howev er, no responsibility is assumed for inaccuracies. The information contained in this
manual is subject to change without prior notice.
This symbol is intended to alert
the user that parts inside this

shock to persons.
This symbol is intended to alert
the user that important operating
instructions are in the
accompanying literature.
CAUTION
Electrostatic
Sensitive
DevicesThis symbol is intended to alert the user that electrostatic sensitive devices
are employed in this product. When working inside the equipment, handling
or transporting printed circuit boards protect against “Electrostatic
Discharge”.
WARNING!
Bright Light
SourceThis unit has an extremely bright light source. Do not look directly into the lens or the beam
of light. Be especially careful that children do not stare directly into the light.
WARNING!
Electrical ShockTo reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not expose this product to rain or moisture.
WARNING!
UV RadiationThe lamp contained in this product is an intense source of light and heat. One component of
the light emitted from this lamp is ultraviolet light. DO NOT LOOK INTO THE LENS
ASSEMBLY! 
Potential eye and skin hazards are present when the lamp is energized due to
ultraviolet radiation. Av oid unnecessary exposure.
Some medications are known to make individuals extra sensitive to UV radiation.

any switches.
WARNING! AC
GroundFor your safety and proper operation of the projector, the projector MUST BE 
connected to a
properly wired and grounded outlet. An improperly grounded system can place hazardous
voltages on accessible metal parts of the projector and voids the warranty due to potential
damage to the projector.

Power Source
InterruptionsThe 5000 Series of projector operation is based on a computer system, not unlike your
desktop computer. Since computer systems are very sensitive to variations in v oltage
supplied by the AC power source. Ov er-v oltage, under-voltage and transients (or spikes) can
erase data from memory or even cause components to fail. To protect against these types of
problems, power cables should be properly grounded and one or both of the following
methods should be employed;
Place the system on a dedicated power circuit. Do not allow the system to share a circuit with
one of the following:

 Copier machines 
 Air Conditioners 
 Power Tools 
 Teletype machines 
 Any other
motorized equipment
Power
Protection
DevicesA variety of devices are av ailable that protect against power problems, such as power
surges, transients, and power failures. The following equipment can provide some lev el of
protection;

 Surge Protectors 
 Line Conditioners 
 Un-interruptible Power Supply (UPS).  A 1.5KWA
UPS minimum recommended.
Warning! Cable
ConnectionsTo avoid damage to the projector, power “off” the projector and disconnect the main AC line
cord before you connect or disconnect the IR receiver(s) or any other peripheral.
Ceiling Mount
PrecautionsIn a ceiling mount application, the strength and rigidity of the ceiling are very important. The
location should be carefully checked beforehand to determine that the installation will safely
support the weight of the projector.
NOTE: AmPro Corporation is not responsible for injury or damage caused by an improperly
installed projector.
Lamp Module
Warnings  Be sure the lamp and its holder are cooled before changing lamp or injury to personnel
will occur.
  The lamp is under great pressure at all times and may explode. To reduce the risk of
personal injury and/or property damage, when servicing the projector lamp wear safety
glasses and allow the lamp to cool completely.
  Be careful not to touch the exposed surface of the lamp itself. This could impair lamp
performance and shorten lamp life.
Lamp Module
DisposalThe lamp inside the lamp module is under pressure. Do not incinerate. Eye protection should
be worn when working with the lamp to av oid injury from metal particles.
Lens Cleaning
To avoid the risk of scratching the lens, only clean the lens if absolutely required. A small
amount of dust on the lens will have very little effect on the picture quality. If the lens must be
cleaned, use a dry, soft optical quality cloth. Rub very gently in a circular motion.
General Notes
  All safety and operating instructions should be read before the projector is operated.
  The exterior of the projector may be kept in good condition by wiping it with a clean, dry,
sof t cloth.
  For general safety, the projector should be cleaned internally only by an authorized
AmPro service technician.
  Do not place magnetic equipment on or near the projector.
  Secure serv ice any time the projector is damaged or fails. An obvious change in
performance may also indicate a need for service.

General Notes
  Do not attempt to service the projector yourself by removing the covers.

  Doing so may expose you to dangerous v oltages or other hazards. Refer servicing to
qualified service personnel.

  Remove the main power plug from the wall socket when the projector has failed.

  Do not use this projector immediately after moving from a low temperature to high
temperature, as this causes condensation, which may result in fire, electrical shock, or
other hazards.

  When this projector is used on a cart, care should be taken to avoid quick stops,
excessiv e force, and unev en surfaces, which may cause the projector and cart to
ov erturn, damaging the equipment or causing possible injury to operator.
PC/ALICE
ConfigurationCAUTION: The ALICE projector operates with an internal PC. DO NOT make any changes
to the operating system and the ALICE program without prior authorization from the factory.
Failure to comply may result in warranty cancellation. Should AmPro be required to restore
the projector back to its original configuration, AmPro WILL charge for labor and/or travel
(shipping to-from the factory) and/or materials required to do so.
Windows® 95
Please do not lose the certificate of Authenticity number that is attached to the front of
the Windows® 95 manual (Product 00000-OEM-000000-00000), because another
number cannot be issued.
We CANNOT provide a replacement! This number is keyed to the Windows® 95 CD that you
received with your ALICE projector and if lost would make purchasing a new copy a
necessity.
Copy Guarded
Video MaterialDue to the nature of the encoded process used in copy guarded video material, which is
beyond the control of AmPro Corporation. It is the user’s responsibility to correct for any
video disturbances or artifacts caused by the copy guarded video material which may affect
the projector’s operation.
