• Important information
About this User Guide
This User Guide describes how to set up and operate the following projectors:
CRYSTAL4
Except where otherwise indicated, the information in this guide applies to all the
projectors listed above, that will be referred to as “CRYSTAL4”.
Information contained in this User Guide may be updated from time to time due to
product improvements and customer feedback. Visit www.sim2.com to find the latest
version of this document.
This document contains proprietary information protected by copyright. All rights are
reserved.
All trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
Safety
To reduce the risk of electrocution, disconnect the power cord on the
rear panel before removing the glass cover or side panels of the projector. For technical service refer to trained personnel authorized by the
manufacturer.
Read this manual
Read all chapters of this manual carefully before switching on the projector. This manual provides basic instructions for operating the CRYSTAL4 projector. Installation, preliminary adjustments and procedures that necessitate the removal of the glass cover
and the contact with electrical components, must be performed by authorized trained
technicians. To ensure safe operation and long term reliability use only the power cord
supplied by the manufacturer. Observe all warnings and precautions. Keep the manual
for future consultation.
Do not touch internal parts of the projector
Inside the housing there are electrical parts carrying dangerously high voltages and
parts operating at high temperature. Never open the housing. Entrust all servicing and
repair work to a SIM2 Authorized Service Center. Opening the housing voids the warranty.
Disconnect the projector from the power supply
The device that disconnects the projector from the electrical outlet, is the power plug.
Ensure that the power cord plugs and the electrical outlets are easily accessible during
installation operations. Pull the plug, not the cord, to disconnect the projector from
the electrical outlet. Use only the specified power supply. Connect the projector to the
electrical supply with rated voltage of between 100-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz and equipped
CRYSTAL4

with a protective earth connection. If you are not sure of your domestic electrical out let, contact an electrician. Take care to avoid overloading the power socket and any
extension leads.
Switching the projector off
Pay attention to the switch off procedure for the projector. The projector must always
be brought back to the standby state to allow the projector to carry out the cooling
procedure. Should this not happen, for example due to a power cut, the projector may
enter a state of protection that leads to switch-on being blocked. This block will last
until the internal components of the projector have completely cooled down. Allow 90
seconds for the projector to cool down.
Be careful with cables
Make sure cables are routed so that people are not impeded or become a trip hazard.
Keep all cables away from children. Install the projector as close to the wall socket as
possible. Avoid stepping on power cords, make certain they do not become tangled,
and never jerk or tug them; do not expose them to sources of heat, and make sure
they do not become knotted or crimped. If the power cords become damaged, stop
using the projector and request the assistance of an authorized technician.
Disconnect the projector from the electrical outlet during storms and when not in
use
To prevent damage from lightning strikes in the vicinity, disconnect the projector during storms or when the projector is going to be left unused for a long time.
Avoid contact with liquids and exposure to damp
Do not use the projector near water (sinks, tubs and so on); do not place objects containing liquids on or near the projector and do not expose it to rain, humidity, drops of
water or sprays; do not use water or liquid detergent to clean it.
Place the projector on a stable surface
Place the projector on a stable surface or use a suitable ceiling mounting bracket.
Never place the projector on its side or rear, on the lens or top panel or rear.
Do not allow the projector to overheat
To prevent overheating, allow a free space of at least 0.20 m (5 in) on the rear, on the
top, and on the right and left sides of the projector. Do not obstruct the ventilation
slots. Do not place the projector near heat sources such as heaters, radiators or other
devices (including amplifiers) that generate heat. Do not place the projector in an area
where there is insufficient space (shelving units, bookshelves and so on) and in
general avoid placing it in poorly ventilated areas as this may prevent sufficient
cooling and significantly reduce lamp life.
Take special care regarding movement of the lens
Do not place objects in the slots on the side of the lens and also ensure that vertical
lens movements are not impeded by external objects.
Do not hold the projector by its lens.

CRYSTAL4 handling and transportation
Do not insert objects through the openings in the projector
Make sure that no objects are inserted inside the projector.
If this should occur, disconnect the projector from the power supply immediately and
call an authorized technician.
Power saving
We advise disconnecting the projector from the power supply when not in use. In this
way you will achieve considerable power savings while at the same time protecting internal electrical parts from wear.
Do not use under the following conditions:
• In extremely hot, cold or humid environments
◦ Ensure that the ambient room temperature is within 5°C ~ 35°C
◦ Relative humidity is 10% ~ 85%
• In areas susceptible to excessive dust and dirt.
• Near any equipment generating a strong magnetic field.
• In direct sunlight.
Environment
This product contains materials derived from natural resources during its manufacture. It may contain materials that constitute a health and environmental hazard. To
prevent harmful materials from being released into the environment and to promote
the use of natural materials, SIM2 provides the following information regarding the
disposal and recycling of the product.
Waste electrical and electronic materials (WEEE) should never be disposed of in normal urban waste disposal facilities.
The label on the product, shown here, indicating a canceled garbage can,
is intended to remind you that the product requires special handling at
the end of its service life. Materials such as glass, plastic and some chemical compounds are recoverable and can be recycled for reuse.

Notice
Observe the following instructions:
When you no longer wish to use your electrical and electronic equipment,
take it to your local waste disposal facility for recycling.
You may return your old equipment to your SIM2 Authorized Dealer free of
charge when you buy a new product that is equivalent or has the same functions as the old one. Contact SIM2 to find your local dealer.
If you need more information regarding recycling, reuse and product ex-
changes, contact SIM2 customer service.
Lastly we suggest further measures to safeguard the environment, such as recycling of
internal and external packaging (including that used for shipping) in which the product
was delivered. With your help, we can reduce the amount of environmental resources
required to make electric and electronic equipment, reduce the use of waste tips for
used equipment and, in general, improve our quality of life by making sure that hazardous materials are correctly scrapped. Incorrect treatment of the product at the end
of its service life and failure to follow the above disposal instructions are punishable
under local legislation.
The projector has been subjected to exhaustive operating tests by SIM2 to guarantee
the highest quality. The projector light source life should thus initially be around 30-60
hours. In addition to the customary checks, the Quality Control department also runs
additional statistical tests before shipment. In such cases, the packaging may show
signs of having been opened, and the hours of light source operation may prove to be
higher than those normally shown when only standard tests are performed.
As the optical system of the CRYSTAL4 is extremely compact and has the purpose of
developing very high brightness and contrast, it is possible that a small quantity of
light is visible outside of the projection area and will vary depending the zoom and
shift setup. This characteristic of the optical system is to be deemed as normal. In
order to reduce this effect SIM2 recommends that the area surrounding the
projection screen is as dark as possible.
As with any bright light source, do not stare into the beam, RG2 IEC 62471-5:2015.

Custom Remotes
You can use your own IR remote control to control your CRYSTAL4 projector.
If you are using a remote control with learning capabilities, use the projector re-
mote control to teach the commands to your remote.
If you are using a programmable remote control, the setup software probably al -
lows importing Hex codes. See “SIM2 CRYSTAL4 IR Control” document, for a list of
all the projector codes.
Operation
The CRYSTAL4 projector has 3 IR receivers: one (A) on the front of the unit, one (B) on
the top and one (C) on inputs panel. The operative range of the remote control is approximately 10 m (33 ft.) and ±15°. Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote control and the IR receiver you are pointing to. You
can point the remote control towards the screen, as the IR beam is reflected by the
screen towards front IR receiver of the projector. In this case the effective range of the
remote control may be smaller than declared.
