							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 “Replacing the Lamp” on
page 55.
Caution concerning the setup of the pro-
jector

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 ex-
posed 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 projec-
tor

Place the projector on a level site within the
adjustment range (8 degrees) of the adjust-
ment foot.

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.
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,
ensure that it is secured carefully to avoid per-
sonal injury caused by the projector falling
down.
Do not subject the projector to hard im-
pact 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. Be sure to occa-
sionally rest your eyes.
Avoid locations with extremes of tem-
perature.

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
wall or obstruction.

Be sure 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 53 and 54.) 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.
EIP-3000N_EN_CD_b06.5.10, 9:38 AM 8 
						

							9

When turning off the projector, the cooling fan
runs to decrease the internal temperature for
a while. Unplug the power cord after the cool-
ing fan stops. The period the cooling fan runs
will vary, depending on the circumstances and
the internal temperature.
Caution regarding usage of the projector

When using the projector, be sure not to sub-
ject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this
can result in damage. Take extra care with
the lens. Before moving the projector, be sure
to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet,
and disconnect any other cables connected
to it.

Do not carry the projector by holding the lens.

When storing the projector, re-attach the lens
cap. (See page 12).

Do not expose the projector to direct sunlight
or place next to heat sources. Doing so may
affect the cabinet color or cause deformation
of the plastic cover.
Other connected equipment

When connecting a computer or other audio-
visual equipment to the projector, make the
connections AFTER unplugging the power
cord of the projector from the AC outlet and
turning off the equipment to be connected.

Please read the owner’s manuals of the pro-
jector and the equipment to be connected for
instructions on how to make the connections.
Info
•The cooling fan regulates the internal tem-
perature, and its performance is automatically
controlled. The sound of the fan may change
during projector operation due to changes in
the fan speed. This does not indicate malfunc-
tion.
•Do not unplug the power cord during projec-
tion or cooling fan operation. This can cause
damage due to rise in internal temperature,
as the cooling fan also stops.
Using the projector in other countries

The power supply voltage and the shape of
the plug may vary depending on the region
or country you are using the projector in.
When using the projector overseas, be sure
to use an appropriate power cord for the coun-
try you are in.
Temperature monitor function

If the projector star ts to overheat due to setup
problems or blockage of the air vents, “
” and
“” will illuminate in the lower left corner
of the picture. If the temperature continues to
rise, the lamp will tur n off, the temperature warn-
ing indicator on the projector will blink, and after
a 90-second cooling-off per iod the projector will
enter standby mode. Refer to “Maintenance In-
dicators” on page 53 for details.

• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
• Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the m and n marks inside the battery
compartment.
• Batteries of different types have different properties, therefore do not mix batteries of different types.
• Do not mix new and old batteries.
This may shorten the life of new batteries or may cause old batteries to leak.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control once they have run out, as leaving them in can cause them
to leak.
Battery fluid from leaked batteries is harmful to skin, therefore ensure that you first wipe them and then
remove them using a cloth.
• The batteries included with this projector may run down in a short period, depending on how they are kept.
Be sure to replace them as soon as possible with new batteries.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control if you will not be using the remote control for a long time.
• Comply with the rules (ordinance) of each local government when disposing of worn-out batteries.
Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode. Please
follow the precautions below.
Inserting the Batteries
Attach the cover and slide it until it clicks into place. Insert the batteries.
• Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match
the m and n marks inside the battery compartment.
Press the P mark on the cover and slide it in the
direction of the arrow.1

Caution
• The signal from the remote control can be re-
flected off a screen for easy operation. How-
ever, the effective distance of the signal may
differ depending on the screen material.
When using the remote control
• Ensure that you do not drop it or expose it to
moisture or high temperature.
• The remote control may malfunction under a
fluorescent lamp. In this case, move the pro-
jector away from the fluorescent lamp.
