6. Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out
parts that could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the set and have it checked
by qualified service personnel before resuming operations.
7. Lightning - For added protection for this video product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the projector due to lightning and AC power-line surges.
Caution on Fire Hazard
Do not place flammable or combustible materials near projector !
These large screen projection products (systems) are designed and manufactured to meet the most stringent safety regulations.
The inside projector radiates heat on its external surfaces and from ventilation ducts during normal operation, which is both normal
and safe.
Explosing flammable or combustible materials into close proximity of this system could result in the spontaneous ignition of that material,
resulting in a fire. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary to leave an "exclusion zone" around all external surfaces of the system
whereby no flammable or combustible materials are present. The exclusion zone must be not less that 10 cm (4") for this system.
Do not cover the system with any material while the projector is in operation.
Keep flammable and combustible materials away from the projector at all times. Install the system in a well ventilated area away from
sources of ignition and out of direct sun light. Never expose the system to rain or excessive moisture. In the event of fire, use sand,
CO2, or dry powder fire extinguishers; never use water on anelectrical fire.
Always have service performed on this projector by authorized service personnel. Always insist on genuine BARCO/SGI replacement
parts. Never use non-BARCO/SGI replacement parts as they may degrade the safety of this projector.
On installation
For a safe installation, refer to setup-requirements doc/installation doc.
On servicing
Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage potentials
and risk of electric shock!
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the equipment.
c.If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the product does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed.
Note : Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions since improper adjustment of the other controls
may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation.
e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. 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/SGI
replacement parts or authorized replacement parts which have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in degraded performance and reliability, fire, electric shock or other hazards. Unauthorized substitutions
may void warranty.

Screen care and cleaning :
Before starting with the hole screen, test first on small part somewhere in the corner.
1. Brushing softly and lightly with a clean, soft bristled brush will remove any loose dirt or dust. Do not vacuum or use sharp
instruments.
2. More subborn soil may be removed with a mild solution of clear detergent, such as Joy, and lukewarm water. Rub lightly with
a cellulose sponge, working from the bottom of the screen up in sections. Rinse with clear water and blot with a clean, damp
sponge to remove excess water. Cleaning should be done in the shade.
3. Never attempt to use solvents, commercial cleaners, chemicals or any abrasive type cleaners on the screen.
4. Spotting areas in the screen is not recommended, the areas around the spot could show up badly. Rather, if the screen has
dust and dirt on it wash the entire screen as described in number 2 above and dry it like a beautiful black automobile finish. A
large damp cellulose sponge or chamois, softly applied, will absorb rinse water and prevent water spotting or streaking.
5. When painting in the vicinity be sure to protect the screen as paint is impossible to remove.
6. Keep your screen clean and avoid getting any foreign materials on it. Cleaning or removing scratches, paint, ink, nicotine stains,
etc., may prove to be difficult if not possible.
7. With reasonable care, you may expect many years of trouble-free use of your screen.
On repacking
If repacking is necessary, call SGI for more information.
On illumination
In order to obtain the best quality for the projected image, it is essential that the ambient light which is allowed to fall on the screen
be kept to an absolute minimum.
When installing the system, care must be taken to avoid exposure to ambient light directly on the screen. Avoid adverse illumination
on the screen from direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting fixtures.
The use of controlled ambient lighting, such as incandescent spot light or a dimmer, is recommended for proper room illumination.
Where possible, care should also be taken to ensure that the floors and walls of the room in which the projector is to be installed are
non-reflecting, dark surfaces. Brighter surfaces will tend to reflect and diffuse the ambient light and hence reduce the contrast of
the projected image on the screen.
