projector and protection from overheating, do not block or cover slots or
openings in any way. Do not insert any foreign objects or instruments
into the slots and openings, as this may block the ventilation fans. Do
not place the projector on a soft surface (carpet etc.). Never install the
projector in an enclosed unit unless it is properly ventilated by a
separate cooling system.
1 & 2 Ventilation slots
11. HEAT - The projector should be situated away from heat sources such
as sunlight, radiators stoves or other strong heat sources. Do not
operate the projector outside the maximum temperature specifications.
12. OBJECT OR LIQUID ENTRY - Care should be taken so that objects are
not put or do not fall into the projector housing. Be careful not to spill
liquids that may flow into the projector interior. Do not insert metal or
flammable objects into the projector.
13. POWER SOURCES - The projector must only be connected to proper
electrical voltage as marked on the projector body, on the label at the
power inlet. The projector should be connected to the electrical outlet
using a power cord compatible with the local electrical voltage. Never
operate the projector outside the electrical voltage specification. If you
are unsure about the type of electrical service at your location, please
consult your dealer or local Power Company.

14. POWER CORD PROTECTION - Power cords should be routed so that
they are not likely to be walked on, pinched or unduly bent by items
placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords and
cables at the point where they exit from the projector.
15. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION - Precautions should be taken so
that grounding or polarization of the projector is maintained. Do not use
a three prong to a two-prong adapter.
16. ELECTRICAL SHOCK - To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not
open the unit. Refer all servicing to authorized personnel only.
17. CLEANING - The projector should be cleaned only as recommended,
see the Maintenance section. Disconnect the power cord from the power
outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid, spray or aerosol cleaners.
18. NON-USE PERIODS - The power cord of the projector should be
unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.
19. LAMP REPLACEMENT - Replace projection lamp with same type and
rating as shown in the Technical Data section. Allow unit to cool down
before replacement.
20. SERVICING - The user should not attempt to perform unusual or
technical service to the projector. Do not open the unit, except for the
lamp replacement door. Refer all servicing to authorized personnel only.
Replace damaged cords or cables with original replacement parts only.
21. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE - The projector should be serviced by
authorized personnel when:
Objects have fallen, or liquid spilled, into the projector
The projector has been exposed to water or moisture
The projector does not appear to operate normally (fan not working,
Noise, smell, smoke, heat etc.)

22. ABNORMALITY - If you detect any abnormal smell or smoke,
immediately turn off the power switch. Disconnect the power plug from
the inlet to prevent fire or electrical shock.
