Disposal Information

This equipment has required the extraction and use of natural resources for its production. It may contain hazardous substances for health
and environment. In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances in the environment and to diminish the pressure on natural
resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate take-back systems. Those systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials of your
end of life equipment in a sound way.

The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol invites you to use those systems. If you need more information on the collection, reuse and recycling
systems, please contact your local or regional waste administrator. You can also contact us for more information on the environmental
performances of our products.

Guarantee and Compensation

Barco provides a guarantee relating to perfect manufacturing as part of the legally stipulated terms of guarantee. On receipt, the purchaser
must immediately inspect all delivered goods for damage incurred during transport, as well as for material and manufacturing faults Barco
must be informed immediately in writing of any complaints.

The period of guarantee begins on the date of transfer of risks, in the case of special systems and software on the date of commissioning,
at latest 30 days after the transfer of risks. In the event of justified notice of complaint, Barco can repair the fault or provide a replacement
at its own discretion within an appropriate period. If this measure proves to be impossible or unsuccessful, the purchaser can demand a
reduction in the purchase price or cancellation of the contract. All other claims, in particular those relating to compensation for direct or
indirect damage, and also damage attributed to the operation of software as well as to other services provided by Barco, being a component
of the system or independent service, will be deemed invalid provided the damage is not proven to be attributed to the absence of properties
guaranteed in writing or due to the intent or gross negligence or part of Barco.

If the purchaser or a third party carries out modifications or repairs on goods delivered by Barco, or if the goods are handled incorrectly,
in particular if the systems are commissioned operated incorrectly or if, after the transfer of risks, the goods are subject to influences not
agreed upon in the contract, all guarantee claims of the purchaser will be rendered invalid. Not included in the guarantee coverage are
system failures which are attributed to programs or special electronic circuitry provided by the purchaser, e.g. interfaces. Normal wear as
well as normal maintenance are not subject to the guarantee provided by Barco either.

Notice on Safety

The LDAT™ is built in accordance with the requirements of the international safety standards EN60950, UL 1950 and CSA C22.2
No.950, which are the safety standards of information technology equipment including electrical business equipment. These safety
standards impose important requirements on the use of safety critical components, materials and isolation, in order to protect the
user or operator against risk of electric shock and energy hazard, and having access to live parts. Safety standards also impose
limits to the internal and external temperature rises, radiation levels, mechanical stability and strength, enclosure construction and
protection against the risk of fire. Simulated single fault condition testing ensures the safety of the equipment to the user even when
the equipment’s normal operation fails.

Operation Instructions

Before operating this equipment please read this manual thoroughly, and retain it for future reference.

Installation and Service Instructions

Installation and Service adjustments should only be performed by qualified BARCO personnel or by authorized BARCO service
