hazard, or other accidents.
Federal Communications Commission Notice
This  equipment  has  been  tested  and  found  to  comply  with  the  limits  for  a  Class A  digital  device,  pursuant 
to  Part  15  of  FCC  Rules.   These  limits  are  designed  to  provide  reasonable  protection  against  harmful 
interference  when  the  equipment  is  operated  in  a  commercial  environment. This  equipment  generates, 
uses,  and  can  radiate  radio  frequency  energy  and,  if  not  inst alled  and  used  in  accordance  with  the 
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.  Operation of this equipment 
in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct 
the interference at his own expense.
Do not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless other wise specified in the instructions.  
If  such  changes  or  modifications  should  be  made,  you  could  be  required  to  stop  operation  of  the 
equipment.
WARNINGThis  is  a  Class A  product.   This  product  may  cause  radio  interference  in  residential  areas,  in  which,  the 
user may be required to take adequate measures.

     Safety Precaution
–  This projector produces intense light from the projection lens. Do 
not stare directly into the lens, other wise eye damage could result. 
Be especially careful that children do not stare directly into the 
beam.
–  Install the projector in a proper position. Other wise it may result in 
a fire hazard.
–  Allowing the proper amount of space on the top, sides, and rear of 
the projector cabinet is critical for proper air circulation and cooling 
of the unit. The diagrams shown here indicates the minimum 
space required. If the projector is to be built into a compartment or 
similarly enclosed, these minimum distances must be maintained.
 
–   Do not cover the ventilation slots on the projector. Heat build-
up can reduce the service life of your projector, and can also be 
dangerous.
–  If the projector is unused for an extended time, unplug the 
projector from the power outlet.
–  Do not project the same image for a long time. It may be burned 
into the LCD panels.
 CAUTION ON HANGING FROM THE CEILING
When hanging the projector from the 
ceiling, clean the air intake vents and the 
top of the projector periodically with a 
vacuum cleaner. If you leave the projector 
unclean for a long time, the cooling fans 
can be clogged with dust, and it may cause 
a breakdown or a disaster.
DO NOT SET  THE PROjECTOR IN GREAS y, WET , 
OR SMOKy CONDITIONS SUCH  AS IN A KITCHEN 
TO PREVENT A BREAKDOWN OR DISASTER. IF  THE 
PROjECTOR COMES IN CONTACT  WITH OIL OR 
CHEMICALS , IT MAy BECOME DETERIORATED .

Hot air is exhausted from the exhaust vent. When 
using or installing the projector, the following 
precautions should be taken. 
–  Do not put any flammable object or spray can near 
the projector, hot air is exhausted from the air 
vents.
–  Keep the exhaust vent at least 3’ (1 m) away from 
any objects.
–  Do not touch peripheral parts of the exhaust vent, 
especially screws and metallic parts. These areas 
will become hot while the projector is being used.
–  Do not put anything on the cabinet. Objects put on 
the cabinet will not only get damaged but also may 
cause fire hazard by heat.
–   Do not cover vents with papers or other materials.

Installing the Projector in Proper Directions
Avoid positioning the projector as described below when installing.
Do not roll the projector more 
than 10 degrees from side to side. 
10˚10˚
In downward projection, do 
not tilt the projector over 10 
degrees right and left.
For ceiling mounting, you need the ceiling mount kit designed for this projector. When not 
mounted properly, the projector may fall, causing hazards or injury. For details, consult your 
dealer.  The warranty on this projector does not cover any damage caused by use of any non-
recommended ceiling mount kit or installation of the ceiling mount kit in an improper location.
CAUTION ON CEILING MOUNTING
Do not put the projector on either 
side to project an image. 
10˚
10˚
In upward projection, do 
not tilt the projector over 10 
degrees right and left.
Use the projector properly in specified positions. Improper positioning \
may reduce the lamp life and result in 
severe accident or fire hazard.
This projector can project the picture in upward, downward, or inclined position in perpendicular direction to the 
horizontal plane.
Positioning Precautions
✔Note:
•To inverse or reverse the image, set the ceiling function to “On.”
•The projector can not be operated at an altitude above 3,000 meters.
This projector uses a high-pressure lamp which must be handled carefully and properly. 
Improper handling may result in accidents, injury, or create a fire hazard.
● Lamp  lifetime  may  differ  from  lamp  to  lamp  and  according  to  the  environment  of  use. There  is  no 
g
uarantee  of  the  same  lifetime  for  each  lamp.  Some  lamps  may  fail  or  terminate  their  lifetime  in  a 
shorter period of time than other similar lamps.
● If  the  projector  indicates  that  the  lamp  should  be  replaced,  i.e.,  if  the  LAMP  1/2  REPLACE  indicators 
light  up, replace the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY after the projector has cooled down. (Follow 
carefully the instructions in the Lamp Replacement section of this manual.) Continuous use of the lamp 
with the LAMP 1/2 REPLACE indicators lighted may increase the risk of lamp explosion.  
● Lamp  may  explode  as  a  result  of  vibration,  shock  or  degradation  as  a  result  of  hours  of  use  as  its 
lif etime  draws  to  an  end.  Risk  of  explosion  may  differ  according  to  the  environment  or  conditions  in 
which the projector and lamp are being used.
IF A LAMP EXPLODES, THE FOLLOWING SAFETy PRECA UTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN.
If  a  lamp  explodes,  disconnect  the  projector’s  AC  plug  from  the  AC  outlet  immediately.  Contact  an 
authorized  service  station  for  a  checkup  of  the  unit  and  replacement  of  the  lamp.  Additionally,  check 
carefully to ensure that there are no broken shards or pieces of glass around the projector or coming out 
from  the  cooling  air  circulation  holes.  Any  broken  shards  found  should  be  cleaned  up  carefully.  No  one 
should  check  the  inside  of  the  projector  except  those  who  are  authorized  trained  technicians  and  who 
are familiar with projector service. Inappropriate attempts to service the unit by anyone, especially those 
who are not appropriately trained to do so, may result in an accident or injury caused by pieces of broken 
glass.

GROUND
AC Power Cord Requirement
Connecting the AC Power Cord
This projector uses nominal input voltages of 100–240 V AC. It 
is designed to work with single-phase power systems having a 
grounded neutral conductor. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, 
do not plug into any other type of power system.
If you are not sure of the type of power being supplied, consult 
your authorized dealer or service center.
Connect the projector with all peripheral equipment before turning 
on the projector. 
The AC outlet must be near this equipment and 
must be easily accessible.
CAUTION
Connect  the  AC  power  cord  (supplied)  to 
the projector.
NOTE ON THE POWER CORD
AC power cord must meet the requirements of the country where you use the projector. Confirm the AC plug type with 
the chart below and proper AC power cord must be used. If the supplied AC power cord does not match your AC outlet, 
contact your sales dealer.
