Cleaning
When cleaning the projector, be sure to unplug it from the wall outlet to prevent electric shock.
Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a dry/damp cloth with excessive moisture removed for 
cleaning. Be sure to use cleaning cloth designed to clean monitors for the projector to prevent damages 
to the projector casing due to abrasion.
Dampness, smoke, steam, dust, high temperature and direct exposure 
to sunlight
Do not operate the projector in environments where it could be expose to dampness, smoke, steam, 
dust, high temperature or direct sunlight. For example: bathroom, kitchen, adjacent to washing 
machine, damp basement rooms, electric heaters or similar environments. Keeping or operating the

Notices you should read prior to the installation of the projector
Safety issues related to the lamp
The lamp used in this projector contains mercury. Should the lamp be broken, please be careful when 
handling the glass shards and keep the surrounding environment well ventilated. Be sure to wear a 
mask that offers adequate protection before cleaning up to prevent inhaling mercury vapor that could 
cause bodily harm. For instructions on lamp replacement, refer to " Page 7 : Lamp replacement ".
Take frequent breaks to let your eyes rest 
Prolonged viewing of the projector screen could strain your eyes. Please be sure to rest your eyes 
adequately.
Installation environment for the projector
You should avoid installing the projector at place of excessive dampness, dust or smoke. If installation 
in such environment is unavoidable, be sure to have the interior of the projector 
cleaned routinely to prolong the projector's lifecycle. Cleaning of the projector's interior should only be 

&

to clean the inside of the projector by yourself. 
If other light source is directly projected onto the projector screen, the color of the image from the 
projector will appear to be pale and the image quality will be lower. In addition, your eyes would be 
more prone to fatigue. Therefore, it is recommended that the projector be installed in places without 
direct exposure to sunlight or other sources of intense light.
The ideal operating temperature range for the projector is between 0°C ~ 40°C (32°F ~ 104°F)
The ideal storage temperature range for the projector is between -20ºC ~ 60°C (-4°F ~ 140°F) 
						

							9 Warning, Notices and Safety Instructions
Do not tilt the projector more than 15 degrees.
The maximum tilt angle for the projector is 15 degrees. 
When the projector is tilted more than 15 degrees, it will shorten the life of the projector lamp and 
may lead to other unpredictable damages.

the projector's internal structure.
In the event of high temperature due to malfunctioning of the internal cooling fan caused by clogging at the 
ventilation inlets and outlets, the projector will activate its automatic protection mode and shutdown. When 
this happens, it does not necessary mean that the equipment is malfunctioning. Try to unplug the power cord 
from the wall outlet and wait for approximately 15 minutes before operating the projector again (remember 
to remove the objects that have caused poor ventilation so that the projector will not go into the protection 
mode again). Please 
refer to " Page 58 : LED STATUS ".
Description: The regulation of temperature inside the projector by the cooling fan is automatic. And as such, 
the sound of cooling fan changing its operating speed does not imply that a problem has occurred with the 
projector.
Protect the projector with care

not fall and cause injuries. Take care to protect the projector's lens from collision, abrasion or other 
damages. Be sure to close the lens cover or cover the projector with a dust cover if you need to store 
the projector or if it will not be used for an extended time.
