1.2 Important safety instructions

To prevent the risk of electrical shock
• This product should be operated from a mono phase AC power source. Ensure that the mains voltage and
capacity matches the projectors electrical ratings. If you are unable to install the AC requirements, contact
your electrician. Do not defeat the purpose of grounding.
• This apparatus must be grounded (earthed) via the supplied 3 conductor AC power cable. If none of the
supplied power cables are the correct one, consult your dealer.
• If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug.
• 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.
• Ensure that the main power cord complies with the national regulations at the site where the equipment is
used.
• Do not use unauthorized replacements
• Do not operate the projector with a damaged cord. Replace the cord.
Do not operate the projector if the projector has been dropped or damaged - until it has been examined
and approved for operation by a qualified service technician.
• Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or contact hot surfaces.
• If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the projector should
be used. A cord rated for less amperage than the projector may overheat.
• 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.
• Make sure that no objects enter into the vents and openings of the set.
• Do not expose this projector to rain or moisture.
• The projector is designed for indoor use only. Never operate the unit outdoors.
• Do not immerse or expose this projector in water or other liquids.
• Do not spill liquid of any kind on this projector.
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the set and have it checked by qualified
service personnel before resuming operations.
• Do not disassemble this projector, always take it to an authorized trained service person when service or
repair work is required.
• Do not use an accessory attachment which is not recommended by the manufacturer.
• 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 device
due to lightning and AC power-line surges.
To prevent personal injury
• To prevent injury and physical damage, always read this manual and all labels on the system before
connecting to the wall outlet or adjusting the projector.
• To prevent injury, take note of the weight of the projector.
• To prevent injury, ensure that the lens and all covers are correctly installed. See installation procedures.
• High brightness warning: The projector light source must be switched off when no projection lens is
installed.
• It is hazardous to operate without lens or shield. Always switch the output light off when replacing a lens.
• Lenses or shields shall be changed if they has become visibly damaged to such extent that their
effectiveness is impaired. For example by cracks or deep scratches.
• Warning: high intensity light beam. NEVER look into the lens! High luminance could result in damage to the
eye.
• When installing an interchangeable lens with a throw ratio that makes the projector become an RG3 unit,
(See chapter "Approved lenses" in the User manual), refer to chapter "High Brightness Precautions", for
information regarding precautions.
• Refer to the user manual for the lens list and hazard distance before operation. Such combination of
projector and lens are intended for professional use only, and are not intended for consumer use.
• FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY means installation can only be carried out by Barco AUTHORIZED
PERSONNEL familiar with potential hazards associated with high intensity light beams.
• Warning: High brightness projector: This projector embeds high brightness (radiance) lasers; this laser
light is processed through the projectors optical path. Native laser light is not accessible by the end user in
any use case. The light exiting the projection lens has been diffused within the optical path, representing a
