1.3Electrical safety on Power Connection
Rating & Groundings
•This product should be operated from an AC power source. Check if the mains voltage and load matches the product electrical
ratings.
•A grounded three-core power cable has to be used. Connect the power cord by inserting it in a grounded electrical outlet,
making sure that the cord is properly grounded.
•If you are unable to install the AC Requirements, contact your electrician. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding.
•Always connect this appliance to an electrically grounded outlet. Never use a ground bypass (cheater) adapter.
General
•Always plug power cord into appliance before plugging into outlet.
•Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where persons will walk on the cord.
•Always unplug appliance from electrical outlet before cleaning and servicing and when not in use. Never yank cord to pull plug
from outlet. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
•Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or if the appliance has been dropped or damaged - until it has been examined
by a qualified serviceman.
•Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or contact hot surfaces.
•If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the appliance should be used. Cord rated
for less amperage than the appliance may overheat.
•Let appliance cool completely before storing. Remove cord from appliance when storing.
•Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out
parts that could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
•Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the set and have it
checked by qualified service personnel before resuming operations.
•Lightning - For added protection for this video product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the projector due to lightning and AC power-line
surges.
1.4Protection on Servicing

Do not attempt to service the installed module yourself, as op
potential and risk of electric shock! Refer all ACSAR service to a qualified BARCO service center.
Call for service in the following conditions :
•When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
•If liquid has been spilled into the modules.
•If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
•If the product does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions since improper adjustment of the other controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation;
•If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged;
•If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance, indi
Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used original BARCO replacement parts or authorized
replacement parts which have the same characteristics as the BARCO original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in degraded performance and reliability, fire, electric shock or other hazards. Unauthorized substitutions may void warranty.
Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to these modules, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that
the modules are in proper operating condition.
