This EIKI projector uses a DLP® chip. This very sophisticated panel contains 786,432 
pixels (micromirrors). As with any high technology electronic equipment such as large screen 
TVs, video systems and video cameras, there are certain acceptable tolerances that the 
equipment must conform to.
This unit has some inactive pixels within acceptable tolerances which ma\
y result in inactive dots 
on the picture screen. This will not affect the picture quality or the life expectancy of the unit.

Observe the following safeguards when setting up your 
projector.
Caution concerning the lamp unit
Potential hazard of glass 
particles 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 
55.
Caution concerning the setup of the 
projector
For minimal servicing and to maintain high 
image quality, EIKI recommends that this 
projector be installed in an area free from 
humidity, dust and cigarette smoke. When 
the projector is subjected to these 
environments, the vents and lens must be 
cleaned more often. 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 Center. 
Do not set up the projector in places 
exposed 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 diffi  cult. 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 
adjustment foot.
After the projector is purchased, a faint 
smell from the vent may appear when the 
power is fi  rst turned on. This is normal and 
is not a malfunction. It will disappear after 
the projector 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, make certain it is carefully secure 
to avoid personal injury caused by the 
projector falling 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 wall or obstruction.
Ensure that the intake vent and the exhaust 
vent are not obstructed.
If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a 
protection circuit will automatically put the 
projector into standby mode to prevent 
overheat damage. This does not indicate a 
malfunction. (See pages 
53 and 54.) 
Remove the projector 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.
