2.2 Information/Warning - Potential Mercury Vapor Health Issues
This projector uses a very powerful UHP™ lamp 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 however 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 operating under high-pressure. Even if 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 expected lifetime. It is therefore highly recommended that the lamp is
replaced when the specified 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.
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. Chil-
dren 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 experi-
enced following lamp rupture.

2.3 FCC compliance
FCC regulations state that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible manufacturer
could void your authority to operate the equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruc-
tion manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
If operation of this equipment does cause interference with radio communications services, which can be deter-
mined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to contact the installer used, or consult a Barco
Support representative who will try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient the receiving antenna.
• Relocate the Barco product with respect to the receiver.
• Move the Barco product away from the receiver.
• Other
