Caution on fire hazard
DO NOT PLACE FLAMMABLE OR COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS NEAR PROJECTOR !
BARCO large screen projection products are designed and manufactured to meet the most stringent safety regulations. This projector
radiates heat on its external surfaces and from ventilation ducts during normal operation, which is both normal and safe.
Explosing flammable or combustible materials into close proximity of this projector could result in the spontaneous ignition of that
material, resulting in a fire. 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. Do not cover the projector with any material while the projector is in operation.
Keep flammable and combustible materials away from the projector at all times. Mount the projector is a well ventilated area away
from sources of ignition and out of direct sun light. Never expose the projector to rain or excessive moisture. In the event of fire,
use sand, CO2, or dry powder fire extinguishers; never use water on anelectrical 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.
On installation
1. Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious damage to it.
2. Do not use this equipment near water.
3. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom 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 projector should not be placed in a built-in installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
4. Do not block the projector cooling fans or free air movement under and around the projector. Loose papers or other objects
may not be nearer to the projector than 4" on any side.

On repacking
Save the original shipping carton and packing material; they will come in handy if you ever have to ship your equipment. For maximum
protection, repack your set as it was originally packed at the factory.
On illumination
In order to obtain the best quality for the projected image, it is essential that the ambient light which is allowed to fall on the screen
be kept to an absolute minimum.
When installing the projector and screen, care must be taken to avoid exposure to ambient light directly on the screen. Avoid adverse
illumination on the screen from direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting fixtures.
The use of controlled ambient lighting, such as incandescent spot light or a dimmer, is recommended for proper room illumination.
Where possible, care should also be taken to ensure that the floors and walls of the room in which the projector is to be installed are
non-reflecting, dark surfaces. Brighter surfaces will tend to reflect and diffuse the ambient light and hence reduce the contrast of
the projected image on the screen.
