General precautions
  Do not open the cabinet. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
  Use only the power cable provided.
  Ensure that the power outlet includes a Ground connection, as this 
equipment MUST be earthed.
  Take care to prevent small objects such as paper or wire from falling 
into the projector. If this does happen, switch off immediately, and have 
the objects removed by authorised service personnel.
  Do not expose the projector to rain or moisture, and do not place any 
liquids on top of the projector.
  Unplug before cleaning, and use a damp, not wet, cloth.
  Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.
  Do not touch the power plug during a thunder storm.
  Handle the power cable carefully and avoid sharp bends. Do not use a 
damaged power cable.
 There are no user-serviceable parts inside the lamp module. The whole 
module should be replaced and returned to Digital Projection for re-
furbishment.
  Take care when removing the lamp module, as it is heavy (>10kg).
  Take care not to touch the glass surface of the lamp module. If you do 
accidentally touch the glass, it should be cleaned before use.
  Do not use the lamp for more than 750 hours, as this may cause 
serious lamp failure, damage the lamp module and cause extra cost on 
replacement. 
  Xenon lamps produce high intensity light. Do not look directly at the 
light coming from the lamp housing, or the lens, or allow items such 
as magnifying lenses to be placed in the light path. This could result in 
serious eye damage.
  Do not touch the ventilation outlets, as they will become hot in use.
  Do not cover the ventilation outlets or inlets.
  Do not cover the lens whilst the projector is switched on. This could 
cause a fi re
  Always allow the projector to cool for 5 minutes before switching off 
the power, moving the projector or changing the lamp.
  Never use strong detergents or solvents such as alcohol or thinners to 
clean the projector and lens.

Installation precautions
 Connect the LAN cable only to a computer LAN connection. Other 
similar connectors may have a dangerously high voltage source.
  The projector must be installed only by suitably qualifi ed personnel, in 
accordance with local building codes.
  The projector should be installed as close to the power outlet as 
possible.
  The power connection should be easily accessible, so that it can be 
disconnected in an emergency.
  Ensure that there is at least 30cm (12in) of space between the 
ventilation outlets and any wall, and 10cm (4in) on all other sides.
  Do not install the projector close to anything that might be affected by 
its operational heat, for instance, polystyrene ceiling tiles, curtains etc.
  The projector weighs over 100kg (200lbs). Use safe handling 
techniques when lifting the projector.
  When stacking projectors, the stack MUST be vertical, to ensure that 
the stresses are distributed to all for frame couplings. 
  Before installation, make sure that the surface, ceiling or rigging that is 
to support the projector is capable of supporting the combined weight 
of the projector and lens (see specifi cation for exact weights).
  Separate backup safety chains or wires should always be used for each 
projector.
  Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector chassis. Only 
the rigging frame is capable of withstanding the weight of another 
projector.
  Do not stack more than four projectors.
  Do not drop or jarr the projector.
  Place the projector in a dry area away from sources of dust, moisture, 
steam, smoke, sunlight or heat.
  Do not tilt the projector more than  ±12° from side to side when in use, 
as this may cause serious lamp failure, damage the lamp module and 
cause extra cost on replacement. The projector my be tilted forwards 
and backwards as necessary.
  Each time a new lens is fi tted to the projector, the calibration procedure 
must be carried out. See Lens menu, in Section 4. Using the menus.
  The zoom drive mechanism should always be set to the engaged 
position, even when using the non-zoom lens, as it provides an extra 
level of protection, should the lens release lever fail.
