before the projector can be switched off. If you do not observe this, the life-
duration of the lamp will be dramatically shorter. In order to avoid this, a small
safety feature is built into the projector:

Proper Ventilation
Good ventilation is absolutely necessary for the operation of the projector and the
safety of the slides. Proper ventilation is obtained when the projector gets sufficient
fresh air through the ventilation openings on the side and in the back of the projec-
tor. Do not block these ventilation openings. In rooms with high temperatures,
or in projection cabinets, air-conditioning is advisable.

Operating at a Tilt Angle
The Navitar SUPERNOVA 10K has
adjustable legs to allow for projection at
various locations. The projector can be
set to an angle of up to 30°. To get a
larger angle, the projector legs can be
propped up on pieces of wood or other
sturdy material. You should observe that
the keystone correction is compensated
by moving the screen to a certain angle.

ATTENTION:
The 10K uses a metal halide lamp requiring a minimum burning time of at least 5 minutes. If you do not
observe the minimum burning time the life-duration of the lamp will be considerably shortened. A
general advice is to ignite the lamp only when necessary to guarantee a long life-duration for your lamp.
Frequent ignition shortens the life-duration of the lamp.
