extinguishers.
• Never use water on an electrical fire.
• Always have service performed on this projector by authorized Barco service personnel. Always insist on
genuine Barco replacement parts. Never use non-Barco replacement parts as they may degrade the safety
of this projector.
• Projection rooms must be well ventilated or cooled in order to avoid heat buildup.
• Let the projector cool down completely before storing. Remove cord from the projector when storing.
To prevent projector damage
• To ensure correct airflow is maintained the projector should only be operated when all of its covers in
place.
• 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
• 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.
• To ensure correct airflow is maintained, it should only be operated when all of its covers are in place.
• The projector must always be installed in a manner which ensures free flow of air into its air inlets and
unimpeded evacuation of the hot air from its cooling system.
• Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product
and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should
never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should
never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. The device should not be placed in a built-in
installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided. Ensure that nothing can be spilled on, or
dropped inside the projector. If this does happen, switch off and unplug the mains supply immediately. Do
not operate the projector again until it has been checked by Barco authorized service personnel.
• Do not block the projector cooling fans or free air movement around the projector. Minimum safety distance
to the exhaust area of the unit must not be less than 100 cm (40") and to the intake area, not less than 50
cm (20").
• Do not use this equipment near water.
• Do not operate the projector outside its temperature and humidity specifications as this may result in
overheating and malfunction.
• Never place the projector in direct sun light. Sun light on the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror

dampened with mild detergent solution.
• To ensure the highest optical performance and resolution, the projection lenses are specially treated with
an anti-reflective coating, therefore, avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens, use a soft dry
cloth. Do not use a damp cloth, detergent solution, or thinner.
On servicing
• Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage potentials and risk of electric shock.
• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
• Attempts to alter the factory-set internal controls or to change other control settings not specially discussed
in this manual can lead to permanent damage to the projector and cancellation of the warranty.
• Replacement parts: When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used original
Barco replacement parts or authorized replacement parts which have the same characteristics as the
Barco original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in degraded performance and reliability, fire,
