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 projection 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 touching 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 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 conditions. 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 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. Incorrect handling of the battery or using the wrong type of battery can cause damage to the device or cause injury.
Switch the device off using the power switch before removing the power supply from the socket.
DANGER!

Risk of explosion with incorrect type of batteries!
Do not try to replace the battery yourself.
There is a risk of explosion if the incorrect 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.
DANGER!

High Power LED!
This device is equipped with a 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 damage.
DANGER!

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.
