RF Interference
W ARNING
The Federal Communications Commission does not allow any
modifications or changes to the unit EXCEPT those specified
by  Dukane Corporation AV Division  in this manual. Failure to com-
ply with this government regulation could void your right to
operate this equipment. This equipment has been tested and
f ound to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guar-
antee that interference will not occur in a particular installa-
tion. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for
help.
In UK, a BS approved power cable with moulded plug has a Black (five
Amps) fuse installed for use with this equipment. If a power cable is not
supplied with this equipment please contact your supplier.
Important Safeguards
These safety instructions are to ensure the long life of your projector
and to prevent fire and shock. Please read them carefully and heed all
wa rnings.
Installation
1. For best results, use your projector in a darkened room.
2. Place the projector on a flat, level surface in a dry area away from
dust and moisture.
To avoid premature lamp failure, do not tilt the front of the projector
up or down by more than 75° from level. Tilting the front of the pro-
jector up or down from 15° to 75° might reduce lamp life by up to
25%.
3. Do not place your projector in direct sunlight, near heaters or heat radiating appliances.
4. Exposure to direct sunlight, smoke or steam can harm internal com- ponents.
5. Handle your projector carefully. Dropping or jarring can damage in- ternal components.
6. Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector.
7. If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling:
a. Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
b. The projector must be installed by qualified technicians in order
to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of bodily injury.
c. In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the installation must be in accordance with anylocal building codes.
d. Please consult your dealer for more information.
CAUTION
Do not look into the laser pointer while it is on and do not
point the laser beam at a person. Serious injury could re-
sult.
Important Information
W ARNING TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS:
Handling the cables supplied with this product, will expose you to
lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth de-
f ects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. 
						

							E-3
Fire and Shock Precautions
1. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unob-structed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow
at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between your projector and a
wall.
2. Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your projector.
Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that might fall into your projec-
tor. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver
into your projector. If something should fall into your projector, dis-
connect it immediately and have the object removed by a qualified
Dukane  service personnel.
3. Do not place any liquids on top of your projector.
4. Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.
5. Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light path of the projector. The light being projected from the lens is extensive, there-
fore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out
of the lens, can cause unpredictable outcome such as fire or injury
to the eyes.
6. Do not cover the lens with the supplied lens cap or equivalent while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to melting of the cap and
possibly burning your hands due to the heat emitted from the light
output.
7. The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-240 V 50/60 Hz AC. Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement
before attempting to use your projector.
8. Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending. A damaged cord can cause electric shock or fire.
9. If the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the plug from the power outlet.
10. Do not touch the power plug during a thunderstorm. Doing so can cause electrical shock or fire.
CAUTION
1. Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the front as it can be-come heated while the projector is turned on.
2. Do no use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses such as gripping the tilt-foot or hanging on the wall can
cause damage to the projector.
3. Enable High-Speed Fan mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days. (From the Advanced menu, select [Projector
Options]  → [Setup]  → [Page 4]  → [High Speed Fan Mode].)
4. Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet under any one of the following circumstances.
Doing so can cause damage to the projector:
* While the Hour Glass icon appears .
* While the message Please w ait a moment. appears. This mes-
sage will be displa yed after the projector is tur ned off.
* While the cooling f ans are running. (The cooling f ans continue to
work f or 90 seconds after the projector is tur ned off).
5.Do not eject the PC card or LAN card while its data is being accessed.
Doing so can damage your PC card or LAN card data.
6. Do not hold the lens part with your fingers. Doing so could pinch fingers or hands causing injury.
Lamp Replacement
•T o replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page E-55.
• Be sure to replace the lamp when the message  The lamp has

appears. If you continue to use the lamp after the lamp has reached
the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of
glass may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not touch them as the
pieces of glass may cause injury.
If this happens, contact your  Dukane dealer for lamp replacement.
