1 General safety information
Do not make any changes or settings that are
not described in this user manual. Physical
injury or damage to the device or loss of data
can result from improper handling. Take note of
all warning and safety notes indicated.
Setting up the device
The device is exclusively for indoor use. The
device should be placed securely on a stable,
flat surface. Position all cables in such a way
that no one will stumble on them, thus avoiding
possible injuries to persons or damage to the
device itself.
Do not plug in the device in moist rooms. Never
touch the cable of the main connection with
wet hands. The device must have sufficient
ventilation and may not be covered. Do not put
your device in closed cabinets or boxes.
Do not place the machine on soft surfaces such
as tablecloths or carpets and do not cover the
ventilation slits as otherwise the device could
overheat or catch fire.
Protect the device against direct sunlight, heat,
large temperature fluctuations and moisture.
Do not place the device in the vicinity of heaters
or air conditioners. Observe the information on
temperature and humidity in the technical data.
When the device is running for a long period of
time, a warning symbol will appear on the pro-
jection to warn before overheating. The device
switches automatically to stand-by mode when
it gets too hot. After the device has cooled
down, you can continue playback by pressing
any key.
Do not allow liquids to enter into the device.
Switch off the device and disconnect it from the
mains supply if liquids or foreign substances
end up inside the device. Have the unit
inspected by a technical service department.
Always handle the unit with care. Avoid touch-
ing the lens. Never place heavy or sharp objects
on the projector or the power cable.
If the projector gets too hot or emits smoke,
shut it down immediately and unplug the
power cable. Have your device examined by
trained professionals at a technical service
location. To prevent the spread of fire, open
flames should be kept away from the device.
Under the following conditions, a layer of mois-
ture can appear inside the device which can
lead to malfunctions:
• if the device is moved from a cold to a warm
area;
• after a cold room is heated;
• when this device is placed in a damp room.
Proceed as follows to avoid any moisture build-
up:
1Seal this device in a plastic bag before mov-
ing it to another room, in order for it to adapt
to room conditions.
2Wait one to two hours before you take the
device out of the plastic bag.
The device should not be used in a very dusty
environment. Dust particles and other foreign
objects may damage the unit.
Do not expose the device to extreme vibrations.
It may damage the internal components.
Do not allow children to handle the device
without supervision. The packing materials
should be kept out of the hands of children.
Power supply
Use only the enclosed power adapter (see
chapter Appendix / Technical Data). Check
whether the mains voltage of the power supply
matches the mains voltage available at the
setup location. This equipment complies with
the voltage type specified on the unit.
The capacity of the battery diminishes with
time. If the device functions only with the power
supply, the battery is defective. Contact an
authorised service centre to replace the battery.
Do not try to replace the battery yourself. Incor-
rect handling of the battery or using the wrong
type of battery can cause damage to the device
or cause injury.
General safety information 5
Switch the device off using the power switch
before removing the power supply from the
socket.
Risk of explosion with incorrect type of
batteries!
Do not try to replace the battery your-
self.
There is a risk of explosion if the incor-
rect battery type is used.
Turn off the device and remove it from the
power supply before cleaning the surface. Use a
soft, lint-free cloth. Never use liquid, gaseous or
easily flammable cleansers (sprays, abrasives,
polishes, alcohol). Do not allow any moisture to
reach the interior of the device.
High Power LED!
This device is equipped with an high
power LED (Light Emitting Diode),
which emits very bright light. Do not
look directly into the projector lens.
This could cause eye irritation or dam-
age.
Danger of hearing damage!
Do not use the device over a longer
time at high volume – especially when
using headphones. This could lead to
the risks of hearing damage.
Repairs
Do not repair the device yourself. Improper
maintenance can result in injuries or damage to
the device. Your device must be repaired by an
authorised service centre.
Do not remove the type label from your device;
this would void the warranty.
