   User’s Manual    4-3. 
◊ Operate the projector at the specified voltage only. Do not overload power outlets 
and extension cords as this can result in fire or shock hazards. 
◊ The projector is equipped with a three-wire plug having a third grounding pin. 
This is a safety feature – if you are unable to insert the plug into an outlet contact 
an electrician to have the outlet replaced. Do not defeat the safety purpose of this 
grounding-type plug.  
 
Slots and vents in the projector provide ventilation. Never block or cover these 
openings. This ensures reliable operation of the projector and prevents overheating.  
◊ Do not place the projector over a radiator or heat register. The projector should 
not be placed in an enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided. 
◊ Do not insert objects into the ventilation openings of the projector. They may 
touch dangerous voltages or short-out components resulting in a fire or shock 
hazard. Do not spill liquids of any kind into the projector. Should an accidental 
spill occur, immediately unplug the projector and have it serviced by a qualified 
service technician. 
If any of the following conditions exist, immediately unplug the projector from the 
power outlet and ask a qualified service technician to look at it. 
◊ The power cord has been damaged. 
◊ The internal cooling fans do not turn on within two minutes when the projector is 
first powered up.  
◊ Liquid has been spilled into the projector. 
◊ The projector has been exposed to excessive moisture. 
◊ The projector is not operating normally or its performance has significantly 
deteriorated in a short period of time. 
◊ The projector has been dropped or the shipping case (if applicable) has been badly 
damaged. 
 WARNING  
Do not attempt to service the projector yourself. All 
servicing must be performed by CHRISTIE accredited 
service technicians. 
Use replacement parts that are manufacturer-approved 
only. Use of any other part other than the ones specified 
by the manufacturer can result in fire, electric shock or 
risk of personal injury and irreparable equipment 
damage.

Part Description Frequency Action 
Lens  As required 
CLEAN: Clean if absolutely necessary. A 
small amount of dust on the lens has very 
little affect on picture quality. 
To clean: Apply a solvent such as acetone, 
alcohol or vinegar sparingly to clean, lint-
free lens tissue. Wipe across the surface of 
the lens. Do not scrub or rub tissue in 
circular motion, this will scratch the lens. 
Do not reuse tissue. Do not use cleaning 
tools treated with Ether. If particles still 
appear on the lens, try using compressed air 
to remove. 
 
As required CLEAN: Clean if absolutely necessary. 
Never touch the glass surface of the lamp. 
Fingerprints left on the glass will seriously 
degrade lamp performance or cause 
“hotspots” which can lead to an 
accumulation of intense heat in the touched 
area and cause the lamp to shatter. 
To clean: Wait until lamp is cool. Moisten 
a clean, lint-free cotton cloth with isopropyl 
alcohol and gently rub the surface of the 
glass in a circular motion until clean.

The IR Remote Keypad uses two AA size, 1.5V batteries (preferably alkaline). To 
install new batteries:  
1) Open the battery 
compartment at the backside 
of the keypad by placing your 
thumb in the oval depression 
and sliding the cover out about 
½ inch. See Figure 4.1. 
Remove the old batteries and 
properly discard. Wait a 
minute or two.
