6. 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 replacement parts or authorized replacement parts which have the same
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in degraded perfor-
mance and reliability, fire, electric shock or other hazards. Unauthorized substitutions may void
warranty.
Safety check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this Interface, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

of the projector (instead of using the CTRL3 Two way hardwired remote).
Different baudrate(baud)settings:
- 9600
- 19200
- 38400
- 57600
- 115200
See 'Menu Setup' for setting procedure.
To select the different serial modes use switch B (image 1).
