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
well dimensioned ceiling mounts from a renowned supplier. Connect the
7
USER GUIDE SVGA LCD PROJECTOR
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 (see
illustration below) 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.
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 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
8
USER GUIDE SVGA LCD PROJECTOR
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.)
• The projector has been dropped or damaged
22. ABNORMALITY - If you detect any abnormal smell or smoke,
immediately disconnect power plug. Disconnect the power plug from the
inlet to prevent fire or electrical shock.

6 MAKING THE CONNECTIONS
The projector may be connected to different equipment. The following
sections describe in detail how to connect to these systems.
See the illustration on the rear of the quick set-up card on how the various
system parts connect together.
Be aware of static electricity that may build up in the dry season and when
operating on synthetic carpets. Discharge any static electricity by touching a
metallic surface before you start.
Various cables are supplied or optionally available to connect to different
sources. Follow the list below in numerical order for a trouble-free set-up!
1. SWITCH OFF all equipment before making all the connections.
2. COMPUTER CABLE.
Connection to the projector is made through a basic computer cable and
appropriate adapters.
• PC. Use the computer cable directly to connect the graphics
port of the PC to the SOURCE 1 or SOURCE 2 connector on
the projector. If needed, connect your monitor cable to the free
branch on the computer cable.
• MAC. Use the optional MAC adapters, as marked, on the
computer end of the computer cable to adapt to the graphicsport connector and monitor connector on the MAC.
• NEC. Use the optional NEC adapters, as marked, on the
computer end of the computer cable to adapt to the graphicsport connector and monitor connector on the NEC.

USER GUIDE SVGA LCD PROJECTOR
3. SOUND.
The computer cable has a sound input branch at the projector end.
Connect sound from the computer using a standard 3.5-mm stereo jack
line cable (not supplied), or use the additional sound inputs (AUDIO 1 for
SOURCE 1 or AUDIO 2 for SOURCE 2).
4. MOUSE.
To enable mouse control from the remote control, a connection is made
using a mouse cable and various adapters. Connect the cable directly to
one of the MOUSE connectors on the projector (see illustration below).
Connect the appropriate adapter to the free end of the mouse cable at
the computer end as described below.

Connector panel
MOUSE 1
• SERIAL (RS 232). Use the serial adapter with a branch for the
local computer mouse. The serial adapter is fitted with a 9-pin
DSUB connector. Use an extra 9- to 25-pin adapter (available
from your dealer) if your computer has a 25-pin serial
connector. Connect your computer mouse to the free branch of
the adapter if desired. With some computers, the branched
adapter may not work. For this purpose, an optional straight
serial adapter is available.
• PS/2. Use the PS/2 adapter that connects directly to your
computer mouse port. Running the computer mouse in parallel
is not possible, unless your computer itself has provision for two
mice simultaneously. You may consider using the above serial
adapter and run your mouse on the serial port instead, in order
to be able to run your local mouse in parallel. This will require a
different mouse driver setting. Please consult your computer
documentation or local dealer for details.
• MAC. Use the optional MAC mouse adapter to connect to the
mouse port on your MAC computer.
