Guarantee and Compensation
Barco provides a guarantee relating to perfect manufacturing as part of the legally stipulated terms of
guarantee. On receipt, the purchaser must immediately inspect all delivered goods for damage incurred during
transport, as well as for material and manufacturing faults Barco must be informed immediately in writing of
any complaints.

The period of guarantee begins on the date of transfer of risks, in the case of special systems and software on
the date of commissioning, at latest 30 days after the transfer of risks. In the event of justified notice of
complaint, Barco can repair the fault or provide a replacement at its own discretion within an appropriate
period. If this measure proves to be impossible or unsuccessful, the purchaser can demand a reduction in the
purchase price or cancellation of the contract. All other claims, in particular those relating to compensation for
direct or indirect damage, and also damage attributed to the operation of software as well as to other services
provided by Barco, being a component of the system or independent service, will be deemed invalid provided
the damage is not proven to be attributed to the absence of properties guaranteed in writing or due to the
intent or gross negligence or part of Barco.
If the purchaser or a third party carries out modifications or repairs on goods delivered by Barco, or if the
goods are handled incorrectly, in particular if the systems are operated incorrectly or if, after the transfer of
risks, the goods are subject to influences not agreed upon in the contract, all guarantee claims of the
purchaser will be rendered invalid. Not included in the guarantee coverage are system failures which are
attributed to programs or special electronic circuitry provided by the purchaser, e.g. interfaces. Normal wear
as well as normal maintenance are not subject to the guarantee provided by Barco either.
The environmental conditions as well as the servicing and maintenance regulations specified in this manual

2.1 General considerations
General safety 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.
•All warnings on the projector and in the documentation manuals should be adhered to.
•All instructions for operating and use of this equipment must be followed precisely.
•All local installation codes should be adhered to.
Notice on safety
This equipment is built in accordance with the requirements of the international safety standards IEC60950-1,
EN60950-1, UL60950-1 and CAN/CSA C22.2 No.60950-1, which are the safety standards of information
technology equipment including electrical business equipment. These safety standards impose important
requirements on the use of safety critical components, materials and insulation, in order to protect the user or
operator against risk of electric shock and energy hazard and having access to live parts. Safety standards
also impose limits to the internal and external temperature rises, radiation levels, mechanical stability and
strength, enclosure construction and protection against the risk of fire. Simulated single fault condition testing
ensures the safety of the equipment to the user even when the equipment's normal operation fails.
Notice on optical radiation
This projector embeds extremely high brightness (radiance) lasers; this laser light is processed through the
projector's optical path. Native laser light is not accessible by the end user in any use case. The light exiting
the projection lens has been diffused within the optical path, representing a larger source and lower radiance
value than native laser light. Nevertheless the projected light represents a significant risk for the human eye
and skin when exposed directly within the beam. This risk is not specifically related to the characteristics of
laser light but solely to the high thermal induced energy of the light source; which is equivalent with lamp
based systems.
Thermal retinal eye injury is possible when exposed within the Hazard Distance (HD). The HD is defined from
the projection lens surface towards the position of the projected beam where the irradiance equals the
maximum permissible exposure as described in the chapter “Hazard Distance”.
WARNING: No direct exposure to the beam within the hazard distance shall be permitted, RG3
(Risk Group 3) IEC EN 62471-5:2015
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
