IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
13. Power-Cord ProtectionPower-supply cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the product.
14. LightningFor added protection for this product during a lightning storm,
or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the cable
system. This will prevent damage to the product due to
lightning and power-line surges.
15. OverloadingDo not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
16. Object and Liquid EntryNever push objects of any kind into this product through
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
17. ServicingDo not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
18. Damage Requiring ServiceUnplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing
to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into
the product.
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the product does not operate normally by following
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls
that are covered by the operating instructions, as an
improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the product to normal
operation.
e. If the product has been dropped or damaged in any
way.
f.When the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance, this indicates a need for service.
19. Replacement PartsWhen replacement parts are required, be sure that the service
technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original
part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock, or other hazards.
20. Safety CheckUpon completion of any service or repairs to this product,
ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the product is in proper operating condition.
21.Wall or Ceiling Mounting
This product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as
recommended by the manufacturer.
22. HeatThis product should be situated away from heat sources such
as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
CAUTION: Please read all of these instructions before you operate this product and save these
instructions for later use.
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This product has been engineered and manufactured to
assure your personal safety. BUT IMPROPER USE CAN RESULT IN POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR
FIRE HAZARDS. In order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated in this product, observe the following basic
rules for its installation, use and servicing.

Observe the following safeguards when setting up your
projector.
Caution concerning the lamp unit
■Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp rup-
tures. In case of lamp rupture, contact your
nearest EIKI Authorized Dealer or Service
Center for replacement.  See “Replacing the
Lamp” on page  93.
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
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 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.
The projector may be safely tilted to a
maximum angle of 9 degrees.
■Placement should be within 9 degrees of
horizontal.
If you have application requiring tilt angle
exceeding 9 degrees, please check with your
local EIKI sales office.
Warning about placing the projector in a
high position
■ When placing the projector in a high posi-
tion, ensure that it is secured 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 104°F (+5°C to +40°C).
■ The storage temperature of the projector is
from –4°F to 140°F (–20°C to +60°C).

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS 
						

							9
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 starts to over-
heat due to setup problems or
blockage of the air vents, “
”
and “
”  will illuminate in
the lower left corner of the picture. If the tem-
perature continues to rise, the lamp will turn off,
the temperature warning indicator on the pro-
jector will blink, and after a 90-second cooling-
off period the projector will enter the standby
mode. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” on
page  91 for details.
Info
• The cooling fan regulates the internal tem-
perature, and its performance is automati-
cally controlled. The sound of the fan may
change during projector operation due to
changes in the fan speed. This does not
indicate malfunction.
• Do not unplug the power cord during pro-
jection or cooling fan operation. This can
cause damage due to rise in internal tem-
perature, as the cooling fan also stops.
Optional lens installation
■ Be sure to have service personnel install the
optional lenses.
Do not block the intake and exhaust
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 vents 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  91 and  92.). 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.
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. If  you are not to use  the projector for a
long time, be sure to  unplug the power cord
from the wall outlet, and disconnect any other
cables connected to it.
■ Do not use the projector while holding the
lens.
■ When storing the projector, re-attach the lens
cap to the projector. (See page  13.)
■ Do not expose the projector to direct sunlight
or place it near 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.
