							CAUTION: 
TO ENSURE PERSONAL SAFETY, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING 
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS REGARDING THE USE OF THIS UNIT. 
1. Read Instructions 
All the safety and operating instructions should be read before MantaRay is operated.
2. Retain Instructions
The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
3. Observe Warnings
All warnings on the unit and in the Set Up & Use Instructions should be observed and 
adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions
The Set Up & Use Instructions should be followed at all times. 
5. Operating Surface 
Always set up MantaRay on a stable and secure surface. If the surface is unstable, the 
unit may fall and be damaged.
6. Power Sources 
MantaRay should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the 
marking label and as defined in the User Guide (240V, 50/60 Hz). If you are not sure of 
the type of power supply to the place of use , consult your local power company. 
When the unit is not in use for a long period of time, disconnect the power cord from 
the AC outlet.
7. Power Cord & Connector Lead Protection
Avoid damaging the AC plug, power cord and any connector leads to other electrical 
devices. Power-supply cords and connector leads should be positioned so that they are 
not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them. Take specific 
care with the power cord and connector leads at attachment points. 
8. Object & Liquid Entry
Never push objects or allow liquids of any kind to enter vents as they may touch 
dangerous voltage points or cause a short circuit that may result in fire or electric 
shock. Keep all liquids clear of MantaRay.

							9. Water & Moisture
Do not use MantaRay near water or other liquids. Do not operate this unit in a moist 
environment.
10. Heat
It is recommended that MantaRay not be operated at temperatures over 35˚C or 
humidity over 85%. The unit should be situated away from any source of heat. Always 
position the unit in a well ventilated environment.
11. Ventilation
Keep MantaRay vents clear and uncovered to prevent overheating. For minimal 
servicing and to maintain high image quality, we recommend that this unit be used in an 
area free from high humidity, dust, and cigarette smoke.  When the unit is subjected to 
these environments, the filter will require more regular replacement.  
12. Lamp Replacement
If the lamp blows, it will remain hot for a short period before it cools down.  We 
recommend that the user waits at least 10 minutes prior to touching the lamp for 
replacement. 
13. Lens Cap
Always remove the lens cap prior to use. When MantaRay is not in use, re-fit the 
lens cap.
14. Replacement Parts 
Only use original manufacturer’s replacement parts, as the use of non-original parts 
may damage MantaRay and will void the warranty. 
15. High Brightness Light source 
Do not shine projector light directly into the eyes – be especially careful that children 
do not stare directly into the beam of light.
16. Accidental Damage Requiring Service 
Please refer to the Troubleshooting checklist accompanying this User Guide for all 
information regarding damage to the unit.

MantaRay service agent. In the event of a fault, do not attempt to service the 
MantaRay or disassemble this unit, as opening or removing covers may expose you
