Digital Projection MERCURY 5000HD
Power Supply
1. The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of
100-240 V 50/60 Hz AC. Ensure that your power supply fits
this requirement before attempting to use your projector.
2. Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive
bending. A damaged cord can cause electric shock or fire.
3. If the projector is not to be used for an extended period of
time, disconnect the plug from the power outlet.
4. Do not touch the power plug with wet hand. Doing so can
cause electrical shock or fire.
5. Do not touch the power plug during a thunder storm. Doing
so can cause electrical shock or fire.
Cleaning
1. Unplug the projector before cleaning.
2. Clean the cabinet periodically with a damp cloth. If heavily
soiled, use a mild detergent. Never use strong detergents or
solvents such as alcohol or thinner.
3. Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful
not to scratch or mar the lens.
CAUTION
Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet under any
one of the following circumstances. Doing so can cause
damage to the projector:
• While the message "Please wait a moment." appears. This
message will be displayed after the projector is turned off.
• Immediately after the power cable is plugged into the wall
outlet (the POWER indicator has not changed to a steady
orange glow).
• Immediately after the cooling fan stops working (The cooling
fan continues to work for 90 seconds after the projector is
turned off).
CAUTION
• Do not try to touch the ventilation outlets as they can
become heated while the projector is turned on.
• Do not put the projector on its side when the lamp is turned
on.
Doing so may cause damage to the projector.
• Before shipping this projector, remove the lens and attach
the lens hood cap.
The Lens Shift mechanism may encounter damage caused
by improper handling during transportation.
• Do not eject a PC card or LAN card while its data is being
accessed. Doing so can damage your PC card or LAN card.
Lamp Replacement
• To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page
9-2.
• Be sure to replace the lamp when the message "The Lamp
has reached the end of its usable life. Please replace the
lamp." appears. If you continue to use the lamp after the
lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb
may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the
lamp case. CAUTION: Do not touch them as the pieces
of glass may cause injury. If this happens, contact your Digital
Projection dealer for lamp replacement.
• Allow a minimum of 90 seconds to elapse after turning off
the projector. Then turn off the main power and disconnect
the power cable and allow 15 minutes to cool the projector
before replacing the lamp.
• The projector must be operated with two lamps installed
regardless of whether or not the lamp is active. Failure to do
so may degrade the performance of the projector such as
screen flicker or loss of lamp life. If one lamp has reached the
end of its usable life, replace it with a new one as soon as
possible.
Fire and Shock Precautions
1. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are
unobstructed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your
projector. Allow at least 3 inches (10 cm) of space between
your projector and a wall, except to the rear and the
ventilation outlet on the right side, where there should be at
least 12 inches (30cm) of space.
2. Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper
from falling into your projector. Do not attempt to retrieve any
objects that might fall into your projector. Do not insert any
metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your projector.
If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it
immediately and have the object removed by a qualified
Digital Projection service personnel.
3. Do not place any liquids on top of your projector.
4. When using a LAN cable:
For safety, do not connect to the connector for peripheral
device wiring that might have excessive Voltage.
CAUTION
• Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious
damage to your eyes could result.
• Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light
path of the projector. The light being projected from the lens
is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can
redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause
unpredictable outcome such as fire or injury to the eyes.
• Do not cover the lens with the supplied lens hood cap or
equivalent while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to
melting of the cap and possibly burning your hands due to
the heat emitted from the light output.
7. If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling:
a. Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
b. The projector must be installed by qualified technicians
in order to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk
of bodily injury.
c. In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support
the projector and the installation must be in accordance
with any local building codes.
d. Please consult your dealer for more information.
To Dealer or Installer:
To prevent the projector from falling, install it in a place and
fasten it in a way with sufficient strength to support the
combined weight of the projector (25 kg / 55 lbs), the lens and
any mounting hardware, for an extended period of time as well
as to withstand earthquakes.
