Important Safety Instructions

When using your video equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read and understand all instructions before using.

2. Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or
contact hot surfaces.

3. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at
least equal to that of the appliance should be used. Cords rated
for less amperage than the appliance may overheat.

Save These Instructions

4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this
appliance. Contact an authorized service dealer when repair
work is required. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock
when the appliance is used subsequently.

5. The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause a risk of ire, electric shock, or injury to
persons.

Screen Operation

CAUTION!

The arms of the screen are under high spring tension.

Do not stand over the screen while it is operating.

Do not sit, stand, or put anything on the screen case door.

Do not apply anything (wood inish, carpet, additional

laminate, etc.) to the screen case door. Any weight added to
the screen case door may cause the screen to malfunction
over time.

The case door activates a safety switch inside the screen

case. If you attempt to raise the screen while something is
holding the door shut, the motor will reverse and retract the
screen. The door must be fully closed to activate this switch.
Be sure there is nothing holding the door ajar.

ATTENTION! Les ressorts des bras de l'écran sont fortement

tendus.

Ne vous placez pas devant l'écran pendant son

fonctionnement.

Ne vous asseyez pas, ne vous tenez pas debout, ou ne placez

aucun objet sur la trappe du caisson de l'écran.

Ne couvrez pas la trappe du caisson de l'écran avec un

revêtement en bois, de la moquette, des stratiiés
supplémentaires, etc. Tout poids ajouté à la trappe du
caisson de l'écran pourrait entraîner, avec le temps, le
dysfonctionnement de l'écran.

La trappe du caisson active un interrupteur de sécurité situé

à l'intérieur du caisson de l'écran. Si vous essayez d'élever
l'écran alors que quelque chose tient la trappe fermée, le
moteur rétractera l'écran. La trappe doit être complètement
fermée pour activer cet interrupteur. Vériiez que la trappe
n'est pas entrouverte.

second time while it is rising, the screen will stop. By pushing the
switch a third time the screen will retract and close.

3. To lower the screen from the fully up position, press and release
the wall switch and the screen will retract and close.
