1. Safety Instructions
On Installation
• Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious damage to it.
• Do not use this equipment near water.
• Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom 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 projector should not be placed in a built-in installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
• Do not block the projector cooling fans or free air movement under and around the projector. Loose papers or other objects
may not be nearer to the projector than 4" on any side.
On Servicing
Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage potentials and
risk of electric shock!
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
• 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.
• If the product does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions since improper adjustment of the other controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician 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.
• Replacement parts: When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used original BARCO replace-
ment parts or authorized replacement parts which have the same characteristics as the BARCO original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in degraded performance and reliability, fire, electric shock or other hazards. Unauthorized substitu-
tions may void warranty.
• Safety check: Upon completion of any service or repairs to this projector, ask the service technician to perform safety checks
to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.
On Cleaning
Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for
cleaning. To keep the cabinet looking brand-new, periodically clean it with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth
lightly dampened with mild detergent solution. Never use strong solvents, such as thinner or benzine, or abrasive cleaners, since
these will damage the cabinet. To ensure the highest optical performance and resolution, the projection lenses are specially treated
with an anti-reflective 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.
On Repacking
Save the original shipping carton and packing material; they will come in handy if you ever have to ship your equipment. For maxi-
mum protection, repack your set as it was originally packed at the factory.
On Illumination
In order to obtain the best quality for the projected image, it is essential that the ambient light which is allowed to fall on the screen be
kept to an absolute minimum. When installing the projector and screen, care must be taken to avoid exposure to ambient light directly
on the screen. Avoid adverse illumination on the screen from direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting fixtures. The use of controlled
ambient lighting, such as incandescent spot light or a dimmer, is recommended for proper room illumination. Where possible, care
should also be taken to ensure that the floors and walls of the room in which the projector is to be installed are non-reflecting, dark
surfaces. Brighter surfaces will tend to reflect and diffuse the ambient light and hence reduce the contrast of the projected image on
the screen.
