and to prevent fire and shock. Please read them carefully and heed all
warnings.
Installation
1. Place the projector on a flat, level surface and in a dry area free from
dust and moisture.
2. Do not place the projector in direct sunlight, near heaters or heat
radiating appliances.
3. Exposure to direct sunlight, smoke or steam could harm internal components.
4. Handle your projector carefully. Dropping or jarring your projector could
damage internal components.
5. Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector.
6. If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling:
a Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
b The projector must be installed by qualified technicians in order to ensure
proper operation and reduce the risk of bodily injury.
c In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector
and the installation must be in accordance with any local building codes.
d Please consult your dealer for more information.
e Do not attempt to stack projectors on the ceiling.
To Dealer or Installer:
To prevent the projector from falling, install it in a place and fasten it in a
way with sufficient strength to support the combined weight (107 kg/
236 lb) of the projector (84 kg/185.3 lb), the lens (10 kg/22 lb) and the
ceiling mount(13 kg/28.7 lb) for an extended period of time as well as to
withstand earthquakes.
Power Supply
1. The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 2.8 KW
AC200-240V 50/60Hz. Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your projector.
Fire and Shock Precautions
1. 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 8 inches
(20cm) of space between your projector and a wall. Allow at least 20
inches (50 cm) of space between the ventilation outlet and object.
2. Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from
falling into your projector. Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that
might fall into your projector. Do not insert any metal objects such as
a wire or screwdriver into your projector. If something should fall into
your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed
by a qualified your service person.
3. Do not place any liquids on top of your projector.
CAUTION: High Pressure Lamp May Explode if Improperly Handled.
Refer Servicing to Qualified Service Personnel.
Lamp Caution: Please read before operation
Due to the lamp being sealed in a pressurized 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 750 hours, the risk of explosion
increases.
Please note that there is a warning system built in, that displays the
following message when you reach 750 hours of operation” Lamp
Running Time is Over 750 Hours!!” When you see this message
please contact your Digital Projection Dealer for a replacement.
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! This could cause seri-
ous injury.
WARNING: Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.
2. Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending. A
damaged cord can cause electric shock or fire.
3. If the projector will not be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the plug from the power outlet.
4. Placing the power cord and the RGB cable closely to each other can
cause beat noise. If this happens, keep the two separated so that
beat noise is not generated.
Cleaning
1. Unplug the projector before cleaning.
2. Clean the cabinet periodically with a damp cloth. If heavily soiled,
use a mild detergent. Never use strong detergents or solvents such
as alcohol or thinner.
3. Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful not to
scratch or mar the lens.
CAUTION
Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet under any one of
the following circumstances. Doing so can cause damage to the
projector:
• While the message "Please wait a moment" appears. This message will be displayed after the projector is turned off.
• Immediately after the power cable is plugged into the wall outlet
(the POWER indicator has not changed to a steady orange glow).
• Immediately after the cooling fan stops working (After the projector is turned off with the POWER OFF button the cooling fan continues to work for 3 minutes while the Two Digit INDICATOR "--"
flashes).

Recommandations importantes
Ces instructions de sécurité ont pour but d'assurer une longue vie à
votre projecteur et d'éviter un incendie ou une décharge électrique. Prière
de les lire avec attention et de tenir compte de tous les avertissements.
Installation
1. Placer le projecteur sur une surface plate et de niveau, et dans un
endroit sec et à l'abri des poussières et de l'humidité.
2. Ne pas exposer le projecteur aux rayons directs du soleil, ni le placer
près d'un chauffage ou de dispositifs de radiation de chaleur.
3. L'exposition aux rayons directs du soleil, à la fumée ou à la vapeur
pourrait endommager des composants internes.
4. Manipuler le projecteur avec précautions. Laisser tomber le projecteur
ou lui donner des chocs pourrait endommager des composants internes.
5. Ne pas poser d'objets lourds sur le dessus du projecteur.
6. Si vous voulez installer le projecteur au plafond:
a. N’essayez pas d’installer le projecteur vous-même.
b. Le projecteur doit être installé par un technicien qualifié pour garantir une
installation réussie et réduire le risque d’éventuelles blessures corporelles.
c. De plus le plafond doit être suffisamment solide pour supporter le projecteur
et l’installation doit être conforme aux réglementations locales de con-
struction.
d. Veuillez consulter votre revendeur pour de plus amples informations.
e. Ne pas superposer les projecteurs accrochés au plafond.
A l’attention du revendeur ou de l’installateur:
Afin d’empêcher une chute éventuelle du projecteur, veuillez prendre
en compte lors de son placement et de sa fixation de la force nécessaire
pour supporter le poids total (107 kg), celui du projecteur (84 kg), de
l’objectif (10 kg) et de l’ensemble de fixation au plafond (13 kg), pour de
longues périodes et de façon à lui permettre de résister aux
tremblements de terre.
Alimentation
1. Le projecteur est conçu pour fonctionner sous une tension
d'alimentation de 2,8 KW CA 200-240 V 50/60 Hz. S'assurer que la
tension du secteur soit conforme à ces caractéristiques avant d'utiliser
le projecteur.
2. Manipuler le cordon d'alimentation avec précautions et éviter des
flexions excessives. Un cordon endommagé peut occasionner une
décharge électrique ou un incendie.
3. Si le projecteur ne doit pas être utilisé pendant une longue période,
débrancher la fiche de la prise de courant.
4. Placer le cordon d'alimentation et le câble RGB tout près l'un de
l'autre peut occasionner un bruit de battement. Si cela se produit, les
maintenir séparés jusqu'à ce que le bruit de battement disparaisse.
Nettoyage
1. Débrancher le projecteur avant de le nettoyer.
2. Nettoyer régulièrement le boîtier extérieur avec un chiffon humide.
S'il est très sale, utiliser un détergent doux. Ne jamais utiliser de
détergent forts ou de solvants tels que de l'alcool ou du diluant.
Précautions contre l'incendie ou la décharge
1. S'assurer qu'il y ait une ventilation suffisante et que les ouvertures
ne soient pas obstruées afin d'éviter des concentrations
potentiellement dangereuses d'ozone et l'accumulation de chaleur à
l'intérieur du projecteur. Laisser au moins 20 cm d'espace entre le
projecteur et un mur. Veuillez laisser un espace libre d’au moins 50
cm (20 pouces) entre les orifices de ventilation et l’objet.
2. Empêcher tous objets étrangers tels que des attaches trombones ou
des morceaux de papier de tomber à l'intérieur du projecteur. Ne pas
essayer de récupérer des objets qui seraient tombés dans le
projecteur. Ne pas introduire d'objets métalliques tels qu'un fil ou un
tournevis dans le projecteur. Si quelque-chose doit tomber dans le
projecteur, le débrancher immédiatement et faire enlever l'objet par
un technicien agréé Digital Projection.
3. Ne pas poser de liquides sur le dessus du projecteur.
ATTENTION: La lampe à haute pression peut exploser si elle est
manipulée incorrectement. Confier l'entretien à du personnel
d'entretien qualifié.
Précautions avec la lampe : lire avant l'utilisation
La lampe a été scellée dans un environnement sous pression, et il y
a donc un petit risque d'explosion, si elle n'est pas utilisée
correctement. Le risque est minime si l'appareil est en bon ordre de
marche, mais s'il est endommagé ou utilisé au-delà des 750 heures
recommandées, le risque d'explosion augmente alors.
Il est à noter l'existence d'un système d'avertissement intégré, lequel
affiche le message "Lamp Running Time is Over 750 Hours!! (Le
temps de fonctionnement de la lampe a dépassé 750 heures !!)"
lorsque les 750 heures de fonctionnement sont atteintes. Lorsque
ce message apparaît, prière de contacter son revendeur Digital
Projection pour un remplacement.
Si la lampe explose, de la fumée peut être produite par les fentes
d'aération situées sur le côté de l'appareil. Cette fumée est composée
de verre sous forme de particules et de gaz de Xenon, et n'est pas
nuisible si elle est maintenue à distance des yeux. Si les yeux sont
exposés à ce gaz, les rincer immédiatement à l'eau courante et consulter tout de suite un médecin. Ne pas frotter les yeux ! Cela
pourrait provoquer une grave blessure.
AVERTISSEMENT:
Ne pas regarder dans l'objectif lorsque le projecteur est allumé. De
sérieux dommages aux yeux pourraient en résulter.
ATTENTION
Ne pas débrancher le câble d’alimentation de la prise du secteur
dans les circonstances suivantes car cela risque d’endommager le
projecteur:
• Lorsque le message “Veuillez patientez un instant“ apparaît. Ce
message sera affiché après que le projecteur soit éteint.
• Immédiatement après que le cordon d'alimentation électrique ait
été branché sur la prise du mur (l'indicateur POWER n'est pas
encore devenu orange).
• Immédiatement après que le ventilateur de refroidissement de
soit arrêté de fonctionner. (Après que le projecteur ait été mis
hors tension à l’aide du bouton POWER OFF, le ventilateur
d’aération continue à tourner durant 3 minutes tandis que le
TÉMOIN à deux chiffres "--" clignote).
3. Utiliser un souffleur ou du papier pour objectif pour nettoyer l'objectif,
et faire attention de ne pas griffer ou endommager l'objectif.
