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 indi-
cated.
Setting Up the Device
The  device  is  exclusively  for  indoor  use.  The  device
should be placed securely on a stable, flat surface. Posi-
tion all cables in such a way that no one will stumble on
them, thus avoiding possible injuries to persons or dam-
age to the device itself.
Do not plug in the device in moist rooms. Never touch
the  electrical  cable  or  the  electrical  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 table-
cloths or carpets and do not cover the ventilation slits.
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,
the surface becomes hot and a warning symbol appears
on the projection. 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 power supply if
liquids or foreign substances end up inside the device.
Have  the  product  inspected  by  a  technical  service
department.
Always handle the product with care. Avoid touching
the lens. Never place heavy or sharp objects on the pro-
jector 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 tech-
nical  service  location.  To  prevent  the  spread  of  fire,
open flames should be kept away from the device.
Under the following conditions, a layer of moisture 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:
1 Seal this device in a plastic bag before moving it to
another room, in order for it to adapt to room con-
ditions.
2 Wait one to two hours before you take the device
out of the plastic bag.
The device should not be used in a very dusty environ-
ment.  Dust  particles  and  other  foreign  objects  may
damage the product.
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.
Repairs
Do  not  make  any  repairs  to  the  device  yourself.
Improper maintenance can result in injuries or damage
to  the  device.  Have  your  device  repaired  only  by  an
authorised service centre.
Do  not  remove  the type label from  your  device;  this
would void the warranty.
Power Supply
Use only the enclosed power adapter (see chapter Appen-
dix / Technical Data). Check whether the electrical voltage
of the power supply matches the electrical voltage available
at the setup location. This equipment complies with the
voltage type specified on the product.
The product should be supplied by a power system com-
pliant with LPS requirements of 2.5 of UL60950-1.
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  center  to
replace the battery.
Do  not  try  to  replace  the  battery  yourself.  Incorrect
handling of the battery or using the wrong type of bat-
tery can cause damage to the device or cause injury.
Batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) must not
be exposed to flame or excessive heat including from
direct sunshine or the like.
Attention should be drawn to the environment aspects
of battery disposal.

DANGER!
Risk of explosion with incorrect type of 
batteries
Only replace the batteries with the same or
comparable batteries.
There is a risk of explosion if the incor-
rect battery type is used.
Switch  the  device  on  or  off  using  the  power  switch
before removing the power supply from the socket.
Turn off the device and remove it from the power sup-
ply  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.
DANGER!
Danger of Damage to the Eye by High 
Power LED
This  device  is  equipped  with  an  high  power
LED (Light Emitting Diode), which emits very
bright light. Do not stare directly into the pro-
jector lens to avoid eyes injury or irritations.
DANGER!
Danger of Hearing Damage
Do not use the device over a longer time at
high  volume—especially  when  using  head-
phones. This could lead to the risks of hearing
damage.
