• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the set and have it checked by qualified
service personnel before resuming operations.
• Do not disassemble this projector, always take it to an authorized trained service person when service or
repair work is required.
• Do not use an accessory attachment which is not recommended by the manufacturer.
• 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 device
due to lightning and AC power-line surges.
To prevent personal injury
• To prevent injury and physical damage, always read this manual and all labels on the system before
connecting to the wall outlet or adjusting the projector.
• To prevent injury, take note of the weight of the projector.
• To prevent injury, ensure that the lens and all covers are correctly installed. See installation procedures.
• High brightness warning: The projector light source must be switched off when no projection lens is
installed.
• It is hazardous to operate without lens or shield. Always switch the output light off when replacing a lens.
• Lenses or shields shall be changed if they have become visibly damaged to such extent that their
effectiveness is impaired. For example by cracks or deep scratches.
• Warning: high intensity light beam. NEVER look into the lens! High luminance could result in damage to the
eye.
• When installing an interchangeable lens with a throw ratio that makes the projector become an RG3 unit,
(See chapter “Available lenses” in the installation manual), refer to chapter “High Brightness Precautions”,
for information regarding precautions.
• FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY means installation can only be carried out by Barco AUTHORIZED
PERSONNEL familiar with potential hazards associated with high intensity light beams.
• Warning: High brightness projector: This projector embeds high brightness (radiance) lasers; this laser
light is processed through the projectors optical path. Native laser light is not accessible by the end user in
any use case. The light exiting the projection lens has been diffused within the optical path, representing a
larger source and lower radiance value than native laser light. Nevertheless, when RG3, the projected light
represents a significant risk for the human eye when exposed directly within the beam. This risk is not
specific related to the characteristics of laser light but solely to the high thermal induced energy of the light
source; which is comparable with lamp based systems. When RG3, thermal retinal eye injury is possible
when exposed within the Hazard Distance. The Hazard Distance (HD) is defined from the projection lens
surface towards the position of the projected beam where the irradiance equals the maximum permissible
exposure as described in the chapter “High brightness precautions: Hazard distance”.
• Always switch off the projector and disconnect from the mains power supply before attempting to remove
any of the projector covers or access parts inside the projector.
• This product contains no user serviceable parts. Attempts to modify/replace mechanics or electronics
inside the housing or compartments will violate any warranties and may be hazardous.
• For correct physical installation, refer to the Installation manual.
• Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious
damage to it and possible injury to the user.
• Only place the projector on a stable surface, or mount it securely using an approved ceiling-mount.
• Cooling liquid circuit. The projector contains a cooling circuit filled with Mono-ethylene glycol (1,2-ehtane
diol) and inhibitors in aqueous solution (34% active). In the unlikely event that the cooling circuit has a leak,
switch off the device and contact qualified service personnel. The liquid is not for household use. Keep out
of range of children. Harmful by oral intake. Avoid exposure to pregnant women. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin and clothing. Avoid inhaling the noxious fumes.
To prevent fire hazard
• Barco projection products are designed and manufactured to meet the most stringent safety regulations.
This projector radiates heat on its external surfaces and from ventilation ducts during normal operation,
which is both normal and safe. Exposing flammable or combustible materials into close proximity of this
projector 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 projector whereby no
flammable or combustible materials are present.
• Do not place flammable or combustible materials near the projector!
