2 Safety Instructions
This device complies with safety regulations for Information Technology Equipment for use 
in an office environment. Before using the device for the first time, please read the safety 
instructions thoroughly.
2.3 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.
2.4 GENERAL WARNINGS
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 activate\
d 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 ceiling-
mount.
Do not drop the projector.
Always operate the projector according to the rotation guidelines. 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.
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.
Connecting sources to a powered projector may result in product failure. It is recom-
mended that the power cable connector (projector-end) or the mains power socket 
are accessible while 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.

User Manual - Safety Instructions
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.
In order to prevent damage to the projector caused by overvoltages (e.g. lightning), we rec-
ommend connection to a line (mains) circuit which has overvoltage protection.
Allow lamp to cool down before changing. One lamp may be changed while the other lamp  
is operating (hot-swap). USE ONLY ORIGINAL LAMPS.
2.4.1 INFORMATION AND WARNING ABOUT POTENTIAL HEALTH ISSUES RELATED 
TO MERCURY VAPOR (UHP lamps only)
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. 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 prob-
ability 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 expected lifetime. 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 s\
afety 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 a\
re sensitive to the 
effects of mercury, and permanent damage can occur at sufficiently high levels of exposu\
re. 
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.
2.4.2 HEAVY DUTY AND CONTINOUS USE (UHP lamps only)
The projector contains moving parts (such as cooling fans) that have limited\
 life-expec-
tancies. When the projector has been used for 8 000 hours, and when the unit is used in 
mission-critical applications, it is recommended that the projector is given preventive mainte-
nance by a qualified service person. A message will appear on the screen when the projector 
is due for preventive maintenance. This will help ensure long term stable operation.
2.4.3 SERVICE PERSONNEL INFORMATION WARNING (UHP lamps only)
Use UV radiation eyes and skin protection during servicing.
