1. Safety
To prevent projector damage
• Leave an exclusion zone around all external surfaces of the projector. See "Safety training to be provided by the installer", page
5.
• This projector has been designed for use with a speci fi c lamp (house) type. See installation instructions for its correct type.
• The air fi lters of the projector must be cleaned or replaced on regular base. Neglecting this could result in disrupting the air fl ow
inside the projector, causing overheating. Overheating may lead to the projector shutting down during operation.
• The projector must always be installed in a manner which ensures free fl ow of air into its air inlets and the mandatory exhausted
system must be capable of removing minimum 10m
3
/min (350 CFM) measured at the projector’s exhaust opening.
• In order to ensure that correct air fl ow is maintained, and that the projector complies with Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
requirements, it should always be operated with all of it’s covers in place.
• Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from
overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product
on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. The
device should not be placed in a built-in installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
• Ensure that nothing can be spilled on, or dropped inside the projector. If this does happen, switch off and unplug the mains
supply immediately. Do not operate the projector again until it has been checked by quali
fi ed service personnel.
• Do not block the projector cooling fans or free air movement around the projector.
• Do not use this equipment near water.
• Proper operation of the projector can only be guaranteed in table mounting. It is not permitted to use the projector in another
position. See installation procedure for correct installation.
• Special care for Laser Beams : special care should be used when DLP projectors are used in the same room as high power
laser equipment. Direct or indirect hitting of a laser beam on to the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror Devices TM in
which case there is a loss of warranty.
• Never place the projector in direct sun light. Sun light on the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror Devices
TM
in which
case there is a loss of warranty.
• Save the original shipping carton and packing material. They will come in handy if you ever have to ship your equipment. For
maximum protection, repack your set as it was originally packed at the factory.
• Disconnect the power to the projectors mains terminals before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use
a damp cloth for cleaning. Never use strong solvents, such as thinner or benzine, or, patrol, or abrasive cleaners, since these
will damage the cabinet. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with mild detergent solution.
• To ensure the highest optical performance and resolution, the projection lenses are specially treated with an anti-re fl ective
coating, therefore, avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens, use a soft dry cloth. Do not use a damp cloth, detergent
solution, or thinner.
• Rated maximum ambient temperature, t
a
= 35°C (95°F).
• The lamp house shall be replaced if it has become damaged or thermally deformed.
On servicing
• Refer all servicing to quali fi ed service personnel.
• Attempts to alter the factory-set internal controls or to change other control settings not specially discussed in this manual can
lead to permanent damage to the projector and cancellation of the warranty.

- When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
- If liquid has been spilled into the equipment.
- If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

require extensive work by quali
fi ed service personnel to restore the product to normal operation.
- If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
- If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.
• When replacement parts are required, be sure the service personnel has used original Barco replacement parts or authorized
replacement parts which have the same characteristics as the Barco original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in
degraded performance and reliability,
fi re, electric shock or other hazards. Unauthorized substitutions may void warranty.
• Upon completion of any service or repairs to this projector, ask the service personnel to perform safety checks to determine
that the product is in proper operating condition.
