Safety Precautions
Read and observe the following safety precautions to ensure safe use of the equipment.
Wa r n i n g
If any of the following abnormalities occur, switch off the power 
supply immediately, remove the plug from the power socket and 
contact your dealer or nearest address provided at page 121.
· The emission of smoke, strange odours or strange noises.
· When water or foreign objects have entered the inside of the unit.
· When the unit has been dropped or the case damaged.
Continuation of operations under these conditions may result in the 
outbreak of fire or electric shocks.
Repairs should never be attempted by the user.
The cabinet to the unit should never be opened by anyone other 
than our service personnel.
The inside of the projector contains many high-voltage parts that may 
result in the outbreak of fire, electric shocks or other incidents.
Never use an electrical voltage other than that displayed.
The use of a voltage other than that specified may result in the out-
break of fire or electric shocks.
Verify the specifications of the Power Cord.
The Power Cord supplied with the projector conforms to the electrical 
specifications of the country of purchase. If the projector is to be used 
in any other location, check the electrical voltage and shape of sock-
ets in the relevant country beforehand and purchase a cable that con-
forms to that country’s specifications.
Never use damaged Power Cord.
Failure to observe this may result in the outbreak of fire or electric 
shocks.
Also ensure that the following points are strictly observed.
· Never make any modifications to the Power Cord.
· Never place anything heavy on the Power Cord.
· Never bend, twist or pull the cable.
· Ensure that the cable is not installed near heaters.
Contact your dealer or nearest address provided at page 121 if the 
power cord becomes damaged.
