1.3 Important safety instructions
To prevent the risk of electrical shock
• This product should be operated from a mono phase AC power source.
• This apparatus must be grounded (earthed) via the supplied 3 conductor AC power cable. If none of the
supplied power cables are the correct one, consult your dealer. If you are unable to insert the plug into the
outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding-
type plug.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where persons will walk on the
cord. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Use only the power cord supplied with your device. While appearing to be similar, other power cords have
not been safety tested at the factory and may not be used to power the device. For a replacement power
cord, contact your dealer.
• Do not operate the projector with a damaged cord. Replace the cord.
• Do not operate the projector if the projector has been dropped or damaged until it has been examined and
approved for operation by a qualified service technician. Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over,
pulled, or contact hot surfaces.
• If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the projector should
be used. A cord rated for less amperage than the projector may overheat.
• 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.
• Do not expose this projector to rain or moisture.
• Do not immerse or expose this projector in water or other liquids.
• Do not spill liquid of any kind on this projector.
• 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.
• Warning: high intensity light beam. NEVER look into the lens! High luminance could result in damage to the
eye.
• Warning: extremely high brightness laser: This projector uses extremely high brightness laser. Never
attempt to look directly into the lens or at the laser.
• The power input at the projector side is considered as the disconnect device. When required to switch off
the projector, to access parts inside, always disconnect the power cord at the projector side. In case the
power input at the projector side is not accessible (e.g. ceiling mount), the socket outlet supplying the
projector shall be installed nearby the projector and be easily accessible, or a readily accessible general
disconnect device shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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
“Risk Group 3 Safety”, page 12 ,
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.
