INFORMATION TO THE USER

NOTE : This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,

pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of
this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will
be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

As the owner of a new Boxlight CP-7t, you are probably eager to try out your new projector. Before you do,
we suggest that your spend a little time reading this manual to familiarize yourself with the operating
procedures, so that you will receive maximum satisfaction from the many features included in your new
projector.
This owner's manual will acquaint you with your projector's features. Reading it will help us too. Through the
years, we have found that many service requests were not caused by problems with our projectors. They
were caused by problems that could have been prevented, if the owner had followed the instructions in the
manual.
You can often correct operating problems yourself. If your projector fails to work properly, see
"TROUBLESHOOTING" section on pages 36 ~ 37 and try the solution marked for each problem.

WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.

This Boxlight CP-7t has a grounding-type AC line plug. This is a safety feature to be sure that the plug will
fit into the power outlet. Do not try to defeat this safety feature.
This projector produces intense light from the projection lens. Do not stare directly into the lens as
possible eye damage could result. Be especially careful that children do not stare directly into the beam.
This projector should be set in the way indicated. If not, It may result in fire hazard.
If the projector will not be used for an extended time, unplug the projector from the power outlet.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

All the safety and operating instructions should be read before
the product is operated.

Read all of the instructions given here and retain them for
later use. Unplug this projector from AC power supply before
cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning.

Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

Do not place this projector on an unstable cart, stand, or
table. The projector may fall, causing serious injury to a child
or adult, and serious damage to the projector. Use only with
a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer, or sold
with the projector. Wall or shelf mounting should follow the
manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting kit
approved by the manufacturers.

Do not expose this unit to rain or use near water... for
example, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc...

Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are
provided for ventilation, to insure reliable operation of the
equipment and to protect it from overheating.

The openings should never be covered with cloth or other
materials, and the bottom opening should not be blocked by
placing the projector on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. This projector should never be placed near or over a
radiator or heat register.

This projector should not be placed in a built-in installation
such as a book case unless proper ventilation is provided.

This projector should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supplied, consult your authorized dealer or
local power company.

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can
result in fire or electric shock. Do not allow anything to rest
on the power cord. Do not locate this projector where the
cord may be damaged by persons walking on it.

Never push objects of any kind into this projector through
cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the projector.

Do not attempt to service this projector yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.

Unplug this projector from wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the projector.
c. If the projector has been exposed to rain or water.

d. If the projector does not operate normally by following the

operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions as improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the projector to normal operation.

e. If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been

damaged.

f. When the projector exhibits a distinct change in

performance-this indicates a need for service.

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this projector,
ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to
determine that the projector is in safe operating condition.

This projector is equipped with a
grounding type AC line plug.
Should you be unable to insert the
plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of this grounding

type plug.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the projectors.
For added protection to the projector 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
due to lightning and power line surges.

An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance
and cart combination to overturn.

If the projector is to be built into a compartment or similarly
enclosed, the minimum distances must be maintained.
Do not cover the ventilation slot on the projector.
Heat build-up can reduce the service life of your projector,
and can also be dangerous.

the correct input voltage. It is designed to work with
single-phase power systems having a grounded neutral
conductor. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not
plug into any other type of power system.
Consult your authorized dealer or service station if your
are not sure of the type of power supply in use.
Connect the projector with the peripheral equipment
before turning the projector on. (Refer to pages 10 ~15
for connection.)
