1. SAFETY AND WARNINGS
This user guide contains important information about safety precautions and the set-up and use of the
projector. Please read the manual carefully before you operate the projector.
SAFETY
This device complies with relevant safety regulations for data processing equipment for use in an office
environment. Before using the projector for the first time, please read the safety instructions thoroughly.
WARNING
Use only the cables and cords supplied with the projector or original replacement cables. Using other cables or
cords may lead to malfunction and permanent damage of the unit.
Always use 3-prong / grounded power cord to ensure proper grounding of the unit. Never use 2-prong power
cords, as this is dangerous and could lead to electrical shock.
Never open the unit. The projector contains no user serviceable parts. Refer all repairs to qualified personnel
only.
Make sure that no objects enter into the vents and openings of the set. Do not spill any liquids on the
projector or into the vents or openings of the unit.
Always remove lens cap before switching on the projector. If the lens cap is not removed, it may melt due to
the high-energy light emitted through the lens. Melting the lens cap may permanently damage the surface of
the projection lens.
Do not look into the projection lens when the projector is switched on. The strong light may permanently
damage sight.
Do not look into the laser beam when activated on the remote control. Laser light may permanently damage
sight. Do not point laser beam on people.
Only place the projector on a stable surface, or mount it securely using an approved ceiling mount.
Do not drop the projector.
Always operate the projector horizontally, within the range of the adjustable rear feet. Operating the unit in
other positions may reduce lamp life significantly, and may lead to overheating, resulting in malfunctioning.

1. SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Always allow ample airflow through the projector. Never block any of the air vents. Never cover the unit in any
way while running. Allow for sufficient distance to walls and ceilings to avoid overheating.
Minimum safety distance to any side of the unit is 50 cm / 20” in any direction.
CAUTION! Hot air is exhausted from the rear vent. Do not place objects that are sensitive to heat nearer than
50cm / 20” to the exhaust vent.
The Goldmund Eidos 1080p projector is designed for indoor use only. Never operate the unit outdoors.
Do not operate the projector outside its temperature and humidity specifications, as this may result in
overheating and malfunctioning.
Only connect the projector to signal sources and voltages as described in the technical specification.
Connecting to unspecified signal sources or voltages may lead to malfunction and permanent damage of the
unit.
Allow the unit to cool down for 60 minutes before lamp change.
INFORMATION AND WARNING ABOUT POTENTIAL HEALTH ISSUES RELATED TO MERCURY
VAPOR.
The Goldmund Eidos 1080p uses a very powerful UHP™ lamp for illumination to produce an extremely bright
image.
This technology is similar to other high-pressure discharge lamps that are extensively used in cars, street
lights and other lighting appliances today. These lamps, like fluorescent lighting, contain small amounts of
mercury. The amount of mercury present in a lamp is far below the limits of danger set by the authorities.
It is very important that lamps containing mercury are treated properly to minimize potential health hazards.
The UHP™ lamp, like any other high brightness projector lamp, is under high-pressure when operating. While
the lamp and the projector are carefully designed to minimize the probability of lamp rupture, the lamp may
break while operating and small amounts of mercury vapor may be emitted from the projector. The probability
of rupture increases when the lamp reaches its nominal life. It is therefore highly recommended that the lamp
is replaced when the rated lifetime is reached.
As a general precaution, secure good ventilation in the room when operating the projector. If lamp rupture
occurs, evacuate the room and secure good ventilation. Children and pregnant women in particular should
leave the room.

1. SAFETY AND WARNINGS
When replacing a worn lamp, dispose of the used lamp carefully by proper recycling.
Mercury is a naturally occurring, stable metallic element that may pose a safety risk to people under certain
conditions. According to the Public Health Statement for Mercury published by the Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease Registry (“ATSDR”, part of the United States Public Health Service), the brain, central
nervous system and kidneys are sensitive to the effects of mercury, and permanent damage can occur at
sufficiently high levels of exposure. Acute exposure to high concentrations of mercury vapor can cause
conditions such as lung and airway irritation, tightness in the chest, a burning sensation in the lungs,
coughing, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Children and fetuses are particularly sensitive to the harmful effects
of metallic mercury to the nervous system.
Seek medical attention if any of the above symptoms are experienced or if other unusual conditions are
experienced following lamp rupture.
WARNING
This product contains chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Recycle properly, do not dispose of in ordinary waste!”
REMOTE CONTROL WARNING
Laser radiation class II product; wavelength 670nm; maximum output 1mW.
Remote control complies with applicable requirements of 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11.
Remote control complies with applicable requirements of EN 60 825-1: 1994 + A11

3. OPTIONAL LENSES
A range of fixed and zoom lenses is available to cover most applications, both front and rear. The lenses are
powered and fitted with a bayonet mount for ease of installation.
Switch off all equipment before setting-up for proper function.
When mounting and changing lenses, be aware that the optical system is exposed to dust and foreign
particles as long as the lens is not attached to the system. Do not leave the lens mount open longer than
necessary to change lens. If a lens is not mounted, always insert the protection lid to avoid dust and foreign
particles entering the internal optics.
Never run the projector without lens mounted.
A_ Remove the protection lid from the bayonet mount by turning the knob anti-clockwise.
B_ Remove the rear lens cap.
C_ Attach the projection lens using the bayonet mount, observing the red insertion marks.
D_ Turn the lens firmly clockwise until it stops with a click.
E_ Remove the lens cap from the projection lens. If you switch the projector on with the lens cap in place, the
lens cap may melt, damaging not only the lens cap, but also the projection lens and surrounding parts.
F_ To change lens, first remove the current lens by pushing the release button and twisting the lens counter-
clockwise until it comes loose.
- Pull the lens out.
- Insert the new lens as described above.
