    Installation Instructions Before operating this equipment please read this manual thoroughly, and retain it for future reference. Installation and preliminary adjustments should be performed by qualified BARCO personnel or by authorized BARCO service dealers. Owner’s Record The part number and serial number are located at the back side of the projector. Record these numbers in the spaces provided below.
  • Page 10: Caution On Fire Hazard

    For this reason, it is absolutely necessary to leave an "exclusion zone" around all external surfaces of the projector whereby no flammable or combustible materials are present. The exclusion zone must be not less that 10 cm (4") for Barco Retro Projectors.
  • Page 11 If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service. • Replacement parts: When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used original BARCO replace- ment 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, electric shock or other hazards.
