General precautions
Do not open the cabinet. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Use only the power cable provided.
Ensure that the power outlet includes a Ground connection, as this
equipment MUST be earthed.
Take care to prevent small objects such as paper or wire from falling
into the projector. If this does happen, switch off immediately, and have
the objects removed by authorised service personnel.
Do not expose the projector to rain or moisture, and do not place any
liquids on top of the projector.
Unplug before cleaning, and use a damp, not wet, cloth.
Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.
Do not touch the power plug during a thunder storm.
Handle the power cable carefully and avoid sharp bends. Do not use a
damaged power cable.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the lamp module. The whole
module should be replaced.
Take care when removing the lamp module.
NEVER touch the lamp or reflector.
Take care not to touch the glass surface of the lamp module. If you do
accidentally touch the glass, it should be cleaned before use. (see
section 5. Maintenance.)
Do not use the lamp for more than 1500 hours, as this may cause
serious lamp failure, damage the lamp module and cause extra cost on
replacement.
HID lamps produce high intensity light. Do not look directly at the light
coming from the lamp housing, or the lens, or allow items such as
magnifying lenses to be placed in the light path. This could result in
serious eye damage.
Do not touch the ventilation outlets, as they will become hot in use.
Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation outlets or inlets.
Do not cover the lens whilst the projector is switched on. This could
cause a fire
Always allow the projector to cool for 5 minutes before disconnecting
the power, moving the projector or changing the lamp.
Never use strong detergents or solvents such as alcohol or thinners to
clean the projector and lens.

Installation precautions
Connect the LAN cable only to a computer LAN connection. Other
similar connectors may have a dangerously high voltage source.
The projector must be installed only by suitably qualified personnel, in
accordance with local building codes.
The projector should be installed as close to the power outlet as
possible.
The power connection should be easily accessible, so that it can be
disconnected in an emergency.
Ensure that there is at least 30cm (12in) of space between the
ventilation outlets and any wall, and 10cm (4in) on all other sides.
Do not install the projector close to anything that might be affected by
its operational heat, for instance, polystyrene ceiling tiles, curtains etc.
The projector weighs approximately 27 kg (50 lbs). Use safe handling
techniques when lifting the projector.
When stacking projectors, the stack MUST be vertical, to ensure that
the stresses are distributed to all frame couplings.
Before installation, make sure that the surface, ceiling or rigging that is
to support the projector is capable of supporting the combined weight
of the projector and lens (see specification for exact weights).
Separate backup safety chains or wires should always be used for each
projector.
Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector chassis. Only the
chassis corners and the rigging frame are capable of withstanding the
weight of another projector.
Do not stack more than 3 projectors.
The lens release lever should always be set to the locked position to
prevent the lens from falling out.
Do not drop or jarr the projector.
The lens release lever should always be set to the locked position to
prevent the lens from falling out.
Place the projector in a dry area away from sources of dust, moisture,
steam, smoke, sunlight or heat.
Do not tilt the projector more than ±12° from side to side when in use,
as this may cause serious lamp failure, damage the lamp module and
cause extra cost on replacement. The projector my be tilted forwards
and backwards as necessary.
