* Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this
product where persons will walk on the cord.
* To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord
itself.
* If an extension cord is used with this product, make sure that the total
of the ampere ratings on the products plugged into the extension
cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating. Also make
sure that the total of all products plugged into the wall outlet does
not exceed 15 amperes.
* Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots
as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts
that could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
* Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. Should any liquid or solid
object fall into the cabinet, unplug the set and have it checked by
qualified service personnel before resuming operations.
* Lightning - For added protection for this video product during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent
damage to the projector due to lightning and AC power-line surges.
* To reduce the lamp heat of the projector, switch the projector first
to stand-by and let the projector lamp cool down for at least 15
minutes. Then the projector may be switched off with the power
switch.
On Installation
* Do not place this projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The
projector may fall, causing serious damage to it.
* Do not use this projector near water.
* Use only the power cord supplied with your projector. While
appearing to be similar, other power cords have not been safety
tested at the factory and may not be used to power the projector. For
a replacement power cord, contact your dealer.
* Slots and openings in the cabinet and the sides are provided for
ventilation; to ensure reliable operation of the projector 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 prod-
uct should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.
This 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 projector yourself, as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage potential and
risk of electric shock! Refer all projector service to a qualified BARCO
service center.
Call for service in the following conditions :
- When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
- If liquid has been spilled into the projector.
- 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 in-
structions 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 replacement 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 substitutions 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 projector is in proper operating condition.
The projector uses a 1500 W metal halide projection lamp. Replacing
the projection lamp with any other projection lamp can cause over-
heating or unacceptable image quality. Use only the projection lamps
specified by BARCO, or an authorized BARCO dealer or service
center.
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 projec-
tion 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.
Follow the lens cleaning procedure on Appendix B in the Owners
Manual.
On Repacking
Save the original shipping carton and packing material; they will come
in handy if you ever have to ship your projector. For maximum
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.
