  • The specifications and functionality of the product may change without prior notice.
• SAFETY & WARNINGS
  • 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.
  • SAFETY
    • 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.
  • 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 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 on people.
    • Only place the projector on a stable surface, or mount it securely using an approved ceiling-mount.
    • Do not drop the projector.
    • Always operate the projector horizontally, within the range of the adjustable rear feet. 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 runnin...
    • CAUTION! Hot air is exhausted from the side vent. Do not place objects that are sensitive to heat nearer than 50 cm/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.
    • 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 the unit to cool down for 60 minutes before lamp change.
  • INFORMATION AND WARNING ABOUT POTENTIAL HEALTH ISSUES RELATED TO MERCURY VAPOR
    • This projector is using an extremely bright UHP™ lamp for illumination to attain the desired high brightness image.

    • 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 proj...
    • 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. Accord...
