IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS This unit has been engineered and manufac- tured to ensure your personal safety under normal operating conditions. However, IM- PROPER USE CAN RESULT IN POTENTIAL ELEC- TRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD. In order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated into this product, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and service. Please read these Important Safeguards carefully before use.
• All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the product is operated. • The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference. • All warnings on the product and in the operat- ing instructions should be adhered to. • All operating instructions should be followed. • Place the projector near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged. • Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. • Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer, as they may be haz- ardous. • Do not use this product near water. Do not use immediately after moving from a low tempera- ture to high temperature, as this causes conden- sation, which may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards. • Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. The product should be mounted according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mount recom- mended by the manufacturer. • When the product is used on a cart, care should be taken to avoid quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces which may cause the product and cart to overturn, damaging equipment or causing possible injury to the operator. • Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. These ensure reliable operation of the product and protect it from overheat- ing, and must not be blocked or covered. (The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar sur- face. The unit should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided and the manufac- turer’s instructions have been adhered to.) For proper ventilation, separate the product from other equipment which may prevent ventilation by a distance of at least 1ft (30 cm). • This product should be operated only with the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. • This product is equipped with a three-pin plug. This plug will fit only into an earthed (grounded) power outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug. • Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at doors, plugs, receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product. • For added protection of this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and/or power line surges. • Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or power outlet receptacles on other equipment as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. • Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch danger- ous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. • Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages and other hazards. Refer all service to qualified service personnel. • Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer service to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: a) When the power supply cord or plug is damaged. b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen on the product. c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water. d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instruc- tions. Adjust only those controls that are cov- ered by this Operation Manual, as an improper adjustment of controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a quali- fied technician to restore the product to normal operation. e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way. f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service. • When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or with the same characteristics as the original part. Unau- thorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards. • Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition. • The product should be placed more than one foot away from heat sources such as radia- tors, heat registers, stoves, and other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat. • When connecting other products such as VCR’s, and personal computers, you should turn off the power of this product for protection against electric shock. • Do not place combustibles behind the cooling fan. For example, cloth, paper, matches, aerosol cans or gas lighters that present special hazards when over heated. • Do not look into the projection lens while the illumination lamp is turned on. Exposure of your eyes to the strong light can result in impaired eyesight. • Do not look into the inside of this unit through
vents (ventilation holes), etc. Do not look at the illumination lamp directly by opening the cabi- net while the illumination lamp is turned on. The illumination lamp also emits ultraviolet rays and the light is so powerful that your eyesight can be impaired. • Do not drop, hit, or damage the light-source (lamp unit) in any way. It may cause the lamp to break and lead to injuries. Do not use a damaged lamp. If the lamp is broken, ask your dealer to repair it. Fragments from a broken lamp may cause injuries. • The lamp used in this projector is a high pres- sure mercury lamp. Be careful when disposing of the lamp. In case of doubt on how to do this, please consult your dealer. • Do not ceiling-mount the projector to a place which tends to vibrate; otherwise, the mounting fixture of the projector could be broken by the vibration, possibly causing it to fall or overturn, which could lead to personal injury. Use only the accessory cord designed for this product to prevent shock. The power sup- ply voltage rating of this product is AC120 V, AC100 V – AC240 V, and the power cord attached conforms to the appropriate power supply voltage. Use only the power cord des- ignated by your dealer to ensure Safety and EMC. When used on an alternative power supply voltage, the power cable may need to be changed. Ensure that the power cable used for the projector is the correct type for the AC outlet in your country. If necessary, consult your product dealer. For United KingdomFor European countries Powercable Power supply voltage:AC 120 V DO NOT allow any unqualified person to install the unit. Be sure to ask your dealer to install the unit (e.g. attaching it to the ceiling) since special technical knowledge and skills are re- quired for installation. If an unqualified person performs installation, it may result in personal injury or electric shock. WARNING: Do not cut off the main plug from this equip- ment.
