Précautions de sécurité

AVERTISSEMENT

Si l'on remarque une émission de fumée, d'odeurs sus- pectes ou de bruits provenant du projecteur, débrancher

la fiche du cordon d'alimentation de la prise de courant.

Ne pas continuer d'utiliser le projecteur dans ces cas-là, autrement cela peut entraîner un incendie ou des chocs

électriques.

Après s'être assuré que de la fumée ne se dégage plus, s'adresser à un centre technique agréé et de-mander que les réparations nécessaires soient faites.

Le fait de réparer le projecteur soi-même est très dangereux, et ne doit jamais être fait.

Ne pas installer ce projecteur dans un endroit qui n'est pas assez résistant pour supporter le poids du projecteur.

Si l'emplacement d'installation n'est pas assez résis-tant, le projecteur risque de tomber et causer de gra-ves blessures et (ou) des dommages.

Demander à un technicien qualifié d'installer le projecteur

par exemple s'il est installé au plafond.

Si l'installation n'est pas faite correctement, cela peut entraîner des blessures ou des chocs électriques.

Ne pas utiliser un support de montage au plafond qui n'est pas agréé.

Si de l'eau ou des objets étrangers pénètrent dans le pro- jecteur, si le projecteur tombe, ou si le boîtier est endommagé, débrancher immédiatement la fiche du cordon

d'alimentation de la prise de courant.

Si l'on continue d'utiliser le projecteur dans cette condition, cela peut entraîner un incendie ou des chocs électriques.

S'adresser à un centre technique agréé pour que les réparations nécessaires puissent être faites.

La prise doit être montée à proximité de l'appareil et doit

être facilement accessible.

Débranchez immédiatement le cordon d'alimentation de la prise si un problème survient.

Ne pas surcharger la prise de courant.

Si l'alimentation est surchargée (par exemple, par l'utilisation de trop d'adaptateurs), cela risque de faire surchauffer le projecteur et peut entraîner un incendie.

Ne jamais entreprendre toute modification quelcon-que ou démontage du projecteur.

Des hautes tensions qui peuvent causer de graves blessures sont présentes à l'intérieur du projecteur.

Pour toute inspection, réglage ou réparation, s'adresser à un centre technique agréé.

Nettoyer la fiche du cordon d'alimentation régulièrement

Si la fiche est endommagée ou la plaque de la prise desserrée, celles-ci ne devraient pas être utilisées.

Ne pas placer le projecteur sur des surfaces instables.

Si le projecteur est placé sur une surface qui est inclinée ou instable, il risque de tomber ou de se renverser et cela peut causer des blessures ou des dommages.

Ne pas placer le projecteur dans l'eau ou ne pas le aisser se mouiller.

Sinon cela peut causer un incendie ou des chocs électriques.

Faire attention à ne pas endommager le cordon

d'alimentation.

Ne pas endommager le cordon d'alimentation, ne pas le modifier, ne pas le placer sous des objets lourds, ne pas le chauffer, ne pas le placer près d'objets chauffants, ne pas le tordre, ne pas le plier ou le tirer excessivement et ne pas le rouler en boule.

Si le cordon d'alimentation est endommagé, cela peut entraîner un incendie et des chocs électriques.

Si le cordon d'alimentation est endommagé, le faire réparer par un centre technique agréé.

Ne pas placer le projecteur sur des matériaux comme du tapis ou du tissu éponge.

Cela peut provoquer une surchauffe du projecteur, pouvant entraîner des brûlures, un incendie ou endommager le projecteur.

Ne pas placer des récipients de liquide sur le projecteur.

Si de l'eau se renverse sur le projecteur ou pénètre dans celui-ci, il y aura risque d'incendie ou d'électrocution.

Si de l'eau entre à l'intérieur du projecteur, entrer en contact avec un centre technique agréé.

Ne pas mettre d'objets étrangers dans le projecteur.

Ne pas insérer d'objets métalliques ou inflammables dans les orifices de ventilation ou les faire tomber sur le projecteur, car cela peut causer un incendie ou des chocs électriques.

Veiller à ce que les bornes + et – des piles n'entrent pas en contact avec des objets métalliques tels que colliers ou

épingles à cheveux.

Sinon, les piles risquent de fuir, de surchauffer, d'exploser ou de prendre feu.

Ranger les piles dans un sac en plastique, et ne pas les ranger à proximité d'objets métalliques.

F RANÇAIS - 65


Ne jamais entrer en contact direct avec le liquide des piles.

Le liquide risquerait en effet de causer de sérieuses blessures cutanées. Rincer immédiatement à l'eau courante toute trace du liquide des piles puis consulter au plus vite un médecin.

Toute pénétration du liquide dans l'oeil risque de même de causer la cécité ou d'autres lésions graves. Eviter dans ce cas à tout prix de vous frotter les yeux, et rincez-les immédiatement à l'eau courante avant de consulter au plus vite un médecin.

Pendant un orage, ne pas toucher le projecteur ou le câble.

Il y a risque d'électrocution.

Ne pas utiliser l'appareil dans un bain ou une douche.

Il y a risque d'incendie ou d'électrocution.

Veillez à ce que le faisceau lumineux n'éclaire pas directe- ment votre peau pendant que vous utilisez le projecteur.

Une lumière intense est émise par l'objectif du projecteur.

Si vous vous placez dans ce faisceau lumineux, celui-ci risquera de vous blesser ou de vous abîmer la peau.

Ne pas regarder directement dans l'objectif pendant que le projecteur fonctionne.

Une lumière intense est émise par l'objectif du projecteur.

Si l'on regarde directement dans cette lumière, elle risque de causer des blessures et de graves lésions aux yeux.

Veiller particulièrement à ce que les enfants ne regardent pas dans l'objectif. En outre, éteindre le projecteur si on le laisse sans surveillance.

MISES EN GARDE

Ne pas obstruer les orifices d'entrée et de sortie d'air.

Cela risque de faire surchauffer le projecteur, et causer un incendie ou endommager le projecteur.

Ne pas installer le projecteur dans des endroits étroits, mal ventilés tels que des placards ou des étagères.

Ne pas placer le projecteur sur des tissus ou du papier, ces matériaux peuvent être aspirés dans l'orifice d'entrée d'air.

Ne pas installer le projecteur dans des endroits humides ou poussiéreux ou dans des endroits où le projecteur peut entrer en contact avec des fumées grasses ou de la vapeur.

L'utilisation du projecteur dans de telles conditions peut causer un incendie, des chocs électriques ou une détérioration du boîtier en plastique. Une détérioration du plastique risquerait en effet d'entraîner une chute du projecteur en cas d'installation au plafond.

Ne jamais utiliser le projecteur dans un environnement à hautes température, par exemple à proximité d'un radiateur ou directement soumis aux rayons du soleil.

Le non-respect de cette mise en garde riquerait de causer un incendie, un dyfonctionnement ou une détérioration du plastique.

Ne pas utiliser le projecteur à l'air libre.

Ce projecteur a été conçu pour une utilisation en intérieurs.

Pour débrancher le cordon d'alimentation, tenir la fiche et non pas le cordon.

Si le cordon d'alimentation est tiré, le cordon sera endommagé et cela peut causer un incendie, des courts-circuits ou des chocs électriques sérieux.

Ne pas placer les mains ou autres objets près de l'orifice

de sortie d'air.

De l'air chaud sort par l'orifice de sortie d'air. Ne pas placer les mains, le visage ou d'autres objets qui ne peuvent résister à la chaleur près de cette sortie d'air [laisser un espace d'au moins 50 cm], sinon des brûlures ou des dommages risqueraient de s'ensuivre.

Le remplacement de la lampe ne doit être effectué que par un technicien qualifié.

La lampe a une pression interne élevée. Si elle est manipulée incorrectement, une explosion peut s'ensuivre.

La lampe peut être facilement endommagée si elle est heurtée contre des objets durs ou si on la laisse tomber et des blessures et des mauvais fonctionnements peuvent s'ensuivre.

Retirer rapidement les piles de la télécommande.

Si vous laissez des pile usagées dans la télécommande pendant une longue période, cela risque de provoquer des fuites, une hausse anormale de la température interne ou une explosion.

Si le projecteur ne doit pas être utilisé pendant une longue durée débrancher la fiche électrique de la prise de courant et ôter les piles de la télécommande.

Si de la poussière s'accumule sur la fiche du cordon d'alimentation, l'humidité ainsi créée risquera d'endommager l'isolation, ce qui peut provoquer un incendie.

Si les piles restent dans la télécommande, il existe un risque de détérioration par insulation et de fuite électrique ou d'explosion pouvant causer un incendie.

Ne pas peser de tout son poids sur ce projecteur.

On risque de tomber ou de casser l'appareil, ce qui peut causer des blessures.

Veiller tout particulièrement à ce que les enfants ne se tiennent pas debout ou ne s'asseyent pas sur le projecteur.

Débrancher la fiche du cordon d'alimentation de la prise

de courant comme mesure de sécurité avant d'effectuer tout nettoyage.

Sinon cela peut causer des chocs électriques.

Si la lampe s'est cassée, ventiler immédiatement la pièce.

Ne pas toucher ni approcher le visage des morceaux cassés.

Le non respect de cette consigne peut entraîner l'absorption du gaz par l'utilisateur. Ce gaz se dégage lorsque la lampe est cassée et il contient presque autant de mercure qu'une lampe fluorescente, de plus les morceaux cassés peuvent provoquer des blessures.

Si vous pensez avoir inhalé du gaz ou que du gaz a pénétré dans votre bouche ou dans vos yeux, contactez un médecin immédiatement.

S'adresser au revendeur pour le remplacement de la lampe et l'inspection de l'intérieur du projecteur.

Demander à un centre technique agréé de nettoyer

l'intérieur du projecteur au moins une fois par an.
