1 General safety information
Do not make any changes or settings that are 
not described in this user manual. Physical 
injury or damage to the device or loss of data 
can result from improper handling. Take note of 
all warning and safety notes indicated.
Setting up the device
The device is exclusively for indoor use. The 
device should be placed securely on a stable, 
flat surface. Position all cables in such a way 
that no one will stumble on them, thus avoiding 
possible injuries to persons or damage to the 
device itself.
Do not plug in the device in moist rooms. Never 
touch the cable of the main connection with 
wet hands. The device must have sufficient 
ventilation and may not be covered. Do not put 
your device in closed cabinets or boxes.
Do not place the machine on soft surfaces such 
as tablecloths or carpets and do not cover the 
ventilation slits as otherwise the device could 
overheat or catch fire.
Protect the device against direct sunlight, heat, 
large temperature fluctuations and moisture. 
Do not place the device in the vicinity of heaters 
or air conditioners. Observe the information on 
temperature and humidity in the technical data.
When the device is running for a long period of 
time, a warning symbol will appear on the pro-jection to warn before overheating. The device 
switches automatically to stand-by mode when 
it gets too hot. After the device has cooled 
down, you can continue playback by pressing 
any key.
Do not allow liquids to enter into the device. 
Switch off the device and disconnect it from the 
mains supply if liquids or foreign substances 
end up inside the device. Have the unit 
inspected by a technical service department.
Always handle the unit with care. Avoid touch-ing the lens. Never place heavy or sharp objects 
on the projector or the power cable.
If the projector gets too hot or emits smoke, 
shut it down immediately and unplug the 
power cable. Have your device examined by 
trained professionals at a technical service 
location. To prevent the spread of fire, open 
flames should be kept away from the device.
Under the following conditions, a layer of mois-ture can appear inside the device which can 
lead to malfunctions:
• if the device is moved from a cold to a warm 
area;
• after a cold room is heated;
• when this device is placed in a damp room.
Proceed as follows to avoid any moisture build-
up:
1Seal this device in a plastic bag before mov-ing it to another room, in order for it to adapt 
to room conditions.
2Wait one to two hours before you take the 
device out of the plastic bag.
The device should not be used in a very dusty 
environment. Dust particles and other foreign 
objects may damage the unit.
Do not expose the device to extreme vibrations. 
It may damage the internal components.
Do not allow children to handle the device 
without supervision. The packing materials 
should be kept out of the hands of children.
Power supply
Use only the enclosed power adapter (see 
chapter Appendix / Technical Data). Check 
whether the mains voltage of the power supply 
matches the mains voltage available at the 
setup location. This equipment complies with 
the voltage type specified on the unit.
The capacity of the battery diminishes with 
time. If the device functions only with the power 
supply, the battery is defective. Contact an 
authorised service centre to replace the battery.
Do not try to replace the battery yourself. Incor-rect handling of the battery or using the wrong 
type of battery can cause damage to the device 
or cause injury.

easily flammable cleansers (sprays, abrasives, 
polishes, alcohol). Do not allow any moisture to 
reach the interior of the device.
High Power LED!
This device is equipped with an high 
power LED (Light Emitting Diode), 
which emits very bright light. Do not 
look directly into the projector lens.

the device. Your device must be repaired by an 
authorised service centre.
Do not remove the type label from your device;
