Page 5 Product revision • Because we at Digital Projection continually strive to improve our products, we may change specifications and designs, and add new features without prior notice. Projectors built prior to this revision of the User Manual may therefore not include all the features described.
Page 6 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).
Page 7 Digital Projection User Manual Important Information LIGHTNING 1080p, 1080p 3D/UC Installation precautions Notes 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 qualified personnel, in accordance with local building codes.
Page 8 Electronic Equipment. Our products are designed with reuse, recycling and recovery of all components in mind. To this end, at end of life, your projector may be returned to Digital Projection Ltd or its agent so that the environmental impact can be minimised.
