- SAFETY
- WARNING
- Use only the cables and cords supplied with the projector or original replacement cables. Using other cables or cords may lead to malfunction and permanent damage of the unit.
- Always use 3-prong power cord to ensure proper grounding of the unit. Never use 2-prong power cords, as this is dangerous and could lead to electrical shock.
- Never open the unit. The projector contains no user serviceable parts. Refer all repairs to qualified personnel only.
- Make sure that no objects enter into the vents and openings of the set. Do not spill any liquids on the projector or into the vents or openings of the unit.
- Always remove lens cap before switching on the projector. If the lens cap is not removed, it may melt due to the high energy light emitted through the lens. Melting the lens cap may permanently damage the surface of the projection lens.
- Do not look into the projection lens when the projector is switched on. The strong light may permanently damage sight.
- Do not look into the laser beam when activated on the remote control. Laser light may permanently damage sight. Do not point laser beam on people.
- Only place the projector on a stable surface, or mount it securely using an approved ceiling-mount.
- Do not drop the projector.
- Always operate the projector horizontally, within the range of the adjustable rear feet. Operating the unit in other positions may reduce lamp life significantly, and may lead to overheating, resulting in malfunctioning.
- Always allow ample airflow through the projector. Never block any of the air vents. Never cover the unit in any way while runnin...
- CAUTION! Hot air is exhausted from the side vent. Do not place objects that are sensitive to heat nearer than 50 cm/20" to the exhaust vent.
- The projector is designed for indoor use only. Never operate the unit outdoors.
- Do not operate the projector outside its temperature and humidity specifications, as this may result in overheating and malfunctioning.

- Connect the power cord.
- SETUP COMPUTER
- Before setting-up, switch off all equipment.
- The projector may be connected to up to three computer sources simultaneously, using the VGA and DVI inputs.
- The VGA interface is analog and may cause some noise in the projected image, depending on the signal quality from the VGA graphics card in the computer.
- The DVI (Digital Visual Interface) interface is all-digital and will yield a projected image with very low noise.
- Connect the USB cable to allow for remote mouse control.
- Connect the power cord.
- Connect the RS232 interface to allow for individual or global control of multiple units in a daisy chain configuration.
