1-2 5976284 BARCOGRAPHICS 808s 150501
Do not attempt to service this projector yourself, as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage potential and
risk of electric shock! Refer all projector service to a qualified
BARCO service center.
Call for service in the following conditions :
When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
If liquid has been spilled into the projector.
If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
If the product does not operate normally when the operating
instructions are followed. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions since improper adjustment of
the other controls may result in damage and will often require
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to
normal operation.
If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating
a need for service.
Replacement parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure
the service technician has used original BARCO replacement parts or
authorized replacement parts which have the same characteristics as
the BARCO original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in
degraded performance and reliability, fire, electric shock or other
hazards. Unauthorized substitutions may void warranty.
Safety check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this
projector, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the projector is in proper operating condition.
On cleaning
Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use
liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
To keep the cabinet looking brand-new, periodically clean it with a soft
cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened
with mild detergent solution. Never use strong solvents, such as
thinner or benzine, or abrasive cleaners, since these will damage the
cabinet.
To ensure the highest optical performance and resolution, the projec-
tion lenses are specially treated with an anti-reflective coating,
therefore : avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens, use
a soft dry cloth. Do not use a damp cloth, detergent solution, or
thinner.
On repacking
Keep the original shipping carton and packing material; they will come
in handy if you ever have to ship your projector. For maximum
protection, repack your set as it was originally packed at the factory.
On illumination
In order to obtain the best quality for the projected image, it is essential
that the ambient light which is allowed to fall on the screen be kept to
an absolute minimum.
When installing the projector and screen, care must be taken to avoid
exposure to ambient light directly on the screen. Avoid adverse
illumination on the screen from direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting
fixtures.
The use of controlled ambient lighting, such as incandescent spot
light or a dimmer, is recommended for proper room illumination.
Where possible, care should also be taken to ensure that the floors
and walls of the room in which the projector is to be installed are non-
reflecting, dark surfaces. Brighter surfaces will tend to reflect and
diffuse the ambient light and hence reduce the contrast of the
projected image on the screen.

checked by qualified service personnel before resuming op-
erations.
