Failure to observe these instructions may result in the outbreak of fire 
or electric shocks.
Observe the following precautions when handling power plugs and 
power connectors.
·Never connect too many appliances to a single socket.
·Never use plugs or connectors to which dust, dirt or other foreign 
objects have adhered.
·Ensure that the plugs and connectors are firmly inserted as far as 
they will go.

The projector includes many glass parts, such as the lens and 
lamps.
If any of these parts should break, handle them with extreme care to 
avoid injury and then contact your dealer or nearest address provided 
at page 103 and request repairs.

Never place vases or containers that contain liquid on top of the 
projector. 
If the water is spilt and enters the outer case, it may result in the out-
break of fire or electric shocks.

Never insert or drop metal or inflammable objects, or any other 
foreign objects into the suction inlets and ventilation outlets on 
the projector. 
Failure to observe this may result in the outbreak of fire or electric 
shocks.

Never place the projector or the battery-operated remote control  
in locations with excessive temperatures, such as in vehicles 
with closed windows, in areas subject to direct sunlight, or near 
the fan outlets of air-conditioners and heaters.
Failure to observe this may result in heat-distortion that would have 
an adverse affect on the contents of the projector, and may result in 
the outbreak of fire or electric shocks.

							10 - Safety Precautions
Caution

Never stand on the projector or place any heavy objects on it.
Failure to observe this may result in it dropping over, becoming dam-
aged, or causing injury.

locations where it would be subject to oil steam or water steam, 
such as kitchens or near humidifiers.
Failure to observe this may result in the outbreak of fire or electric 
shocks.

Never block the projector’s suction inlets or ventilation outlets. 
Failure to observe this may result in the build up of high temper-
atures inside the projector, leading to the outbreak of fire. Do 
not place the projector in the following locations.
·In narrow, badly ventilated areas, such as in cupboards or in book-
cases. 
·On top of carpets, matresses or blankets.
·Never cover the projectors with table cloth or other material.
Also, if placing by a wall, ensure that at least 20cm of space has 
been provided between the projector and the wall.

Always ensure that the plug has been disconnented from the 
power socket when it is not to be used.
Failure to observe this may result in the outbreak of fire. 
						

							 Safety Precautions - 11

Always ensure that the power has been switched off, the plug 
has been disconnected from the power socket, and all other 
cables have been disconnected when moving the projector.
Failure to observe this may result in the outbreak of fire or electric 
shocks.

Never attempt to remove the lamp immediately after the projec-
tor has been used. Wait for the projector to cool down suffi-
ciently by leaving it for at least sixty minutes after the power 
supply has been switched off before attempting this.
Failure to observe this may result in burns or other injuries.

Misuse of the batteries may result in damage to the batteries 
and subsequent leakages, leading to the outbreak of fire, injury 
and product corrosion. Observe the following precautions to 
ensure safety.
·Never use combinations of different batteries, or old batteries 
together with new batteries.
·Never use batteries that are not specified in the instruction manual.
·If liquid should leak from the battery, wipe up the leakage with a 
cloth and then replace the battery accordingly.
·Replace the batteries immediately when the time for replacement 
arrives.
·Remove the batteries when the projector is not to be used for a long 
period of time.
·Never apply heat to the batteries, or place them in naked flames or 
water.
·Ensure that the batteries are inserted in accordance with the cor-
rect polarity (+ and -).
·If any liquid that has leaked from a battery gets onto the hands, 
wash it off immediately with water.
Batteries must be disposed of in accordance with the regulations in 
effect in each relevant area.

Ensure that the electric plug and connectors have been discon-
nected from their sockets when performing maintenance tasks.
Failure to observe this may result in electric shocks.

Safety Precautions

Using the projector outside of the permissible temperature range (+5C° to +40C°) 
may result in unstable display and excessive loads being placed on the fan, lead-
ing to damage to the equipment.

Storing the projector outside of the permissible temperature range (-10C° to 
+60C°) may result in damage of the case. Take special care to avoid placing the 
equipment in direct sunlight for a long period of time.

Do not use the projector with the lens cover still in place. The heat generated by 
the lens may cause the cover to become malformed.

The liquid crystal display panel has been manufactured with high-accuracy tech-
nology and contains more than 99.99% active pixels. However, note that there is a 
possibility of 0.01% of missing pixels and pixels that will be constantly illumi-
nated.
