2 SAFETY

This device complies with safety regulations for Information Technology Equipment intended to operate in “normal” environments (offices and homes). Before using the device for the first time, please read the safety instructions thoroughly.

2.1 SAFETY

This user guide contains important information about safety precautions and the set-up and use of the projector. Please read the manual carefully before you operate the projector.
This device complies with relevant safety regulations for data processing equipment for use in an office environment. Before using the projector for the first time, please read the safety instructions thoroughly.

2.2 WARNING

Use only the cables and cords supplied with the projector or original replacement cables. Us­ing other cables or cords may lead to malfunction and permanent damage of the unit.
Always use 3-prong / grounded power cord to ensure proper grounding of the unit. Never use 2-prong power cords, as this is dangerous and could lead to electrical shock.
Never open the unit. The projector contains no user serviceable parts. Refer all repairs to qualified personnel only. Make sure that no objects enter into the vents and openings of the set.
Do not spill any liquids on the projector or into the vents or openings of the unit.
Always remove lens cap before switching on the projector. If the lens cap is not removed, it may melt due to the high energy light emitted through the lens. Melting the lens cap may permanently damage the surface of the projection lens.
Do not look into the projection lens when the projector is switched on. The strong light may permanently damage sight. Do not look into the laser beam when activated on the remote control. Laser light may permanently damage sight.
Do not point laser beam at people or animals.
Only place the projector on a stable surface, or mount it securely using an approved ceiling­mount.
Do not drop the projector.
Always operate the projector according to the rotation guidelines found on the web. Operat­ing the unit in other positions may reduce lamp life significantly, and may lead to overheating, resulting in malfunctioning.
Always allow ample airflow through the projector. Never block any of the air vents. Never cover the unit in any way while running. Allow for sufficient distance to walls and ceilings to avoid overheating.
Minimum safety distance to any side of the unit is 50 cm / 20” in any direction.
CAUTION! Hot air is exhausted from the rear vent. Do not place objects that are sensitive to heat nearer than 50cm / 20” to the exhaust vent.
The projector is designed for indoor use only. Never operate the unit outdoors.
Do not operate the projector outside its temperature and humidity specifications, as this may result in overheating and malfunctioning.

CAUTION! Connecting sources to a powered projector may result in product failure. It is recommended that the power cable connector (projector-end) or the mains power socket are accessible whilst the product is in use to enable mains power to be disconnected or switched off when connecting source devices. This should be considered during product installation.
Only connect the projector to signal sources and voltages as described in the technical specification. Connecting to unspecified signal sources or voltages may lead to malfunction and permanent damage of the unit.
Allow lamp to cool down before changing. One lamp may be changed while the other lamp is operating (hot-swap).

2.2.1 INFORMATION AND WARNING ABOUT POTENTIAL HEALTH ISSUES RELATED TO MERCURY VAPOR (This section only applies to projectors with UHP lamps)

This projector uses a very powerful UHP™ lamp for illumination to produce an extremely bright image.
This technology is similar to other high-pressure discharge lamps that are extensively used in cars, street lights and other lighting appliances today. These lamps, like fluorescent lighting, contain small amounts of mercury. The amount of mercury present in a lamp is far below the limits of danger set by the authorities. It is very important that lamps containing mercury are treated properly to minimize potential health hazards.
The UHP™ lamp, like any other high brightness projector lamp, is under high-pressure when operating. While the lamp and the projector are carefully designed to minimize the prob­ability of lamp rupture, the lamp may break while operating and small amounts of mercury vapor may be emitted from the projector. The probability of rupture increases when the lamp reaches its nominal life. It is therefore highly recommended that the lamp is replaced when the rated lifetime is reached.
As a general precaution, secure good ventilation in the room when operating the projector. If lamp rupture occurs, evacuate the room and secure good ventilation. Children and pregnant women in particular should leave the room.
When replacing a worn lamp, dispose of the used lamp carefully by proper recycling.
Mercury is a naturally occurring, stable metallic element that may pose a safety risk to people under certain conditions. According to the Public Health Statement for Mercury published by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (“ATSDR”, part of the United States Public Health Service), the brain, central nervous system and kidneys are sensitive to the effects of mercury, and permanent damage can occur at sufficiently high levels of exposure. Acute exposure to high concentrations of mercury vapor can cause conditions such as lung and airway irritation, tightness in the chest, a burning sensation in the lungs, coughing, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Children and fetuses are particularly sensitive to the harmful effects of metallic mercury to the nervous system.
Seek medical attention if any of the above symptoms are experienced or if other unusual conditions are experienced following lamp rupture.

3.2 Indicators

System status indicators are located right of the keypad on the back of the projector. Figure 3-4 shows the three status indicators – one for each lamp and one for the system status.
Figure 3-4. The lamp indicators
For the lamp indicators the following apply:
- PERMANENT GREEN LIGHT: The lamp is on and operating normally.
- PERMANENT YELLOW LIGHT: The lamp is off. The lamp may be disabled in the menu or the system is in standby.
- PERMANENT RED LIGHT: Lamp life has expired, lamp is not igniting or lamp door is open. If the lamp life has expired, please change projection lamp immediately. Failing to change lamp may lead to lamp explosion. Please replace with original projectiondesign equipment.
- FLASHING YELLOW LIGHT: The lamp is cooling down. The total cooling down time is approx. 45 seconds.
- NO LIGHT: No lamp inserted.
NOTE! The replacement lamps must be purchased from an authorized projectiondesign dealer for the warranty of the product to be valid.

3.2.1 The status indicator

- PERMANENT GREEN LIGHT: The projector is turned on and in normal operation.
- PERMANENT YELLOW LIGHT: The projector is in standby mode. If the projector was powered off by the power saving feature (DPMS), it will automatically power on when you connect a valid source.
- FLASHING YELLOW LIGHT: Please wait. The yellow light will flash a period after power cord is connected (20-30 sec.), and a period after going to standby mode while lamp is cooling down (approximately 45 sec.). The projector may not be turned on again until the light has turned to permanent yellow.
- FLASHING RED LIGHT: Projector is overheated. Turn off immediately! Check if air inlets are covered or if ambient temperature is outside specifications. The projector cannot be restarted until the power cord is disconnected and reconnected again. If the projector continues to flash red, you will need to return the unit for service.

The projector has an illuminated keypad on the back of the unit. Figure 3-5 shows the keypad.
Figure 3-5. Projector keypad
The keypad is used to:
- navigate the menu system
- scroll the information in the LCD panel
- directly select input sources
- enter pin code (if enabled)
- power on/off
- adjust basic image functions
The keypad is illuminated for operation in dark environments. Available functions are illuminated in yellow while selected (active) functions are illuminated in green. Functions that are not available are not illuminated.

3.2.3 Remote control

The remote control allows flexible access to the projector settings, either through direct keys, or through the menu system. The remote control is backlit for use in dark environments. It also has a data-jack that allows for wired connection to the projector. When the wire is connected, the IR (infra-red) beam and internal batteries are switched off.
Note! The direct sources buttons for VGA1, VGA2, X-Port 2 and YPbPr are not available for all versions of the product. If your product does not have these inputs implemented the OSD will display “not available” when pressing these buttons.
