accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from thatto which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.
Impor tant SafeguardsThese safety instructions are to ensure the long life of your
projector and to prevent fire and shock. Please read them
carefully and heed all warnings.
Installation1 . For best results, use your projector in a darkened room.
2 . Place the projector on a flat, level surface in a dry area away from dust and moisture. Do not tilt the projector more than
±12° from side to side, as this will reduce lamp life. The
projector may be tilted forwards or backwards as necessary.
3 . Do not place your projector in direct sunlight, near heaters orheat radiating appliances.
4 . Exposure to direct sunlight, smoke or steam can harm internal components.
5 . Handle your projector carefully. Do not hold the lens hood and the terminal covers. Dropping or jarring can damage
internal components.
6 . Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector.
±12° 360° 
						

							
Digital Projection MERCURY 5000gv	Important Infor mation 
7 . If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling: 
a .	Do not attempt to install the projector yourself. 
b.	The projector must be installed by qualified technicians 
in order to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk 
of bodily injury. 
c.	In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support 
the projector and the installation must be in accordance 
with any local building codes. 
d .	Please consult your dealer for more information. 
To Dealer or Installer: To prevent the projector from falling, install it in a place and 
fasten it in a way with sufficient strength to support the 
combined weight of the projector (25 kg / 55.1 lbs), the lens 
and any mounting hardware, for an extended period of time as 
well as to withstand earthquakes. 
Power Supply 1 .	The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 
100-240 V 50/60 Hz AC. Ensure that your power supply fits 
this requirement before attempting to use your projector. 
2 .	Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive 
bending. A damaged cord can cause electric shock or fire. 
3 .	If the projector is not to be used for an extended period of 
time, disconnect the plug from the power outlet. 
4 .	Do not touch the power plug with wet hand. Doing so can 
cause electrical shock or fire. 
5 .	Do not touch the power plug during a thunder storm. Doing 
so can cause electrical shock or fire. 
Cleaning 1. Unplug the projector before cleaning. 
2. Clean the cabinet periodically with a damp cloth. If heavily 
soiled, use a mild detergent. Never use strong detergents or 
solvents such as alcohol or thinner. 
3 . Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful  not to scratch or mar the lens. 
CAUTION Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet under any 
one of the following circumstances. Doing so can cause 
damage to the projector: 
•	While the message "Please wait a moment." appears. This 
message will be displayed after the projector is turned off. 
•	Immediately after the power cable is plugged into the wall  outlet (the POWER indicator has not changed to a steady 
orange glow). 
•	Immediately after the cooling fan stops working (The cooling 
fan continues to work for 90 seconds after the projector is 
turned off). 
CAUTION •	Do not try to touch the ventilation outlets as they can 
become heated while the projector is turned on. 
•	Do not put the projector on its side when the lamp is turned on.

Doing so may cause damage to the projector.

•	Before shipping this projector, remove the lens and attach the lens hood cap.

The Lens Shift mechanism may encounter damage caused

by improper handling during transportation.

•	Do not eject a PC card or LAN card while its data is being 
accessed. Doing so can damage your PC card or LAN card. 
Lamp Replacement •	To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page 
9-2. 
•	Be sure to replace the lamp when the message "The Lamp 
has reached the end of its usable life. Please replace the 
lamp." appears. If you continue to use the lamp after the 
lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb 
may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the 
lamp case. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may 
cause injury. If this happens, contact your Digital Projection 
dealer for lamp replacement. 
•	Allow a minimum of 90 seconds to elapse after turning off  the projector. Then turn off the main power and disconnect 
the power cable and allow 15 minutes to cool the projector 
before replacing the lamp. 
•	The projector must be operated with two lamps installed 
regardless of whether or not the lamp is active. Failure to do 
so may degrade the performance of the projector such as 
screen flicker or loss of lamp life. If one lamp has reached the 
end of its usable life, replace it with a new one as soon as 
possible. 
Fire and Shock Precautions 1 . Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are  unobstructed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your 
projector. Allow at least 3 inches (10 cm) of space between 
your projector and a wall, except to the rear and the 
ventilation outlet on the right side, where there should be at 
least 12 inches (30cm) of space. 
2 . Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your projector. Do not attempt to retrieve any 
objects that might fall into your projector. Do not insert any 
metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your projector. 
If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it 
immediately and have the object removed by a qualified 
Digital Projection service personnel. 
3 . Do not place any liquids on top of your projector. 
4 . When using a LAN cable: 
For safety, do not connect to the connector for peripheral 
device wiring that might have excessive Voltage. 
CAUTION •	Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious  damage to your eyes could result. 
•	Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light  path of the projector. The light being projected from the lens 
is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can 
redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause 
unpredictable outcome such as fire or injury to the eyes. 
•	Do not cover the lens with the supplied lens hood cap or  equivalent while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to 
melting of the cap and possibly burning your hands due to 
the heat emitted from the light output.
