The safety instructions provided in this manual are to ensure the long life of your projector and to prevent fire and shock. Please read them carefully and heed all warnings.
Fire and Shock Precautions
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent potentially dangerous concentrations of ozone and the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow at least 20cm (8”) of space between your projector and a wall. Allow at least 50cm (20”) of space between the ventilation duct outlet and object.
Ensure that nothing can be spilled on, or dropped inside the projector. If this does happen, switch off and unplug the mains supply immediately. Do not operate the projector again until it has been checked by qualified service personnel.
Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your projector.
Lamp Precautions
Due to the lamp being sealed in a pressurised environment, there is a small risk of explosion, if not operated correctly. There is minimal risk involved, if the unit is in proper working order, but if damaged or operated beyond the recommended 1500 hours, the risk of explosion increases.
The projector has a warning system that displays the following message when you reach 1500 hours of operation - Lamp Running Time is Over 1500 Hours!!. When you see this message please contact your Digital Projection dealer for a replacement lamp.
If the lamp does explode, smoke will be discharged from the vents located on the side of the unit. This smoke is comprised of glass in particulate form and Xenon

gas, and will not cause harm if kept out of your eyes. If your eyes have been exposed to this gas, please flush your eyes out with water immediately and seek immediate medical attention. Do not rub your eyes as this could cause serious injury.
WARNING: Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.
CAUTION: The high pressure lamp may explode if improperly handled. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Power Supply
The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 1.0kW 100-120VAC /
1.5kW 200-240VAC 50/60Hz. Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your projector.
Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending. A damaged cord can cause electric shock or fire.
Running the power cord and the RGB cable close to each other can cause beat noise. If this happens, keep the two separated so that beat noise is not generated.
If the projector is not be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the plug from the power outlet. Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet under the following circumstances, doing so may cause damage to the projector:
a) Immediately after the power cable is plugged into the wall outlet (the POWER
indicator has not changed to a steady amber glow).
b) Immediately after the lamp has been switched off. After the projector is turned
off with the POWER OFF button the cooling fan continues to operate for 3 minutes while the Two Digit INDICATOR "--" flashes.
c) While the hour glass icon or the message ‘Please wait a litttle’ is being displayed.

Remote Control

All the functions of your HIGHlite Displays projector can be controlled using the remote control. The remote control unit can operate either by infra red or by direct connection to the projector via a hard wire connection.
For infra red operation the remote control requires to be powered by 2 AAA (HP16/RO3/LR03) alkaline batteries. The battery compartment is located on the back of the remote control. To remove the compartment cover press and open as shown below.
Insert the first battery into the compartment according to the (+) and (-) indications inside the case and it to the back of the compartment. Insert the second battery by pivoting it against the first and pushing down into place. When the batteries are securely in place, replace the battery compartment cover.
When using infra red operation the remote control has an effective range of about 7m (23 feet) and at an angle of 30° above, below, to the left and to the right of the remote control sensors located at the front and the rear of the projector.
The remote control should not be exposed to heat, steam, water or any other liquid. If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
When remote control buttons are pressed and held down the main unit function keys may not operate.
You cannot operate the projector using the remote control if the remote ID is not set to [00] or the remote ID is not the same as the projector ID.
Very bright flourescent lighting or Infra Red translation systems may saturate the projectors’ Infra Red receiver rendering the remote control inoperative.

INSTALLATION
LBV00072; Revision A - 25/09/2001
This installation section explains how to install the projector for optimum results. To do this, it is necessary to determine the following:
1. The type of screen and whether front or rear projection is to be used.
2. The projector location and therefore the type of lens to be used.
3. The method of mounting for the projector.
4. The type of input source to be used with the projector.
Screen Requirements
As virtually all commercially available screens will give a pleasing image you should choose according to your individual requirements. However, to achieve optimum results we recommend a low gain (1.2 - 1.3), non-perforated screen for front projection, this will keep hot spotting and light loss to a minimum whilst providing wide viewing angles.
Regardless of the type of screen used, it is important that your screen is of sufficient height to display the images at the aspect ratios intended to be used. Use the following tables to check that you are able to display the full image on your screen. If you have insufficient height, you will have to reduce the overall image size in order to display the full image on your screen.

Screen Height (metres) Needed to Display Full Image with Aspect Ratio:
For optimum viewing, the screen should be a flat surface perpendicular to the floor. The bottom of the screen should be 1.2m (4 feet) above the floor and the front row of the audience should not have to look up more than 30° to see the top of the screen (see opposite).
The distance between the front row of the audience and the screen should be at least twice the screen height and the distance between the back row and the screen should be a maximum of 8 times the screen height. The screen viewing area should be within a 60° range from the face of the screen.
If you intend to use a rear projection screen you must ensure you have sufficient distance behind the screen for the projector to be correctly located Rear projection has the advantage that the projector cannot be seen and higher ambient light levels can be tolerated. Although the image can be flipped to rear projection and displayed without the need for extra mirrors or equipment, it makes the installation more complicated and advice should be sought from your local dealer before attempting an installation in this way.
