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.

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

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

1.1 Remote control, Battery installation
Where to find the batteries for the remote control ?
The batteries are not placed in the remote control unit to avoid control operation in its package, resulting
in a shorter battery life time. At delivery the batteries can be found in a separated bag attached to the
remote control unit. Before using your remote control, install the batteries first.
How to install
1. Push the battery cover tab with the fingernail a little backwards (1) and pull, at the same time, the cover
upwards (2).
