Mercury Vapor Warnings
: Keep the following warnings in mind when using the projector. The lamp used in the projector
contains mercury. In case of a lamp rupture, explosion there will be a mercury vapor emission. In order to minimize the potential
risk of inhaling mercury vapors:
-
Ensure the projector is installed only in ventilated rooms.
-
Replace the lamp module before the end of its operational life.
-
Promptly ventilate the room after a lamp rupture, explosion has occurred, evacuate the room (particularly in case of a preg-
nant woman).
-
Seek medical attention if unusual health conditions occur after a lamp rupture, explosion, such as headache, fatigue, short-
ness of breath, chest-tightening coughing or nausea.
•
Caution: High pressure lamp may explode if improperly handled. Refer servicing to quali
fi
ed service personnel. The customer
should never attempt to disassemble the lamp casing or to dispose of the lamp casing other than by returning it to Barco.
•
Do not place this projector on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the projector. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manufacturer’s
instructions and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
•
An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force and uneven surfaces may cause
the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
•
Do not place the projector on uneven surface. Place the projector on a leveled and stable surface only. Please do not place
the projector on unstable surfaces. The product may fall, causing serious damage to it and possible injury to the user.
•
Warning: high intensity light beam. Do not look into the lens when it is operating. It may hurt your eyes. Never let children look
into the lens when it is on.
•
Do not touch the exhaust vents and bottom plate, which become hot. Do not touch them or put other equipment in front of the
exhaust vents. The exhaust vents and bottom plate, when heated, may cause injury or damage to other equipment. Also, do
not set the projector on the desk which is easily affected by heat.
•
Do not look into the exhaust vents when projector is operating. Heat, dust, etc. may blow out of them and hurt your eyes.
•
Do not insert your
fi
ngers in the space between the lens and the cabinet. The lens may shift causing injury or damage to the
projector.
•
Exposure to UV radiation
: Some medications are known to make individuals extra sensitive to UV radiation. The American
Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) recommends occupational UV exposure for an-8hour day to be
less than 0.1 microwatts per square centimeters of effective UV radiation. An evaluation of the workplace is advised to assure
employees are not exposed to cumulative radiation levels exceeding these government guidelines.
•
Warning: Protection from ultraviolet radiation
: Do not look directly in the light beam. The lamp contained in this product is
an intense source of light and heat. One component of the light emitted from this lamp is ultraviolet light. Potential eye and skin
hazards are present when the lamp is energized due to ultraviolet radiation. Avoid unnecessary exposure. Protect yourself and
your employees by making them aware of the hazards and how to protect themselves. Protecting the skin can be accomplished
by wearing tightly woven garments and gloves. Protecting the eyes from UV can be accomplished by wearing safety glasses
that are designed to provide UV protection. In addition to the UV, the visible light from the lamp is intense and should also be
considered when choosing protective eye wear.
To prevent
fi
re hazard
•
Do not place
fl
ammable or combustible materials near the projector!
•
Do not face the projector lens to the sun. It can lead to
fi
re.
•
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation, ensuring reliable operation of the projector and to protect it from
overheating. Do not block these openings or allow them to be blocked by placing the projector on a bed, sofa, , carpet, rug, or
bookcase. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
•
Use correct voltage. If you use incorrect voltage, it can lead to
fi
re.
•
Do not connect multiple electrical appliances to a single wall outlet. It can lead to
fi
re.
•
Do not extend the power cord. It can lead to
fi
re.
•
Do not use
fl
ammable solvents (benzene, thinner, etc.) and
fl
ammable aerosols near the projector. Flammable substances
may ignite causing
fi
re or breakdown because the temperature inside the projector rises very high while the lamp is illuminating.
•
Be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet if the projector will not be used for a long period of time. Otherwise, it
may cause
fi
re. Important safeguards (continued)
•
Do not use the projector in the following locations and manners, which may cause
fi
re or electric shock.
-
In a dusty or humid place.
-
In a sideways position, or with the lens facing down.
-
Near a heater.
-
In an oily, smoky, or damp place such as a kitchen.
-
In direct sunlight.
-
Where the temperature rises high, such as in a closed cabinet.
-
Where the temperature is lower than +41ºF (or +5ºC) or higher than +104ºF (or +40ºC).
•
Do not cover the lens with the lens cap while the lamp is on.
