SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Instructions
Before operating this projector, read this manual thoroughly in order to operate the
projector properly.
This projector offers many convenient features and functions. Operating the projector
properly enables you to manage those features and maintain it in good condition for a long
period.
Improper operation may result in not only reducing the product-life, but also malfunctions,
fire hazards, or other accidents.
If your projector is not operating correctly, read this manual again, check operations and
cable connections, and try the solutions shown in the Troubleshooting section at the end
of this booklet. If the problem still persists, contact the service center or the dealer where
you purchased the projector.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE
COVER (OR BACK). THERE ARE NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS
INSIDE EXCEPT LAMPS.  REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.
THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT DANGEROUS VOLTAGE CONSTITUT-
ING A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK IS PRESENT WITHIN THIS UNIT.
THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT THERE ARE IMPORTANT OPERATING
AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS UNIT IN THE OWNERS

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Precautions
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE
THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
zThis projector projects intense light from the projection lens. Do not stare directly into
the lens if possible, as doing so may result in eye damage. Be especially careful that
children do not stare directly into the beam.
zInstall the projector in an appropriate position.
Installing the projector in an inappropriate position may result in a fire hazard.
zAllow for appropriate space above beside and behind of the projector cabinet for
allowing air circulation and cooling of the projector. Minimum clearances must be
maintained. If the projector is to be built into a compartment or similarly space, the
minimum distances must be maintained. Do not cover the ventilation slot on the
projector. Heat build-up can reduce the service life of your projector, and can also be
dangerous.
zDo not put any flammable objects or spray cans near the projector, as the hot air
exhausted from the ventilation holes may result in an explosion.
zIf the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time, unplug it from the
power outlet.

READ AND KEEP THIS OWNERS MANUAL FOR LATER USE.
All the safety and operating instructions should be read before beginning to operate the
product.
Read all of the instructions given here and retain them for later use. Unplug this projector
from the AC power supply before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners on the
projector. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the projector.
 
For added protection of the projector during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended
or unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage
due to lightning and power surges.
Do not expose this unit to rain or use near water... for example, in a wet basement, near a
swimming pool, etc...
Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer as they may result in
hazards.
Do not place this projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The projector may fall,
causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the projector. Use only
with a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the projector. Wall or
shelf mounting should be carried out in accordance with the manufacturers directions, and
should use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturers.
An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care.
Sudden stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination to overturn.
Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided
for ventilation, to insure reliable operation of the equipment and to
protect it from overheating.
The openings should never be covered with cloth or other materials, and the bottom
opening should not be blocked by placing the projector on a bed, sofa, rug, or other
similar surface. This projector should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat
register.
This projector should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a book case unless
proper ventilation is provided.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Never push objects of any kind into this projector through cabinet slots as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind onto the projector.
Do not install the projector near the ventilation duct of air-conditioning equipment.
This projector should be operated using only the type of power source indicated on the
marking label.  If you are not sure of the type of power supplied, consult your authorized
dealer or local power company.
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in fire or electric shock.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord.  Do not locate this projector where the
cord may be damaged by people walking on it.
Do not attempt to service this projector yourself as opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltages or other hazards.  Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
Unplug this projector from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the projector.
c. If the projector has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the projector does not operate normally after following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered in the operating instructions as improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work
by a qualified technician to restore the projector to normal operating condition.
e. If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the projector exhibits a distinct change in performance-this indicates a need for
servicing.
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement
parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original
parts.  Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or injury.
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this projector, ask the service technician to
perform routine safety checks to determine that the projector is in safe operating condition.
