Important Safety Information

Please read all of the following instructions before setting

up your Eclipse. Failure to follow these instructions

properly could lead to physical injury.

• The Eclipse must be used on a flat, level table. Never attempt to use it on a sloping surface or on a table that cannot accommodate the full footprint of the unit.

• The front of the Eclipse must be placed at least 10cms or 4 inches back from the edge of the table. This is to prevent the unit from tipping forward if excessive weight is placed on the reading table when fully extended. There are warning labels placed on the reading table with arrows indicating the maximum overhang permissible when the table is fully extended.

• Both X/Y table and Screen contain moving parts. Please take care with folding back the screen and operating the X/Y table. If fingers get caught, injury might occur. If you feel you cannot operate the unit safely, please seek advice or contact your supplier.

• Never lift the Eclipse by the reading table.

• To prevent fire or electric shock please ensure this unit is kept away from all

liquids. Do not use the unit in excessively damp or wet areas and do not expose it to rain, snow, etc.

• Before cleaning the unit, please ensure that it is unplugged. Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the exterior. Do NOT use solvents or aerosol cleaners.

• This unit should never be opened. It contains hazardous voltages. Unauthorized servicing will invalidate your warranty. If you encounter any problems with this unit please contact your local dealer.

• While we have made every effort to minimize the weight of this unit, if you feel you cannot safely lift it, seek help when moving it.

• Before moving the unit, unplug the power adapter, ensure the screen is folded back and the reading table is parked home with the brakes applied.

• Use only with the power adapter provided.

• Never place any object on the screen. The screen can be scratched or

broken easily and damage to it is not covered under warranty.

Using the Eclipse

1. Setting up

Lift the Eclipse from its packaging and place it on a solid, level desk. Raise the screen upright.

Plug the power adapter into the mains using the lead provided and insert the other connector into the socket on the rear bulkhead of the Eclipse.

Ensure the unit is placed at least 10cms (4 inches) back from the edge of the desk. Sit in front of the unit.

Press the red button on the right of the front panel to turn the Eclipse on. The Eclipse will beep to indicate power-on and the lamps will light. After a few seconds, the image will appear on the screen.

Release the brake on the reading table and pull the table out towards you. If you push the table back in again, you will see that the table locks home only when located centrally between its legs. Place some text on the table and you should see it on the screen.

2. Folding down and moving

Turn off the unit and unplug the power adapter from the Eclipse and also from the wall socket. Remove all material from the reading table, park the table centrally between its legs and apply the brakes. Fold the screen back.
