Notices
This appendix includes safety instructions and other important information 
about your projector.
Important Safety Instructions
Follow these safety instructions when setting up and using the projector:
■Do not look into the lens when the projector is on. The bright light can 
damage your eyes.
■Do not operate the projector on its side, or while tilted to one side. 
Do not tilt the projector forward or back at a greater angle than that 
specified for keystone correction (see page 144). 
■The projector should be installed by qualified technicians using 
mounting hardware designed for use with this projector.
■If you apply adhesives to the mount to prevent the screws from 
loosening, or if you use lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector 
case may crack and the projector may fall from its mount. This could 
cause serious injury to anyone under the mount and could damage the 
projector. When installing or adjusting the mount, do not use adhesives 
to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants.
■Do not use the projector where it may be exposed to rain, water, or 
excessive humidity. 
■Unplug the projector from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a dry 
cloth (or, for stubborn dirt or stains, a moist cloth that has been wrung 
dry) for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
■Never spill liquid of any kind into the projector.
■Do not use the projector where it may be exposed to excessive dust or 
smoke.
■Never push objects of any kind through the cabinet slots. 
■Do not use or store the projector or remote control in a hot location, 
such as near a heater, in direct sunlight, or in a closed vehicle. 
						

							150Notices
■Do not block the slots and openings in the projector case. They provide 
ventilation and prevent the projector from overheating. Do not operate 
the projector on a sofa, rug, or other soft surface, or set it on top of loose 
papers, which could block vents underneath your projector. If you are 
setting up the projector near a wall, leave at least 7.9 inches (20 cm) of 
space between the wall and the air exhaust vent.
■Do not operate the projector in a closed-in cabinet unless proper 
ventilation is provided.
■If you are using two or more projectors side-by-side, leave at least 2 feet 
(60 cm) of space between the projectors to allow for proper ventilation.
■You may need to clean the air filter and vent. A clogged air filter or vent 
can block ventilation needed to cool the projector.
■Do not store the projector outdoors for an extended length of time.
■Do not use the projector outside the required temperature range of 
41 to 95 °F (5 to 35 °C). Doing so may cause an unstable display and 
could lead to projector damage.
■Do not store the projector outside the required temperature range of 
14 to 140 °F (–10 to 60 °C) or in direct sunlight for long periods of 
time. Doing so may cause damage to the case.
■Do not touch the plug during an electrical storm. Otherwise, you may 
receive an electric shock.
■Unplug the projector when it will not be used for extended periods.
■Unplug the projector from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified 
service personnel under the following conditions: if it does not operate 
normally when you follow the operating instructions, or exhibits a 
distinct change in performance; if smoke, strange odors, or strange 
noises come from the projector; if the power cord or plug is damaged or 
frayed; if liquid or foreign objects get inside the projector, or if it has 
been exposed to rain or water; if it has been dropped or the housing has 
been damaged.
■Except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide, do not attempt to 
service this product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. 
Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages and 
other hazards.
■Never open any covers on the projector except as specifically explained 
in this User’s Guide. Never attempt to disassemble or modify the 
projector. Refer all repairs to qualified service personnel.
■Use the type of power source indicated on the projector. Use of a 
different power source may result in fire or electric shock. If you are not 
sure of the power available, consult your dealer or power company.
