Important safety instructions
Your projector is designed and tested to meet the latest standards for safety of information
technology equipment. However, to ensure safe use of this product, it is important that you follow
the instructions mentioned in this manual and marked on the product.
1. Please read this user manual before you operate your projector. Keep this manual in a safe place
for future reference.
2. Always place the projector on a level, horizontal surface during operation.
- Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table as it may fall and be damaged.
- Do not place inflammables near the projector.
- Do not use if tilted at an angle of more than 10 degrees left to right, nor at angle of more than 15
degrees front to back.
3. Do not store the projector on end vertically. Doing so may cause the projector to fall over, causing
injury or resulting in damage.
4. Do not place the projector in any of the following environments:
- Space that is poorly ventilated or confined. Allow at least 50 cm clearance from walls and free
flow of air around the projector.
- Locations where temperatures may become excessively high, such as the inside of a car with all
windows closed.
- Locations where excessive humidity, dust, or cigarette smoke may contaminate optical
components, shorten the projector’s lifespan and darken the screen.
- Locations near fire alarms.
- Locations with conditions beyond those listed in "Projector specifications".
5. Do not block the vents while the projector is on (even in standby mode).
- Do not cover the projector with any item.
- Do not place the projector on a blanket, bedding or any other soft surface.
6. In areas where the mains power supply voltage may fluctuate by ±10 volts, it is recommended that
you connect the projector through a power stabilizer, surge protector or uninterruptible power
supply (UPS) as appropriate to your situation.
7. Do not step on the projector or place any objects upon it.
4
Important safety instructions
8. Do not place liquids near or on the projector. Liquids spilled into the projector will void your
warranty. If the projector does become wet, disconnect it from the power outlet and
contact to have the projector repaired.
9. Do not look straight into the projector lens during operation. It may harm your sight.
RG2 IEC 62471-5:2015
10. Do not operate the projector lamp beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of lamps
beyond the rated life could cause a lamp to break on rare occasions.
11. The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool for approximately 45
minutes prior to removing the lamp assembly for replacement.
12. Never attempt to replace the lamp assembly until the projector has cooled down and is unplugged
from the power supply.
13. This projector is capable of displaying inverted images for ceiling mount installation. Use only a
proper ceiling mount kit for mounting.
14. THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.
15. When installing the unit, incorporate a readily accessible disconnect device in the fixed wiring, or
connect the power plug to an easily accessible socket-outlet near the unit. If a fault should occur
during operation of the unit, operate the disconnect device to switch the power supply off, or
disconnect the power plug.
High temperature Caution
The temperature of the cabinet around and above the exhaust vents can become hot during
projector operation. Touching these areas during operation could cause burns to the hands. Do
not touch these areas. Doing so may cause burns. Pay particular attention in preventing young
children from touching these parts. Additionally, do not place any metal objects on these areas.
Due to the heat from the projector, doing so could cause an accident or personal injury.
Ceiling mounting the projector
If you intend to mount your projector on the ceiling, we strongly recommend that you use a
proper fitting projector ceiling mount kit and ensure it is securely and safely installed.
If not, there is a safety risk that the projector may fall from the ceiling due to an improper
attachment through the use of the wrong gauge or length screws.
You can purchase a proper projector ceiling mount kit from the place you purchased your
projector. We recommend that you also purchase a separate Kensington lock compatible
security cable and attach it securely to both the Kensington lock slot on the projector and the
base of the ceiling mount bracket. This will perform the secondary role of restraining the
projector should its attachment to the mounting bracket become loose.
Do not attempt to disassemble this projector. There are dangerous high voltages inside which
may cause death if you should come into contact with live parts. The only user serviceable part is
the lamp. See page 33.
Under no circumstances should you ever undo or remove any other covers. Refer servicing only to
suitably qualified professional service personnel.
Please keep the original packing for possible future shipment. If you need to pack your projector
after use, adjust the projection lens to an appropriate position, put the lens cushion around the
lens, and fit the lens cushion and projector cushion together to prevent damage during
transportation.
Important safety instructions
5
When you think service or repair is required, take the projector only to a suitably qualified
technician.
Moisture condensation
Never operate the projector immediately after moving it from a cold location to a hot location.
When the projector is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture may condense on the
crucial internal parts. To prevent the projector from possible damage, do not use the projector for
at least 2 hours when there is a sudden change in temperature.
Avoid volatile liquids
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide or certain types of cleaner, near the projector. Do
not have rubber or plastic products touching the projector for a long time. They will leave marks
on the finish. If cleaning with a chemically treated cloth, be sure to follow the cleaning product’s
safety instructions.
Disposal
This product contains the following materials which are harmful to human bodies and
environment.
• Lead, which is contained in solder.
• Mercury, which is used in the lamp.
To dispose of the product or used lamps, consult your local environment authorities for
regulations.

1. To open the battery cover, turn the remote
control over to view its back, press on the
finger grip on the cover and slide it up in the
direction of the arrow as illustrated.
2. Remove any existing batteries (if necessary)
and install two AA batteries observing the
battery polarities as indicated in the base of
the battery compartment. Positive (+) goes to positive and negative (-) goes to negative.
3. Refit the cover by aligning it with the base and pushing it back up into position. Stop when it
clicks into place.
• Avoid leaving the remote control and battery in an excessive heat or humid environment like the
kitchen, bathroom, sauna, sunroom or in a closed car.
• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery manufacturer.
• Dispose of the used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions and local environment
regulations for your region.
• Never throw the batteries into a fire. There may be danger of an explosion.
• If the batteries are drained or if you will not be using the remote control for an extended period of time,
remove the batteries to avoid damage to the remote control from possible battery leakage.
Remote control effective range
The remote control must be held at an angle within 30 degrees perpendicular to the projector's
IR remote control sensor(s) to function correctly. The distance between the remote control and
the sensor(s) should not exceed 8 meters (~ 26 feet).
Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the IR sensor(s) on the
projector.
