SAFETY & WARNINGS

This user guide contains important information about safety precautions and the set-up and use of the projector. Please read the manual carefully before you operate the projector.

SAFETY

This device complies with relevant safety regulations for data processing equipment for use in an office environment. Before using the projector for the first time, please read the safety instructions thoroughly.

WARNING

Use only the cables and cords supplied with the projector or original replacement cables. Using other cables or cords may lead to malfunction and permanent damage of the unit.

Always use 3-prong / grounded power cord to ensure proper grounding of the unit. Never use 2-prong power cords, as this is dangerous and could lead to electrical shock.

Never open the unit. The projector contains no user serviceable parts. Refer all repairs to qualified personnel only.

Make sure that no objects enter into the vents and openings of the set. Do not spill any liquids on the projector or into the vents or openings of the unit.

Always remove lens cap before switching on the projector. If the lens cap is not removed, it may melt due to the high energy light emitted through the lens. Melting the lens cap may permanently damage the surface of the projection lens.

Do not look into the projection lens when the projector is switched on. The strong light may permanently damage sight.

Do not look into the laser beam when activated on the remote control. Laser light may permanently damage sight. Do not point laser beam on people.

Only place the projector on a stable surface, or mount it securely using an approved ceiling-mount.

Do not drop the projector.

Always operate the projector horizontally, within the range of the adjustable rear feet. Operating the unit in other positions may reduce lamp life significantly, and may lead to overheating, resulting in malfunctioning.

Always allow ample airflow through the projector. Never block any of the air vents. Never cover the unit in any way while running. Allow for sufficient distance to walls and ceilings to avoid overheating. Minimum safety distance to any side of the unit is 50 cm / 20" in any direction.

CAUTION! Hot air is exhausted from the rear vent. Do not place objects that are sensitive to heat nearer than 50cm / 20" to the exhaust vent.

The projector is designed for indoor use only. Never operate the unit outdoors.

SAFETY & WARNINGS

Do not operate the projector outside its temperature and humidity specifications, as this may result in overheating and malfunctioning.

Only connect the projector to signal sources and voltages as described in the technical specification. Connecting to unspecified signal sources or voltages may lead to malfunction and permanent damage of the unit.

Allow the unit to cool down for 60 minutes before lamp change.

INFORMATION AND WARNING ABOUT POTENTIAL HEALTH ISSUES RELATED TO MERCURY VAPOR.

This projector uses a very powerful UHP™ lamp for illumination to produce an extremely bright image.

This technology is similar to other high-pressure discharge lamps that are extensively used in cars, street lights and other lighting appliances today. These lamps, like fluorescent lighting, contain small amounts of mercury. The amount of mercury present in a lamp is far below the limits of danger set by the authorities.

It is very important that lamps containing mercury are treated properly to minimize potential health hazards.

The UHP™ lamp, like any other high brightness projector lamp, is under high-pressure when operating. While the lamp and the projector are carefully designed to minimize the probability of lamp rupture, the lamp may break while operating and small amounts of mercury vapor may be emitted from the projector. The probability of rupture increases when the lamp reaches its nominal life. It is therefore highly recommended that the lamp is replaced when the rated lifetime is reached.

As a general precaution, secure good ventilation in the room when operating the projector. If lamp rupture occurs, evacuate the room and secure good ventilation. Children and pregnant women in particular should leave the room.

When replacing a worn lamp, dispose of the used lamp carefully by proper recycling.

Mercury is a naturally occurring, stable metallic element that may pose a safety risk to people under certain conditions. According to the Public Health Statement for Mercury published by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry ("ATSDR", part of the United States Public Health Service), the brain, central nervous system and kidneys are sensitive to the effects of mercury, and permanent damage can occur at sufficiently high levels of exposure. Acute exposure to high concentrations of mercury vapor can cause conditions such as lung and airway irritation, tightness in the chest, a burning sensation in the lungs, coughing, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Children and fetuses are particularly sensitive to the harmful effects of metallic mercury to the nervous system.

Seek medical attention if any of the above symptoms are experienced or if other unusual conditions are experienced following lamp rupture.

OPTIONAL LENSES

A range of fixed and zoom lenses is available to cover most applications, both front and rear. The lenses are powered and fitted with a bayonet mount for ease of installation.

Switch off all equipment before setting-up for proper function.

When mounting and changing lenses, be aware that the optical system is exposed to dust and foreign particles as long as the lens is not attached to the system. Do not leave the lens mount open longer than necessary to change lens. If a lens is not mounted, always insert the protection lid to avoid dust and foreign particles entering the internal optics.

Never run the projector without lens mounted.

A Remove the protection lid from the bayonet mount by turning the

knob anti-clockwise.

B Remove the rear lens cap.

C Attach the projection lens using the bayonet mount, observing the

red insertion marks.

D Turn the lens firmly clockwise until it stops with a click.

E Remove the lens cap from the projection lens. If you switch the

projector on with the lens cap in place, the lens cap may melt, damaging not only the lens cap, but also the projection lens and surrounding parts.

F To change lens, first remove the curret lens by pushing the release

button and twisting the lens counter-clockwise until it comes loose.

- Pull the lens out.

- Insert the new lens as described above.

REMOTE CONTROL

The remote control allows flexible access to the projector settings, either through direct keys, or through the menu system. The remote control is backlit for use in dark environments. It also has a datajack that allows for wired connection to the projector. When the wire is connected, the IR (infra-red) beam and internal batteries are switched off.

The remote control can be operated either in 'broadcast mode', or 'individual mode'. When several projectors are in use in an installation, individual control may be convenient. Individual control is available either by wired remote control, using the data-jack, or by using an individual number code.

For individual control, first set the individual RC ID code using the projector menu system, see the UTILITIES sub menu.

Then, to select a specific projector to control, first press the '

' button in the lower keypad area, then the code as set in the target projector. A code can be in the range '0'..'255'. '0' is reserved for broadcast. To select another target, repeat the process by pressing '

' and a new code. To exit individual control, press
