Machine Noise Information Ordinance 3. GSGV, January 18, 1991: The sound
pressure level at the operator position is equal or less than 44dB (A) according to
ISO7779. (However, this is when the ambient temperature is less than 30°C.)
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This LCD projector has been
engineered and manufactured to meet applicable safety standards. But improper use
can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. In order not to defeat the
safeguards incorporated into this LCD projector, observe the following basic rules
for its installation, use, and servicing.

Please read all of these instructions before you operate your LCD
Unplug the LCD projector from the power point before cleaning.
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the
LCD projector unit. If the unit is very dirty, wet a cloth with neutral detergent,
squeeze it tight, wipe the unit with it, and finish by wiping with a dry cloth. Do
not use a chemical duster or polisher-cleaner because it can adversely affect the
unit and peel the paint coat.
Do not use attachments not recommended by Polaroid, as they may cause
hazards.
Do not use the LCD projector near water; for example, near a bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming
pool. Never spill liquid into the LCD projector.
Do not place the LCD projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The LCD
projector may fall, which may cause serious injury to a child or an adult and/or
serious damage to the unit. Use only with a cart or stand recommended by its
manufacturer as being suitable for use with an LCD projector.
Ceiling, wall, or shelf mounting for installation should use a mounting kit
approved by the manufacturer for use with an LCD projector and should
follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
LCD projector equipment and cart combinations should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the equipment and
cart combination to overturn.
Slots and openings in the cabinet back and bottom are provided for ventilation.
To ensure reliable operation of the LCD projector and to protect it from
overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. These openings
should never be covered with cloth or other materials. The bottom opening
should not be blocked by placing the LCD projector on a bed, sofa, rug, or
other similar surface. The LCD projector should not be placed near or over a
radiator or heating vent. The LCD projector should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.
The LCD projector should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the back of the LCD projector or in the specifications. If you are
not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your LCD
projector dealer or local power company.

General information
10.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not place the LCD
projector where the cord will be walked on.
11.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the LCD projector.
12.
As a safety feature, this LCD projector is equipped with a 3-prong earthed
plug. The 3-prong earthed plug will fit only into a earthing-type power outlet.
If the plug does not fit, use an adapter that is properly earthed or have an
electrician install an earthing-type outlet. Do not attempt to modify this AC
plug.
13.
For added protection for the LCD projector during a lightning storm, or when
it is left unattended or not in use for long periods of time, unplug it from the
power point and disconnect any cable systems. This will prevent damage to the
projector due to lightning and power-line surges.
14.
Do not overload power points and extension cords with too many products,
because this can result in fire or electric shock.
15.
Never push objects of any kind into the LCD projector through cabinet slots,
as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts, which could
result in a fire or electric shock.
16.
Do not attempt to service the LCD projector yourself. Opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
17 .
Unplug the LCD projector equipment from the power point and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a.
When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b.
If liquid has been spilled into the LCD projector.
c.
If the LCD projector has been exposed to rain or water.
d.
If the LCD projector does not operate normally when you follow the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by
the operating instructions; improper adjustment of other controls may
cause damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the LCD projector to normal operation.
e.
If the LCD projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged.
f.
When the LCD projector exhibits a distinct change in performance—
this indicates a need for service.
18.
Upon completion of any service or repairs to the LCD projector ask the service
technician to perform a routine safety check to determine that the LCD
projector is in safe operating condition.

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same
characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may result in
fire, electric shock or other hazards.
20.
The air filter should be cleaned every 100 hours of lamp use. The LCD
projector may become too hot if the filter is not cleaned when required.
21.
If the lens becomes dirty or smudged, clean with a clean, dampened cloth.
Never touch the lens with your fingers.
22.
Do not look directly into the aperture and lens while operating the LCD
projector, as this may result in damage to your eyes.

the LCD projector and the RS-232C output terminal on the computer. Secure
the plugs by tightening the thumb screws.
When connecting to a Macintosh series computer, use the RS-232C 9-pin
adapter (supplied). Or, when connecting to an IBM-PC series computer, use the
RS-232C 25-pin adapter (supplied). Connect one of these RS-232C adapters to
the RS-232C input terminal on your computer. Then, firmly plug the RS-232C
cable into both the RS-232C terminal on the LCD projector and the RS-232C
adapter on the computer. Secure the plugs by tightening the thumb screws.
• When connecting the LCD projector to a computer other than a VGA, SVGA,
