The safety instructions provided in this manual are to ensure the long life of your
projector and to prevent fire and shock. Please read them carefully and heed all
warnings.
Fire and Shock Precautions
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent
potentially dangerous concentrations of ozone and the build-up of heat inside your
projector. Allow at least 20cm (8”) of space between your projector and a wall.
Allow at least 50cm (20”) of space between the ventilation duct outlet and object.
Ensure that nothing can be spilled on, or dropped inside the projector. If this does
happen, switch off and unplug the mains supply immediately. Do not operate the
projector again until it has been checked by qualified service personnel.
Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your projector.
Lamp Precautions
Due to the lamp being sealed in a pressurised environment, there is a small risk of
explosion, if not operated correctly. There is minimal risk involved, if the unit is in
proper working order, but if damaged or operated beyond the recommended 1500
hours, the risk of explosion increases.
The projector has a warning system that displays the following message when you
reach 1500 hours of operation - Lamp Running Time is Over 1500 Hours!!. When
you see this message please contact your Digital Projection dealer for a
replacement lamp.

gas, and will not cause harm if kept out of your eyes. If your eyes have been
exposed to this gas, please flush your eyes out with water immediately and seek
immediate medical attention. Do not rub your eyes as this could cause
serious injury.
WARNING: Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to
your eyes could result.
CAUTION: The high pressure lamp may explode if improperly handled. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
Power Supply
The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 1.0kW 100-120VAC /
1.5kW 200-240VAC 50/60Hz. Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement
before attempting to use your projector.
Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending. A damaged cord can
cause electric shock or fire.
Running the power cord and the RGB cable close to each other can cause beat
noise. If this happens, keep the two separated so that beat noise is not generated.
If the projector is not be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the plug
from the power outlet. Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet under the
following circumstances, doing so may cause damage to the projector:
a) Immediately after the power cable is plugged into the wall outlet (the POWER
indicator has not changed to a steady amber glow).
b) Immediately after the lamp has been switched off. After the projector is turned
off with the POWER OFF button the cooling fan continues to operate for 3
minutes while the Two Digit INDICATOR "--" flashes.
c) While the hour glass icon or the message ‘Please wait a litttle’ is being displayed.

Installation Advice
The projector should be placed on a flat, level surface and in a dry area free from
dust and moisture. Do not place the projector in direct sunlight, near heaters or heat
radiating appliances. Exposure to direct sunlight, smoke or steam could harm
internal components.
The projector should always be handled with care. Dropping or jarring the projector
could damage internal components.
If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling do not attempt to install the
projector yourself. The projector must be installed in accordance with any local
building codes by qualified technicians in order to ensure proper operation and
reduce the risk of bodily injury.
