IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Cleaning

Disconnect the power cable (main’s lead) from the unit.

Clean the cabinet of the unit periodically with a damp cloth. If heavily soiled, use a mild detergent. Never use strong detergents or solvents such as alcohol or thinner.

Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful not to scratch or mar the lens.

Clean the ventilation slots and speaker grills on the unit periodically using a vacuum cleaner. If accumulated dust blocks the ventilation slots, the unit will overheat, which may cause the unit to malfunction.

Use a soft brush attachment when using the vacuum cleaner. Do not use a hard attachment, such as a crevice tool, to prevent the damage to the unit.

Lamp Replacement

Be sure to replace the lamp when the Status indicator comes on. If you continue to use the lamp after 2000 hours of usage, the lamp will turn off.

Fire and Shock Precautions

Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the buildup of heat inside the unit. Allow at least 10 cm (3 inches) of space between the unit and walls.

Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into the unit. Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that fell into the unit. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into the unit. If something should fall into the unit, immediately disconnect the power cable from the unit and have the object removed by a qualified 3M™ service person.

Do not place any liquids on top of the unit.

Carrying around

When carrying the unit around, please use the storage case that comes with it and, to protect the lens from scratches, always shut the Iris Lens Cover. Also, do not subject the unit to strong mechanical shock.

CAUTION – HOT!

The area around the exhaust vents is hot during and immediately after image projection. To avoid burns, keep your hands away from this area.

Wait until the exhaust vents area cools off before touching it.

Do not look into the lens while the unit is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.
