SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 10A
fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked  or and of the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the pin face\
 of the plug, must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compat\
ible with the plug supplied,
cut off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type.
DANGER:The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and
disposed of in a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a
serious electric shock may occur.
To  fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:

8Observe the following safeguards when setting up your
projector.
Caution concerning the lamp unit
■
Potential hazard of glass par-
ticles if lamp ruptures. In case
of lamp rupture, contact your
nearest EIKI Authorized
Dealer or Service Center for
replacement.
See “Regarding the Lamp” on
page 
52 .
Caution concerning the setup of the
projector
■For minimal servicing and to maintain high
image quality, EIKI recommends that this pro-
jector be installed in an area free from hu-
midity, dust and cigarette smoke. When the
projector is subjected to these environments,
the vents and lens must be cleaned more of-
ten. As long as the projector is regularly
cleaned, use in these environments will not
reduce the overall operation life of the unit.
Internal cleaning should only be performed
by  an EIKI Authorized Dealer or Service Cen-
ter.
Do not set up the projector in places
e xposed to direct sunlight or bright light.
■ Position the screen so that it is not in direct
sunlight or room light. Light falling directly on
the screen washes out the colors, making
viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim
the lights when setting up the screen in a
sunny or bright room.
Caution regarding placing of the projector
■ Place the projector on a level site within the
adjustment range (9 degrees) of the adjust-
ment foot.
When using the projector in high-altitude
areas such as mountains (at altitudes of
approximately 1,500 meters (4,900 feet)
or more)
■When you use the projector in high-altitude
areas with thin air, set “Fan Mode” to “High”.
Neglecting this can affect the longevity of the
optical system.
Warning about placing the projector in
a high position
■ When placing the projector in a high position,
make certain it is carefully secure to avoid
personal injury caused by the projector fall-
ing down.
Do not subject the projector to hard
impact and/or vibration.
■Protect the lens so as not to hit or damage
the surface of the lens.
Rest your eyes occasionally.
■Continuously watching the screen for long
hours will cause eye strain. Take regular
breaks to rest your eyes.
Avoid locations with extremes of
temperature.
■ The operating temperature of the projector is
from 41°F to 95°F (+5°C to +35°C).
■ The storage temperature of the projector is
from  –4°F to 140°F (–20°C to +60°C).
Do not block the exhaust and intake
vents.
■Allow at least 11 13/16 inches (30 cm) of space
between the exhaust vent and the nearest
w all or obstruction.
■ Ensure that the intake vent and the exhaust
vent are not obstructed.
■ If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a pro-
tection circuit will automatically put the pro-
jector into standby mode to prevent overheat
damage. This does not indicate a malfunc-
tion. (See pages  50 and  51.) Remove the pro-
jector power cord from the wall outlet and wait
at least 10 minutes. Place the projector where
the intake and exhaust vents are not blocked,
plug the power cord back in and turn on the
projector. This will return the projector to the
normal operating condition.
■ After the projector is purchased, a faint smell
from the vent may appear when the power is
first turned on. This is normal and is not a
malfunction. It will disappear after the projec-
tor is used for a while.
