RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
Before operating this projector, read this manual thoroughly 
and operate the projector properly.  
This projector provides many convenient features and 
functions.  Operating the projector properly enables you to 
manage those features and maintains it in better condition for
a considerable time.
Improper operation may result in not only shortening the 
product-life, but also malfunctions, fire hazard, or other 
accidents.
If your projector seems to operate improperly, read this 
manual again, check operations and cable connections and try 
the solutions in the “Troubleshooting” section in the end of 
this booklet.  If the problem still persists, contact the dealer 
where you purchased the projector or the service center.Safety Precaution
WARNING :  TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE
TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
–This projector produces intense light from the projection
lens.  Do not stare directly into the lens as much as
possible.  Eye damage could result.  Be especially careful
that children do not stare directly into the beam.
–Install the projector in a proper position.  If not, it may
result in a fire hazard.
–Provide appropriate space on the top, sides and rear of the
projector cabinet for allowing air circulation and cooling the
projector.  Minimum clearance must be maintained.  If the
projector is to be built into a compartment or similarly
enclosed, the minimum distances must be maintained.  Do
not cover the ventilation slot on the projector.  Heat build-
up can reduce the service life of your projector, and can
also be dangerous.
–If the projector is not to be used for an extended time,
unplug the projector from the power outlet.
