2.1Safety warnings
WARNING: Before installing the projector, read first the safety instructions in the safety manual (R5975258)
delivered with the projector.
Insure that the projector is installed in an easy to evacuate room in case of a lamp explosion.
Mercury Vapor Warnings
Keep the following warnings in mind when using the projector. The lamp used in the projector contains mercury. In case of a lamp
rupture, explosion there will be a mercury vapor emission. In order to minimize the potential risk of inhaling mercury vapors:
•Ensure the projector is installed only in ventilated rooms.
•Replace the lamp module before the end of its operational life.
•Promptly ventilate the room after a lamp rupture, explosion has occurred, evacuate the room (particularly in case of a pregnant
woman).
•Seek medical attention if unusual health conditions occur after a lamp rupture, explosion, such as headache, fatigue, shortness
of breath, chest-tightening coughing or nausea.

the optimum use of the projection system.
Max. ambient temperature : 40 °C or 104 °F
Min. ambient temperature : 0 °C or 32 °F
The projector will not operate if ambient air temperature falls outside this range (0°C- 40°C or 32°F-104°F).
Environment
Do not install the projection system in a site near heat sources
excessive dust or humidity. Be aware that room heat rises to the ceiling; check that temperature near the installation site is not
excessive

as free flow at the ventilation outlets. The installati

a feasible solution then measures to relocate the projector to a clean air environment should be considered. Make sure that the

has been specifically designed for cleaning optical parts, never use industrial strength cleaners on a projectors optics as these will
degrade optical coatings and damage sensitive optoelectronics .
Failure to take suitable precautions to protect the projector from the effects of persistent and prolonged air contaminants will culminate in extensive and irreversible ingrained optical damage. At this stage cleaning of the internal optical units will be non-effective
and impracticable. Damage of this nature is under no circumstances covered under the manufactures warranty and may deem the
warranty null and void. In such a case the client shall be held solely responsible for all costs incurred during any repair. It is the
clients responsibility to ensure at all times that the projector is protected from the harmful effects of hostile airborne particles in the
environment of the projector. The manufacture reserves the right to refuse warranty repair if a projector has been subject to wantful
neglect, abandon or improper use.
What about ambient light ?
The ambient light level of any room is made up of direct or indirect sunlight and the light fixtures in the room. The a
light will determine how bright the image will appear. So, avoid direct light on the screen. Windows that face the screen should be
covered by opaque drapery while the set is being viewed. It is desirable to install the projection system in a room whose walls and
floor are of non-reflecting material. The use of recessed ceiling lights and a method of dimming those ligh
is also important. Too much ambient light will ‘wash out’ of the projected image. This appears as less contrast between the darkest
and lightest parts of the image. With bigger screens, the ‘wash out’ becomes more important. As a general rule, darken the room to
the point where there is just sufficient light to read or write comfortably. Spot li
interference with the screen is minimal.
ghting is desirable for illuminating small areas so that

ts to an acceptable level
Which screen type ?
There are two major categories of screens used for projection equipment. Those used for front projected images and those for rear
projection applications. Screens are rated by how much light they reflect (or transmit in the case of rear projection systems) given a
determined amount of light projected toward them. The ‘GAIN’ of a screen is the term used. Front and rear screens are both rated
in terms of gain. The gain of screens range from a white matte screen with a gain of 1 (x1) to a brushed aluminized screen with a
gain of 10 (x10) or more. The choice between higher and lower gain screens is largely a matter of personal preference and another
consideration called the Viewing angle. In considering the type of screen to choose, determine where the viewers will be located
and go for the highest gain screen possible. A high gain screen will provide a brighter picture but reduce the viewing angle. For
more information about screens, contact your local screen supplier.

Image retention
Image retention can affect LCD projectors, in extreme cases, permanent “burn” can occur if still/repetitive images are left on the
screen for long periods of time. Such damage to the panels is NOT covered by warranty.
Please ensure that the following precautions a

2.Periodically change/alter any background images on the desktop

2.4.5Cleaning the lens
To minimize the possibility of damage to optical coatings, or scratches to lens surfaces, we have developed
recommendations for cleaning. FIRST, we recommend you try to remove any material from the lens by blowing
it off with clean, dry deionized air. DO NOT use any liquid to clean the lenses.
Necessary tools

Howtocleanthelens?
Proceed as follow :
1. Always wipe lenses with a CLEAN Toraysee
2. Always wipe lenses in a single direction.
Warning: Do not wipe back and forwards across the lens surface as this tends to grind dirt into the coating.
3. Do not leave cleaning cloth in either an open room or lab coat pocket, as doing so can contaminate the cloth.
4. If smears occur when cleaning lenses, replace the cloth. Smears are the first indication of a dirty cloth.

Component Video signals (PR/Y/PB)
Some interfaces use progressive output signals with a double line frequency of 32 kHz. The video decoder
used for the video signals is not appropriate for these signals since it can only handle 16 kHz signals. This
signal has therefore to be internally redirected, this is done in the Sourceselection menu by selecting Data onBNC’s instead of Component video and by selecting Pr/Y/Pb in the advanced settings of the Image file menu.

Digital Visual Interface is a display interface developed in response to the proliferation of digital flat panel displays.
The digital video connectivity standard that was developed by DDWG (Digital Display Work Group). This connection
standard offers two different connectors: one with 24 pins that handles digital video signals only, and one with 29 pins
that handles both digital and analog video. This standard uses TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signal) from
Silicon Image and DDC (Display Data Channel) from VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association).
DVI can be single or dual link.
