•   Be careful with cables.

 

Make certain cables are routed so that people will 
not be impeded or tripped up. Keep all cables away 
from children. Install the unit as close to the wall socket 
as possible. Avoid stepping on power cables, make 
certain  they  do  not  become  tangled,  and  never 
jerk or tug them; do not expose them to sources of 
heat, and make sure they do not become knotted 
or crimped. If the power cables become damaged, 
stop using the system and request the assistance of 
an authorised technician.

•   Disconnect the unit from the mains power supply in the 

event of electrical storms and when not in use.

 

To prevent damage from lightning strikes in the vicinity, 
disconnect the unit during storms or when the system 
is going to be left unused for a long time. 

•   Avoid contact with liquids and exposure to damp. 

 

Do not use the unit near to water (sinks, tubs, etc.); do 
not place objects containing liquids on or near to the 
unit and do not expose it to rain, humidity, drops of 
water or sprays; do not use water or liquid detergent 
to clean it.

•   Do not allow the unit to overheat.

 

To prevent this, allow a free space of at least 40 cm at 
the back of the projector. Do not obstruct the ventila-
tion slots. Do not place the unit near to heat sources 
such as heaters, radiators or other devices (including 
amplifiers) that generate heat.  Do not place the unit 
in any area where there is insufficient space (shelving 
units, bookshelves, etc.) and in general avoid placing 
it in poorly ventilated areas as this may prevent suf-
ficient cooling.

•   Never look directly at the projection lamp.  
 

Never  look  directly  at  the  lamp  when  it  is  on  as  the 
intense light may damage your eyes. Take particular 
care that children cannot do so.

•   Position the unit on a stable surface.

 

Place  the  projector  on  a  stable  surface  or  use  the 
provided ceiling mounting bracket.

 

Never place the projector on its side or rear, on the 
lens or top panel. 

•   Do not insert objects through the openings in the unit.

 

Make  sure  that  no  objects  are  inserted  inside  the 
units.  If  this  should  occur,  disconnect  the  unit  from 
the power supply immediately and call an authorised 
technician.

•   Switch Off.
 

Disconnect the mains power supply when the projec-
tor is not in use. This will considerably reduce power 
consumption and also lengthen the service life of the 
unit’s electrical circuitry.

•   Read this manual carefully and keep it in a safe 

place for future consultation.

 

This manual contains important information on how 

to  install  and  use  this  equipment  correctly.  Before 

using  the  equipment,  read  the  safety  regulations 

and instructions carefully. Keep the manual for future 

consultation.

•   Do not touch internal parts of the units.

 

Inside  the  housing  there  are  electrical  parts  carrying 

dangerously high voltages and parts operating at high 

temperature. Never open the housing. Any servicing and 

repair work must be performed by an authorised Service 

Centre. Opening the housing voids the warranty. 

•   Disconnecting the appliance from the power supply.

 

The device which disconnects the unit from the mains 

is the power plug. Ensure that the power cable plugs 

and  the  electrical  mains  socket  outlets  are  eas-

ily accessible during installation operations. Pull the 

plug, not the cable, to disconnect the unit from the 

mains.

•   Use only the specified power supply.

 

Connect the units to a mains electrical supply with 
rated voltage of between 110-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz and 
equipped with a protective earth connection. If you 
are not sure of your domestic mains rating, contact 
an  electrician.  Take  care  to  avoid  overloading  the 
power socket and any extension leads.

•   Connection of the units to the mains power supply.
 

Connect the unit as shown in Fig. 2.

•   Changing the fuses.  Before changing the fuse 

disconnect the unit from the mains power supply.

 

The  fuse  compartment  is  next  to  the  power  supply 
connector (Fig. 3). Remove the fuse holder (2) with a 
flat head screwdriver and replace the fuse (3). Fit the 
replacement fuse (4). Use only T 5A H fuses.
