Précautions de sécurité
AVERTISSEMENTS
Si l'on remarque une émission de fumée, d'odeurs
suspectes ou de bruits provenant du projecteur,
débrancher la fiche du cordon d'alimentation de la
prise de courant.
Ne pas continuer d'utiliser le projecteur dans ces cas-
là, autrement cela peut entraîner un incendie ou des
chocs électriques.
Après s'être assuré que de la fumée ne se dégage
plus, s'adresser à un center technique agréé et demander que les réparations nécessaires soient faites.
Le fait de réparer le projecteur soi-même est très
dangereux, et ne doit jamais être fait.
Demander à un technicien qualifié d'installer le projecteur par exemple s'il est installé au plafond.
Si l'installation n'est pas faite correctement, cela peut
entraîner des blessures ou des chocs électriques.
Ne pas utiliser un support de montage au plafond qui
n'est pas agréé.
Ne pas manipuler le cordon d'alimentation avec les
mains mouillées.
Cela peut entraîner des chocs électriques.
Si de l'eau ou des objets étrangers pénètrent dans le
projecteur, si le projecteur tombe, ou si le boîtier est
endommagé, débrancher immédiatement la fiche du
cordon d'alimentation de la prise de courant.
Si l'on continue d'utiliser le projecteur dans ces condi-
tions, cela peut entraîner un incendie ou des chocs
électriques.
S'adresser à un center technique agréé pour que les
réparations nécessaires puissent être faites.
Ne pas placer le projecteur sur des surfaces instables.
Si le projecteur est placé sur une surface qui est
inclinée ou instable, il risque de tomber ou de se renverser et cela peut causer des blessures ou des dommages.
Ne pas utiliser le projecteur dans une position
surélevée ni penchée horizontalement, car cela pourrait provoquer des dysfonctionnements.
Ne jamais entreprendre toute modification quelconque ou démontage du projecteur.
Des hautes tensions qui peuvent causer de graves
blessures sont présentes à l'intérieur du projecteur.
Pour toute inspection, réglage ou réparation,
s'adresser à un center technique agréé.
Faire attention à ne pas endommager le cordon
d'alimentation.
Ne pas endommager le cordon d'alimentation, ne pas
le modifier, ne pas le placer sous des objets lourds,
ne pas le chauffer, ne pas le placer près d'objets
chauffants, ne pas le tordre, ne pas le plier ou le tirer
excessivement et ne pas le rouler en boule.
Si le cordon d'alimentation est endommagé, cela
peut entraîner un incendie et des chocs électriques.
Si le cordon d'alimentation est endommagé, le faire
réparer par un center technique agréé.
Nettoyer la fiche du cordon d'alimentation régulièrement afin d'éviter toute accumulation de poussière.
Si de la poussière s'accumule sur la fiche du cordon
d'alimentation, l'humidité peut endommager l'isolant
et entraîner un incendie. Débrancher la fiche du cordon d'alimentation de la prise de courant et l'essuyer
avec un tissu sec.
Si le projecteur n'est pas utilisé pendant une période
prolongée, débrancher la fiche du cordon d'alimentation de la prise de courant.
