2 SAFETY
This device complies with safety regulations for Information Technology Equipment intended 
to operate in “normal” environments (offices and homes). Before using the device for the first 
time, please read the safety instructions thoroughly.
2.1 SAFETY
This user guide contains important information about safety precautions and the set-up and 
use of the projector. Please read the manual carefully before you operate the projector.
This device complies with relevant safety regulations for data processing equipment for use 
in an office environment. Before using the projector for the first time, please read the safety 
instructions thoroughly.
2.2 WARNING
Use only the cables and cords supplied with the projector or original replacement cables. Us-
ing other cables or cords may lead to malfunction and permanent damage of the unit. 
Always use 3-prong / grounded power cord to ensure proper grounding of the unit. Never 
use 2-prong power cords, as this is dangerous and could lead to electrical shock.
Never open the unit. The projector contains no user serviceable parts. Refer all repairs to 
qualified personnel only. Make sure that no objects enter into the vents and openings of the 
set. 
Do not spill any liquids on the projector or into the vents or openings of the unit. 
Always remove lens cap before switching on the projector. If the lens cap is not removed, 
it may melt due to the high energy light emitted through the lens. Melting the lens cap may 
permanently damage the surface of the projection lens. 
Do not look into the projection lens when the projector is switched on. The strong light may 
permanently damage sight.  Do not look into the laser beam when activate\
d on the remote 
control. Laser light may permanently damage sight. 
Do not point laser beam at people or animals.
Only place the projector on a stable surface, or mount it securely using an approved ceiling-
mount.
Do not drop the projector.
Always operate the projector according to the rotation guidelines found on the web. Operat-
ing the unit in other positions may reduce lamp life significantly, and may lead to overheating, 
resulting in malfunctioning.
Always allow ample airflow through the projector. Never block any of the air vents. Never 
cover the unit in any way while running. Allow for sufficient distance\
 to walls and ceilings to 
avoid overheating. 
Minimum safety distance to any side of the unit is 50 cm / 20” in any\
 direction.
CAUTION! Hot air is exhausted from the rear vent. Do not place objects that are \
sensitive 
to heat nearer than 50cm / 20” to the exhaust vent.
The projector is designed for indoor use only. Never operate the unit outdoors.
Do not operate the projector outside its temperature and humidity specifications, as this may 
result in overheating and malfunctioning.

CAUTION! Connecting sources to a powered projector may result in product failure\
. It is 
recommended that the power cable connector (projector-end) or the main\
s power socket 
are accessible whilst the product is in use to enable mains power to be \
disconnected or 
switched off when connecting source devices. This should be considered d\
uring product 
installation.
Only connect the projector to signal sources and voltages as described in the technical 
specification. Connecting to unspecified signal sources or voltages may lead to malfunction 
and permanent damage of the unit.
In order to prevent damage to the projector caused by overvoltages (e.g. lightning), we rec-
ommend connection to a line (mains) circuit which has overvoltage protection.
Allow lamp to cool down before changing. One lamp may be changed while the other lamp  
is operating (hot-swap). USE ONLY ORIGINAL LAMPS.
2.2.1 INFORMATION AND WARNING ABOUT POTENTIAL HEALTH ISSUES RELATED 
TO MERCURY VAPOR (This section only applies to projectors with UHP lamps)
This projector uses a very powerful UHP™ lamp for illumination to produce an extremely 
bright image.
This technology is similar to other high-pressure discharge lamps that are extensively used in 
cars, street lights and other lighting appliances today. These lamps, like fluorescent lighting, 
contain small amounts of mercury. The amount of mercury present in a lamp is far below the 
limits of danger set by the authorities. It is very important that lamps\
 containing mercury are 
treated properly to minimize potential health hazards. 
The UHP™ lamp, like any other high brightness projector lamp, is under high-pressure when 
operating. While the lamp and the projector are carefully designed to minimize the prob-
ability of lamp rupture, the lamp may break while operating and small amounts of mercury 
vapor may be emitted from the projector. The probability of rupture increases when the lamp 
reaches its nominal life. It is therefore highly recommended that the lamp is replaced when 
the rated lifetime is reached.
As a general precaution, secure good ventilation in the room when operating the projector. If 
lamp rupture occurs, evacuate the room and secure good ventilation. Children and pregnant 
women in particular should leave the room. 
When replacing a worn lamp, dispose of the used lamp carefully by proper recycling.
Mercury is a naturally occurring, stable metallic element that may pose a s\
afety risk to people 
under certain conditions. According to the Public Health Statement for Mercury published by 
the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (“ATSDR”, part of the United States 
Public Health Service), the brain, central nervous system and kidneys a\
re sensitive to the 
effects of mercury, and permanent damage can occur at sufficiently high levels of exposu\
re. 
Acute exposure to high concentrations of mercury vapor can cause conditions such as 
lung and airway irritation, tightness in the chest, a burning sensation in the lungs, coughing, 
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Children and fetuses are particularly sensitive to the harmful 
effects of metallic mercury to the nervous system. 
Seek medical attention if any of the above symptoms are experienced or if other unusual 
conditions are experienced following lamp rupture.
