iii Important Information WARNING • Do not cover the lens with the lens cap or equivalent while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to melting of the cap due to the heat emitted from the light output. • Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of the projector lens. Doing so could lead to the object melting from the heat that is emitted from the light output. Do not use the projector with it leaning to the left and right. This may result in a malfunction. However, portrait instal- lation is possible* (when a custom-designed stand is made). For portrait installation, install the projector with the air intake at the bottom and leave a space of at least 130 mm below the air intake. 130 mm or more Fire and Shock Precautions • Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow enough space between your projector and a wall. (→ page vii) • Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the left front (when seen from the front) as it can become heated while the projector is turned on and immediately after the projector is turned off. Parts of the projector may become tem- porarily heated if the projector is turned off with the POWER button or if the AC power supply is disconnected during normal projector operation. Use caution when picking up the projector. • Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your projector. Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that might fall into your projector. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your projector. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed by a qualified service personnel. • Do not place any objects on top of the projector. • Do not touch the power plug during a thunderstorm. Doing so can cause electrical shock or fire. • The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-240V AC 50/60 Hz. Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your projector. • Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result. • Keep any items (magnifying glass etc.) out of the light path of the projector. The light path being projected from the lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause an unpredictable outcome such as a fire or injury to the eyes. • Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of a projector exhaust vent. Doing so could lead to the object melting or getting your hands burned from the heat that is emitted from the ex- haust.

iv Important Information • Handle the power cord carefully. A damaged or frayed power cord can cause electric shock or fire. - Do not use any power cord other than the one supplied with the projector. - Do not bend or tug the power cord excessively. - Do not place the power cord under the projector, or any heavy object. - Do not cover the power cord with other soft materials such as rugs. - Do not heat the power cord. - Do not handle the power plug with wet hands. • Turn off the projector, unplug the power cord and have the projector serviced by a qualified service personnel under the following conditions: - When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed. - If liquid has been spilled into the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water. - If the projector does not operate normally when you follow the instructions described in this user’s manual. - If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. - If the projector exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service. • Disconnect the power cord and any other cables before carrying the projector. • Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord before cleaning the cabinet or replacing the lamp. • Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord if the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time. • When using a LAN cable: For safety, do not connect to the connector for peripheral device wiring that might have excessive voltage. CAUTION • Do not use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses such as gripping the tilt-foot or hang- ing on the wall can cause damage to the projector. • Do not send the projector in the soft case by parcel delivery service or cargo shipment. The projector inside the soft case could be damaged. • Select [HIGH] in Fan mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days.
