Beforeinstalling the projector, read first the safety instructions in the safety manual (R5975258) delivered with

the projector.

Insurethat the projector is ins talled in an easy to evacuate room in case of a lamp explosion.

Carefulconsideration 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

Theprojector will not operate if ambient air temperature falls outside this range (0°C- 40°C or 32°F-104°F ).

Donot 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

Harmful Environmental Contamination Precaution

Aprojector must always be mounted in a manner which ensures the free flow of clean air into the projectors ventilation inlets as well

asfree flow at the v entilationo utlets. The installation must also allow easy access to the consumable parts ( dustfilters, lamps, ...)

Forinstallations in environments where the projector is subject to airborne contaminants such as that produced by smoke machines

orsimilar (these deposit a thin layer of greasy residue upon the projectors internal optics and imaging electronic surfaces, degrading

performance),then itis 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. Make sure that the

projectorn ever runs with dirty dustfilters as this will dramatically reduce the lifetime of the consumables. It is advised to clean the

dustfilterson a regular basis and to replace them at any lamp change. Barcoreserves itself the right to refuse warranty replacement

ofconsumables if they have been used in a projector with dirty airfilters. Onlyuse the manufactures recommended cleaning kit which

hasbeen specifically designed for cleaning optical parts, never use industrial strength cleaners on a projectors opticsas these will

degrade optical coatings and damage sensitive optoelectronics.

Failureto take suitable precautions to protect the projector fro m the effects of persistent and prolonged air contaminants will culmi-

natein exte nsive and irreversible ingrained optical damage. At this stage cleaning of the internal optical units will be non-effective

andimpracticable. Damageof this nature is under no circumsta nces covered under the manufactures warranty and may deem the

warranty null and void. In such a case the client shall be held solely responsible for all costs incurred during any repair. It is the

clientsresponsibility to ensure at all times that theprojector is protected from the harmful effects of hostile airborne particles in the

environmentof the projector. Themanufacture reserves the right to refuse warranty repair if a projector has been subject to wantful

neglect, abandon or improper use.

Theambient light level of any room is made up of direct or indirect sunlight and the light fixtures in the room. T he amount ofa mbient

lightwill determine how bright the image will appear. So,avoid direct light on the screen. Windows that face the screen should be
