Introduction
This manual is intended for trained users operating professional high-brightness projection systems. Such users may also be trained to replace the lamp and air filter, but cannot install the projector or perform any service functions on the M Series projector.
Only Christie accredited technicians knowledgeable about all potential hazards associated with high voltage, ultraviolet exposure and high temperatures generated by the lamp and associated circuits are authorized to assemble/install the projector and perform service functions inside the projector.
Purchase record and service contacts
Whether the projector is under warranty or the warranty has expired, Christie’s highly trained and extensive factory and dealer service network is always available to quickly diagnose and correct projector malfunctions. Complete service manuals and updates are available for all projectors. Should a problem be encountered with any part of the projector, contact your dealer. In most cases, servicing is performed on site. If you have purchased the projector, fill out the information below and keep with your records.

How the projector works
The projector accepts data/graphics and video input signals for projection onto front or rear screens. Light is generated by dual mercury lamps, then modulated by three Digital Micro-mirror Device (DMD) panels that provide digitized red, green or blue color information. Light from the “ON” pixels of each panel is reflected, converged, and then projected to the screen through a single front lens, where all pixels are perfectly superimposed as a sharp full-color image.
User interface overview
The projector is controlled through a menu system displayed on the image. The menu system is controlled by an IR remote, wired remote, or through the built-in keypad. The LCD screen and built-in keypad allow some functions to be controlled without the need of an OSD display, and provide an accessible interface to view error reporting. The functions on the OSD can also be controlled using the Christie Serial Protocol, through a serial or Ethernet connection to the projector. The Web interface provides access to the menu system as a Virtual OSD (On-screen display) and to features that maintain the software and settings.
List of components
Ensure the following components were received with the projector:
•IR remote keypad

Introduction
Safety warnings and guidelines
General Precautions
Danger! Failure to comply with the following results in death or serious injury.
• FIRE HAZARD. Keep hands, clothes and all combustible material away from the concentrated light beam of the projector. Position all cables where they cannot contact hot surfaces or be pulled or tripped over.
Warning! Failure to comply with the following could result in death or serious injury.
• All installation and maintenance procedures must be performed by a Christie qualified technician.
Warning! Failure to comply with the following could result in death or serious injury.
• Projector must be operated in an environment that meets operating specifications.
AC/power precautions
Warning! Failure to comply with the following could result in death or serious injury.
• Use only the AC power cord supplied. Do not attempt operation if the AC supply and cord are not within the specified voltage and power range. See the license label on the back of the projector for rated voltage and power.
Warning! Failure to comply with the following could result in death or serious injury.
• The projector is equipped with a three-wire plug with a grounding pin. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to have the outlet replaced. NEVER defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
Warning! Failure to comply with the following could result in death or serious injury.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Locate the power cord where persons walking on it or objects rolling over it cannot damage the cord.
Lamp precautions
Warning! Failure to comply with the following could result in death or serious injury.
• Never attempt to access the lamp while the lamp is ON. After turning the lamp OFF, it is crucial that you wait at least 10 minutes before handling the lamp. This provides sufficient time for the lamp cooling fans to properly cool the lamp.

Installation and Setup
This section explains how to install, connect, and optimize the projector for delivery of superior image quality.
Installing a projection lens
The projection lens, shipped separately from the projector, must be installed prior to setting up the projector.
Warning! Failure to comply with the following could result in death or serious injury.
• Remove the lens plug from the lens opening in the projector before installing the lens. Retain the lens plug for projector transportation to protect the optical components from dust and debris.
Notice. Failure to comply with the following may result in property damage.
•The lens seals the projector, preventing contaminants from entering the interior of the projector. Never operate a projector without a lens. Remove the rear lens cap from the lens. Keep the front lens cap on the lens to protect it during installation.
•When installing the lens, ensure that the lens is not inserted at an angle, as this can cause damage.
1.Rotate the lens clamp to the OPEN position, as shown.
