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.

USER GUIDE LCD PROJECTOR

The normal operating life for the lamp is 750 hours. High-pressure lamp may explode if improperly used. Refer all servicing to authorized personnel only.

1. Water and Moisture - The projector is designed for indoor use only

and should not be used near water and moisture.

2. Carts and Stands - Place the projector on a stable, hard surface in

a manner that does not obstruct ventilation ports and openings in the cabinet. Unstable carts, stands, tables, etc. may cause the projector to fall, which may cause serious injury to people and/or the projector.

3. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for

ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the projector and protection from overheating, do not block or cover slots and openings in any way. Do not place the projector on any soft surface or close to a heating source, radiator, etc. Never install the projector in an enclosed unit.

4. Heat - The projector should be situated away from heat sources

such as direct sunlight, radiators, stoves or other strong heat sources.

5. Power Sources - The projector must only be connected to proper

electrical voltage as marked on the projector body. The projector should be connected to electrical outlet using a power cord compatible with the local electrical voltage. If you are not sure about the type of electrical service at your location, consult your projector dealer or local power company.

6. 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.

7. 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 cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

USER GUIDE LCD PROJECTOR

8. Non-use Periods - The power cord of the projector should be

unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.

9. Damage Requiring Service - The projector should be serviced only

by authorized service personnel when;

• the power supply cord or the plug has been damaged,

• objects have fallen, or liquid spilled, into the projector,

• the projector has been exposed to water or condense,

• the projector does not appear to operate normally (fan not

working, noise, smell, smoke, heat etc.)

• the projector has been dropped or damaged.

10. Object or Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do

not fall into the projector casing. Be careful not to spill liquids into the inside of the projector. Do not insert metal or flammable objects into the projector.

11. Servicing - The user should not attempt to perform unusual or

technical service to the projector. Do not open the unit. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel.

12. Grounding or Polarization - Precautions should be taken so that

grounding or polarization of a projector is maintained. Do not use a three prong to a two prong adapter.

To prevent electric shock, do not use the polarized ac plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.

13. Lamp Replacement - Do not attempt to replace lamp. Contact an

authorized service centre for lamp replacement.

14. Abnormality - If you detect an abnormal smell or smoke,

immediately turn off the power switch. Disconnect the power plug from the power switch to prevent fire or electric shock.

15. Lifting/moving - When the projector is to be moved, let the unit

cool down completely, cover the lens, disconnect the power plug from the power outlet and disconnect all external cords and cables to prevent damage that may cause a fire, electric shock, etc. Be

6 SETTING UP THE LCD PROJECTOR

6.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Switch off all equipment before connecting together the various items. Be aware of static electricity that may build up, especially in the dry season and when operating on synthetic carpets. Discharge any static electricity by touching a metallic surface before you start.

Do not cover the air inlets in front and on top of the projector housing, as this will block the cooling. Also make sure to place the projector on a flat, hard surface to avoid blocking the air inlet at the bottom of the unit. A thermal safety switch will cut off the illumination system if the ventilation is reduced.

Do not connect any devices or cables other than those supplied with the LCD projector into the connector ports on the projector unit, even if the connector ports appear identical, as this voids any warranty and may cause permanent damage to the projector, and to the connected source apparatus.
