SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ BEFORE INSTALLING EQUIPMENT

1. Always follow the instructions set forth in

this manual when installing the projector
using this bracket.

Improper or inadequate installation could cause
the projector to fall and injure someone.

2. The installation must be secure enough to

bear the weight of the projector, the
ceiling bracket, and other hardware
indefinitely, and must also be secure
enough to withstand vibration.

Inadequate installation could cause the projector to
fall and injure someone.

3. To ensure safety, all bolts and screws

must be tightened securely.

Loose bolts and screws could cause the projector
to fall and injure someone.

4. Use only the parts provided with the

bracket, and any other parts
(commercially available) that are specified
in this manual.

Using other parts could cause the projector to fall
and injure someone.

5. Do not modify the bracket or the parts

provided with the bracket.

Modifying the bracket or the other parts could
cause the projector to fall and injure someone.

6. Do not use damaged parts.

Using damaged parts could cause the projector to
fall and injure someone. If any parts become
damaged, contact your dealer.

7. Make sure to leave enough open space

around the unit to allow heat generated by
the projector to dissipate.

Failure to provide adequate space around the unit
could cause the projector to overheat internally,
causing a fire.

8. Before replacing the lamp cartridge,

always remove the projector (with the
mounting adapter attached) from the
ceiling bracket.

Attempting to replace the lamp cartridge while the
projector is attached to the ceiling bracket could
cause the projector or the ceiling bracket to fall
and injure someone.

9. Never hang from the projector or the
ceiling bracket.

Hanging from the projector or the ceiling bracket
could cause the projector or the ceiling bracket to
fall and injure someone.

10. Do not install the projector in a location
near an air conditioning vent or in a
location subject to vibration.

Such conditions could have an adverse effect on
the projector and could even cause a fire or
electric shock.

11. Do not install the projector in a location
subject to high levels of dust or humidity.

Dust accumulating inside the projector could cause
a short circuit that in turn could cause a fire or
electric shock.

12. Do not install the projector in a location
that is exposed to direct sunlight or in a
location that is subject to extreme
fluctuations in temperature (such as near
an air conditioner).

Such conditions can cause the projector housing
to warp or to become discoloured.

13. Do not wipe the exterior of the ceiling
mount with benzene, paint thinner or
cleaning compounds.

Doing so could damage the finish.

14. Special techniques and experience are
essential when installing the projector
using this bracket. Request that your
dealer arrange to have the equipment
installed. The customer should never
attempt to suspend the projector from the
ceiling.

Improper installation could cause the ceiling
bracket or the projector to fall and injure someone.

15. Once the projector is installed, safety
checks should be conducted on a regular
basis.

If the projector is used over an extended period of
time, screws can become loose and the installation
can become weaker due to the passage of time,
vibration, etc.

This product is exclusively designed for
the Marantz VP8600 DLP projector.
