Safety warnings
W
ARNING
:
Before installing the projector,
fi
rst read the safety instructions in the safety manual (R5975258)
delivered with the projector.
Insure that the room can be easily evacuated in case of a lamp explosion.
Mercury vapor warnings
Keep the following warnings in mind when using the projector. The lamp used in the projector contains mercury. In case of a lamp
rupture or lamp explosion there will be a mercury vapor emission. In order to minimize the potential risk of inhaling mercury vapors:
•
Insure the projector is installed in ventilated rooms only.
•
Replace the lamp module before the end of its operational life.
•
Promptly ventilate the room after a lamp rupture or lamp explosion has occurred and evacuate the room (particularly in case of
a pregnant woman).
•
Seek medical attention if unusual health conditions occur after a lamp rupture or lamp explosion, such as headache, fatigue,
shortness of breath, chest-tightening coughing or nausea.

Installation guidelines
Ambient temperature check
Careful consideration of things such as image size, ambient light level, projector placement and type of screen to use are critical to
the optimum use of the projection system.
Max. ambient temperature : 40 °C or 104 °F
Min. ambient temperature : 0 °C or 32 °F
The projector will not operate if ambient air temperature falls outside this range (0°C- 40°C or 32°F-104°F).
Environment
Do not install the projection system in a site near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or humidity. Be aware that room heat rises to the ceiling; check that temperature near the installation site is not
excessive

AUTION
:
Harmful Environmental Contamination Precaution
Environment condition check
A projector must always be mounted in a manner which ensures the free
fl
ow of clean air into the projectors ventilation inlets as
well as free
fl
ow at the ventilation outlets. The installation must also allow easy access to the consumable parts (lamps, ...) For
installations in environments where the projector is subject to airborne contaminants such as that produced by smoke machines or
similar (these deposit a thin layer of greasy residue upon the projectors internal optics and imaging electronic surfaces, degrading
performance), then it is highly advisable and desirable to have this contamination removed prior to it reaching the projectors clean
air supply. Devices or structures to extract or shield contaminated air well away from the projector are a prerequisite, if this is not a
feasible solution then measures to relocate the projector to a clean air environment should be considered. Only use the manufactures
recommended cleaning kit which has been speci
fi
cally designed for cleaning optical parts, never use industrial strength cleaners on
a projectors optics as these will degrade optical coatings and damage sensitive optoelectronics .
Failure to take suitable precautions to protect the projector from the effects of persistent and prolonged air contaminants will culmi-
nate in extensive and irreversible ingrained optical damage. At this stage cleaning of the internal optical units will be non-effective
and impracticable. Damage of this nature is under no circumstances covered under the manufactures warranty and may deem the
