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, and is especially dangerous for children and pets.
■Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table.
■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 vertical keystone correction (see page 106). 
■If the projector is mounted on a ceiling, it should be installed by 
qualified technicians using mounting hardware designed for use with 
this projector. If the projector is not installed correctly, the projector 
may fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to 
anyone under the mount and could damage the projector.
■If you use a ceiling mount and 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 ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the 
mount and could damage the projector. When installing or adjusting a 
ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening 
and do not use oils or lubricants.
■Do not stand on the projector or place heavy objects on it.
■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, or solvents such 
as alcohol, thinner, or benzine. 
						

							114Notices
■Do not use sprays containing flammable gas to clean the lens or filter. 
Do not spray a liquid of any kind directly on the projector or its lens. Do 
not use the projector where there may be flammable, explosive, or 
corrosive gases present in the atmosphere.
■Do not place containers of liquid on top of the projector. Never spill 
liquid of any kind into the projector.
■Do not use the projector where it may be exposed to smoke, steam, or 
excessive dust.
■Never insert or drop objects of any kind through the projector’s vents or 
openings. Do not leave metal, flammable, or foreign objects nearby.
■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.
■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. 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 (see 
page 108). Doing so may cause an unstable display and could lead to 
projector damage.
■Do not store the projector outside the required temperature range (see 
page 108) 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. 
Place the projector near an outlet where the plug can be easily 
unplugged.
■Remove the batteries from the remote control if you will not be using 
the projector for a long period of time.
■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  
						

							Notices115 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 (including consumables). 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.
■If you use the projector in the country where it was purchased, only use 
the power cable that came with the projector. If you use the projector in 
a country other than where you purchased it, use the correct power cord 
for that country.
■Take the following precautions when handling the plug: Do not 
overload wall outlets, extension cords, or power strips. Do not hold the 
plug with wet hands. Do not insert the plug into a dusty outlet. Insert 
the plug firmly into the outlet. Do not pull the power cord when 
disconnecting the plug; always be sure to hold the plug when 
disconnecting it. Failure to comply with these precautions could result 
in fire or electric shock.
■Do not place anything that can become warped or damaged by heat near 
the exhaust vents. Do not bring your hands or face close to the vents 
while projection is in progress.
■Before you move the projector, make sure its power is turned off, the 
plug is disconnected from the outlet, and all cables are disconnected.
■Do not project images while the detachable lens cover is still attached. 
Heat may cause the lens cover to melt, and if you touch the lens cover 
you could get burned.
■Do not block the light coming from the projector with any object. The 
object may be damaged or the reflected light may heat the lens and 
damage the projector.
■Do not touch the lens with bare hands.
■Always attach the lens cover to the lens when not using the projector, to 
prevent the lens from becoming dirty or damaged. 
						

							116Notices
■Never try to remove the lamp immediately after use because it will be 
extremely hot. Before removing the lamp, turn off the power and wait at 
least an hour to allow the lamp to cool completely.
■Do not place the source of an open flame, such as a lit candle, on or near 
the projector.
■Do not modify the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on top of the 
power cord or bend, twist, or pull it excessively. Keep the power cord 
away from hot electrical appliances. Do not place the projector where 
the cord can be walked on.
■The lamp(s) in this product contain mercury. Please consult your 
state and local regulations regarding disposal or recycling. Do not put in 
the trash.
■The gases inside the lamp contain mercury vapor. If the lamp breaks, 
ventilate the room to prevent gases contained in the lamp from being 
inhaled or coming in contact with the eyes or mouth.
■If the projector is mounted overhead and the lamp breaks, small pieces 
of glass may fall down when you remove the lamp cover. Be careful to 
prevent pieces of glass from getting into your eyes or mouth.
■If the lamp breaks and gases or fragments of broken glass from the lamp 
are inhaled or get into the eyes or mouth, or if any other ill effects are 
noticed, immediately seek medical advice.
■Do not disassemble or damage the lamp or subject it to any impacts.
■Do not use the projector where there may be low or high temperature 
extremes or sudden changes in temperature.
■Do not set up the projector where it may be subjected to vibrations or 
shocks, or near high-voltage electrical wires or sources of magnetic fields.
WARNING: The cords included with this product contain chemicals, 
including lead, known to the State of California to cause birth defects or 
other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. (This notice is 
provided in accordance with Proposition 65 in Cal. Health & Safety Code 
§25249.5 and following.)
