Refer to trained, authorised personnel for technical assistance. This symbol indicates the possible electric shock hazard associated with uninsulated live components in the interior of the unit. This symbol indicates the presence of important instructions regarding use and maintenance of the product. LAMP WARNING If the lamp burst, accompanied by a big bursting noise, allow a proper ventilation before return to the area . Please refer to your nearest dealer for the substituion of the lamp. Prior to switching on the projector please read each chapter of this manual carefully as this manual provides basic instructions for using the projector.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is used in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determinated by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encuraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. · For customers in Canada This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. · For customers in the United Kingdom ATTENTION: This apparatus must be earthed The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green-and-Yellow: Earth Blue: Neutral Brown: Live As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter E or by the safety earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow. The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. 4 Please follow carefully the warnings listed below, to ensure safe and long term performance of your projector. · Connect the projector to a power supply with a nominal voltage within the following values: 100-240 Vac, 50/60 Hz, earthed (Fig. 3). mettre compro cende ne pas que d'in type pour res TION: tre les de meme ATTEN tion con fusible e tec inst la pro cer par un eristiqu tion aga act rempla ms car protec me tinued et de : for con UTION, replace e CA fire typ risk of same with only ng fuse. and rati · Do not use the projector when the room temperature is above 35°C (95°F). · Do not obstruct the cooling air inlets on the top cover, or the air outlets underneath the projector. · Do not switch on the projector if it is standing on soft surfaces such as cushions, pillows, blankets, mattresses and carpets: the air cooling outlets underneath could become obstructed. · Do not switch-on the projector if it is standing on surfaces sensitive to heat, as this may result in damage caused by the hot air outlets underneath. Should this be unavoidable take extra precaution of protecting the surfaces with a layer of heat resistant material. 3 GI 5 DI T INPU TAL O AUDI OUT 100-240 Vac 50/60 Hz Fig. 3 · The mains plug is the disconnect device. Take care, when installing, that the mains plug and socket outlet are easily accessible. Never pull on the cable to take it out of the socket. If the system is unlikely to be used for a number of days, disconnect the power cable and other apparatus connected to it. · To save energy, switch off the projector by using the power switch at the rear; when in stand-by (red light on) the projector continues to draw a minimal amount of power. · Only replace the safety fuse (on the power socket at the rear of projector) with a fuse identical in type and characteristics (T 3.15A H) (Fig. 4). ettre mprom e pas co d'incend ue pe ur ne N: po re les resq meme ty NTIO nt de ATTE ection co fusible nst un istique ot la pr acer par cter n agai ra ectio remplmems ca d prot de ntinue et : for co TION CAU type same with only · Intense Light Source! Do not stare directly into the projection lens as possible eye damage could result. Be especially careful that children do not stare directly into the beam. · Do not open the projector's cover; no user serviceable parts are inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Opening the projector's cover will invalidate warranty. · Take care not to shake the projector whilst carrying it by the handle. · Always position the projector away from direct heat sources. · Do not touch the surface of the projection lens. · The projector must be positioned on a stable, suitable platform or be installed using a bracket for fixed ceiling or wall installation. Do not rest the projector on the side panels or on the rear panel when in operation. · Take care to position cables safely, especially in dark places, in order to avoid a trip hazard. · For installations using a ceiling or wall-mounted bracket, carefully follow the installation and safety instructions provided with the bracket's literature. 4 250 V T 3.15A H IO AUD OUT 1 3 2 Fig. 4 · Do not switch on your projector when flammable liquids or fumes are present.

To unpack the projector safely and easily please follow steps 1 to 4, as drawing (Fig. 5). It is recommended that the carton and packaging is retained for future use and in the unlikely event that your projector needs to be returned for repair. 6 4 INSTALLATION Position the projector on a stable, suitable platform or utilise the optional bracket for a fixed ceiling or wall installation. ZO O M CAUTION: In the case of ceiling or wall mounting using a suspension bracket, follow the instructions carefully and comply with the safety standards you will find in the box together with the bracket. If you use a bracket different to the one supplied by SIM2 Multimedia, you must make sure that the projector is at least 65 mm (2-9/16 inch) from the ceiling and that the bracket is not obstructing the air vents on the lid and on the bottom of the projector. Adjust the feet underneath to obtain a level position, lining up the base of the projected image to the base of the projection screen (Fig. 6).

See "Appendix C": Projection distances" for more information. Use the motorised lens zoom to adjust the image size and the motorised lens focus to achieve maximum clarity. With optimum focus you should be able to clearly see each single pixel when within close proximity to the screen (Fig. 7). 7 Fig. 8 In the event you are unable to centre the image within the screen area, tilt the projector until the image is correctly positioned. Any keystone error can be removed by the Keystone adjustment in the Set up menu. The keystone adjustment is not available for model HT280E with 1080i input signal (Fig.9).
