2 Safety and compliance

2.1 General safety considerations

• Use only the cables and cords supplied with the projector or original replacement cables. Using other cables
or cords may lead to malfunction and permanent damage to 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.
• 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. Operating 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 (15 cm/ 6" to ceiling).
• Hot air is exhausted from the rear vent. Do not place objects that are sensitive to heat nearer than 50 cm /
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 over-
heating and malfunctioning.
• Only connect the projector to signal sources and voltages as described in the technical specification. Connect-
ing 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 over-voltages (e.g. lightning), we recommend connec-
tion to a line (mains) circuit which has over voltage protection.
• Allow lamp to cool down for at least 60 minutes before changing.
USE ONLY ORIGINAL LAMPS.
• Connecting sources to a powered projector may result in product failure. It is recommended that the power
cable connector (projector-end) or the mains power socket is 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 during product installation.
