This user manual contains important information regarding safety precautions and the set-up
and use of the projector. Please read the manual carefully before you operate the projector.
4.1 Safety
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 and
warning instructions thoroughly.
4.2 Warnings
Always use 3-prong power cord to ensure proper grounding of the unit. Never use 2-prong
power cords, 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 unit.
Do not spill any liquids on the projector or into the vents or openings of the unit.
Always remove the 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 your eyesight.
Do not look into the laser beam when activated on the remote control. Laser light may
permanently damage your eyesight.
Do not point the laser beam at people.
Only place the projector on a stable surface, or mount it securely using an approved ceiling-
mount.
Do not drop the projector.
Always allow sufficient airflow through the projector. Never block any of the air vents. Never
cover the unit in any way while it is operation. Allow sufficient distance to walls and ceilings in
order 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 side 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.
Operating the projector in a dusty environment may reduce performance or damage projector.
Only connect the projector to signal sources and voltages as described in the technical
specification chapter. Connecting to unspecified signal sources or voltages may lead to
malfunction and permanent damage of the unit.
Allow the unit to cool down for 60 minutes before lamp change.
4.3 Mercury Vapour
The following information and warnings about potential health issues relate to mercury vapour.
This projector is using an extremely bright UHP™ lamp for illumination to attain the desired high
brightness 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 probability 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 safety 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 are sensitive to the
effects of mercury, and permanent damage can occur at sufficiently high levels of exposure.

3D perception C OMPACT V IEW SX+40

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.
4.4 Remote Control Warning
Laser radiation class II product; wavelength 670nm; maximum output 1mW.
Remote control complies with applicable requirements of 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11.
Remote control complies with applicable requirements of EN 60 825-1: 1994 + A11

5. B EFORE S ET - UP AND U SE
Be sure you have read the Safety and Warnings chapter in this manual before proceeding with
the set-up and use of the C OMPACT V IEW SX+40 projector.
Unpack the supplied parts and familiarize yourself with the various components.
Remove the lens cap from the projection lens. If you switch the projector on with the lens cap in
place, the lens cap may melt, damaging not only the lens cap itself, but also the projection lens
and surrounding parts.

Before any set-up, switch off all equipment.
11.1 Set-up computer
The projector may be connected to up to three computer sources simultaneously, using the
VGA and DVI inputs.
The VGA interface is analog and may cause some noise in the projected image, depending on
the signal quality from the VGA graphics card in the computer and cabling.
The DVI (Digital Visual Interface) interface is all digital and will yield a projected image with very
low noise.
Connect the USB cable to allow for remote mouse control.
Connect the power cord.
Connect the RS232 interface to allow for individual or global control of multiple units in a daisy
chain configuration.
Connect the LAN connector for individual control and monitoring of multiple projectors over
LAN.

11.2 Set-up Video
Three video sources may be connected, using the YPbPr (component), S-VIDEO (super video)
and VIDEO (composite video) inputs.
Component video will display more detailed images. Composite video yields images with less
detail.
In addition, the DVI-D input can be used with video sources (DVD player fitted with an HDCPTM
compliant DVI or HDMI connector) for a pure digital connection.
Connect the power cord.
