Cleaning the interior of the Signage Unit
Allowing dust to build up inside the Signage Unit by not cleaning it for long periods creates the risk of fire and accident, and can cause
loss of projection luminosity. Periodically clean the interior of the Signage Unit.
Laser Precautions
The projector built into the Signage Unit is a Class 1 laser device that conforms to IEC 60825-1.
The Signage Unit has a built-in laser module. Disassembly or modification is very dangerous and should never be attempted.
Operating Precautions
Do not use or store the Signage Unit in any one of the locations described below. Such locations create the risk of malfunction of and
damage to the Signage Unit.
Locations exposed to direct sunlight•
Outdoors or locations where there are large amounts of dust•
Locations subjected to large amounts of oil smoke or other smoke•
Locations subjected to vibration•
Near water (fountains, etc.) or other locations where there is risk of wetting•
Near heating equipment or other sources of high temperatures•
Near shop entrances or stairways•
Note the precautions below when selecting a location for the Signage Unit.
Avoid locations where the Signage Unit could be tripped over or otherwise interfere with foot traffic.•
When routing cables, take care to select locations where there is no chance of their being tripped over.•
Take care to locate the Signage Unit and screen where individuals (especially children) cannot touch them or hang from them.•
Do not look directly into the light emitted from the Signage Unit.
Should you ever notice a component has dropped out of the Signage Unit, immediately stop using it and contact your original dealer or
authorized CASIO service center.
Should you ever notice breaks or cracks in the screen, immediately stop using it and contact your original dealer or authorized CASIO
service center.
Use under high ambient temperature or in environments subjected to large amounts of dust, oil smoke, tobacco smoke, or other types
of smoke can shorten the replacement cycles and require more frequent replacement of the optical engine and other components. Note
that you are charged for such replacement. For details about replacement cycles and fees, contact an authorized CASIO service center.
Ensure that the remote control signal receiver is not exposed fluorescent light, sunlight, or other strong light. Strong light can cause
malfunction.
When projecting, adjust the position of the screen so that width of black space surrounding the projected image in the screen becomes
even.
When cleaning the unit, always use a soft and dry cloth. Do not use a wet cloth or solvent.

Be sure to keep all surrounding objects at least 30cm (11.8
inches) from the Signage Unit. Particular care is required to
keep objects away from the intake and exhaust vents on either
side of the Signage Unit.
Airflow from air conditioning equipment redirecting heat being
exhausted from the area around the Signage Unit lens can
cause heat ripples to appear in the projected image. If this
happens, adjust the airflow of the air conditioning equipment
or move the Signage Unit.
Do not use or store the Signage Unit in any one of the
locations described below.
On or near any device that generates heat (household
–
appliances, computers, etc.)
On any surface that is not firm and stable (on top of soft
–
material, etc.)
