Important Safeguards
These	safety	instructions	are	to	ensure	the	long	life	of	your	projector	and	to	prevent	fire	and	shock.	Please	read	them	
carefully	and	heed	all	warnings.
 Installation
•	 Consult	your	dealer	for	information	about	transpor ting	and	installing	the	projector.	Do	not	attempt	to	transpor t	and	
install	the	projector	yourself.	The	projector	must	be	installed	by	qualified	technicians	in	order	to	ensure	proper	op-
eration	and	reduce	the	risk	of	bodily	injury.
•	 Do	not	place	the	projector	in	the	following	conditions:
-	 on	an	unstable	cart,	stand,	or	table.
-	 near	water,	baths,	or	damp	rooms.
-	 in	direct	sunlight,	near	heaters,	or	heat	radiating	appliances.
-	 in	a	dusty,	smoky	or	steamy	environment.	
-	 on	a	sheet	of	paper	or	cloth,	rugs	or	carpets.
•	 Do	not	install	and	store	the	projector	in	the	below	circumstances.	F ailure	to	do	so	ma y	cause	of	malfunction.
-	 In	powerful	magnetic	fields
-	 In	corrosive	gas	environment
-	 Outdoors
•	 If	you	wish	to	have	the	projector	installed	on	the	ceiling:
-	 Do	not	attempt	to	install	the	projector	yourself.
-	 The	projector	must	be	installed	by	qualified	technicians	in	order	to	ensure	proper	operation	and	reduce	the	risk	
of	bodily	injury.
-	 In	addition,	the	ceiling	must	be	strong	enough	to	support	the	projector	and	the	installation	must	be	in	accordance	
with	any	local	building	codes.
-	 Please	consult	your	dealer	for	more	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,	how ever,	portr ait	instal-
lation*	is	possible.	Please	read	the	war nings	concerning	portr ait	orientation	before	setting	the	projector	in	portr ait	
orientation.	(→	page	140)
 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	betw een	y our	projector	and	a	w all.	(→	page	ix)
•	 Prevent	foreign	objects	such	as	paper	clips	and	bits	of	paper	from	falling	into	your	projector.	Do	not	attempt	to	retrie ve	
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	remov ed	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	shoc k	or	fire .
•	 The	projector	is	designed	to	operate	on	a	power	supply	of	100-240V	AC	50/60	Hz.	Ensure	that	your	pow er	supply	
fits	this	requirement	before	attempting	to	use	your	projector.
•	 Do	not	look	into	the	lens	while	the	projector	is	on.	Serious	damage	to	y our	e yes	could	result.
•	 Do	not	look	into	the	light	source	using	optical	instruments	(such	as	magnifying	glasses	and	mirrors).	Visual	impair-
ment	could	result.
•	 When	turning	on	the	projector,	make	sure	no	one	within	projection	range	is	looking	at	the	lens.
 
•	 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.
Important Information  
						

							iv
•	 Handle	the	power	cord	carefully.	A	damaged	or	frayed	po wer	cord	can	cause	electr ic	shoc k	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	hav e	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.
•	 Moving	the	projector	requires	four	people	or	more.	Be	sure	to	firmly	gr ip	the	front	and	back	handles,	then	mov e	the	
projector.
•	 Turn	off	the	projector	and	unplug	the	power	cord	before	cleaning	the	cabinet.
•	 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	terminal	for	peripheral	device	wiring	that	might	have	excessive	voltage.
 CAUTION
•	 Keep	hands	away	from	the	lens	mounting	portion	while	the	lens	shift	is	in	operation.	Failure	to	do	so	could	result	
in	fingers	being	pinched	between	the	cabinet	and	lens	cover.
•	 Do	not	use	the	level	adjuster	for	purposes	other	than	originally	intended.	
•	 If	a	safety	cover	(sold	separately)	is	used,	do	not	carry	the	projector	by	the	cov er.	The	safety	cov er	can	come	off	
and	the	projector	may	be	dropped,	causing	personal	injury.
•	 Do	not	unplug	the	power	cord	from	the	wall	outlet	or	projector	when	the	projector	is	pow ered	on.	Doing	so	can	
cause	damage	to	the	AC	IN	terminal	of	the	projector	and	(or)	the	prong	plug	of	the	power	cord.	
	 To	turn	off	the	AC	power	supply	when	the	projector	is	pow ered	on,	use	the	projector’s	main	pow er	switch,	a	pow er	
strip	equipped	with	a	switch,	or	a	breaker.
Precautions when installing or replacing the lens unit sold separately (LENS 
CALIBRATION)
After	installing	or	replacing	the	lens	unit,	press	either	the	LENS	CALIBRATION	button	on	the	main	unit	or	the	INFO/L-
CALIB.	button	while	pressing	the	CTL	button	on	the	remote	control	to	carry	out	[LENS	CALIBRATION].	(→	page	16,	106)
By	carrying	out	[LENS	CALIBRATION],	the	adjustment	range	of	the	zoom	and	focus	of	the	[LENS	MEMORY]	is	calibrated.
Contact	your	dealer	to	install	and	replace	the	lens	unit.
Caution on Handling the Optional Lens
When	shipping	the	projector	with	the	lens,	remov e	the	lens	before	shipping	the	projector.	Alwa ys	attach	the	dust	cap	
to	the	lens	whenever	it	is	not	mounted	on	the	projector.	The	lens	and	the	lens	shift	mechanism	may	encounter	damage	
caused	by	improper	handling	during	transportation.	If	y ou	need	to	remo ve	the	lens	unit,	contact	y our	dealer .

 Health precautions to users viewing 3D images
Before	viewing,	be	sure	to	read	health	care	precautions	that	may	be	found	in	the	user’s	manual	included	with	your	3D	
eyeglasses	or	your	3D	compatible	content	such	as	Blu-ray	Discs,	video	games,	computer’s	video	files	and	the	like .
To	avoid	any	adverse	symptoms,	heed	the	following:
•	 Do	not	use	3D	eyeglasses	for	viewing	any	material	other	than	3D	images.
•	 Allow	a	distance	of	2	m/7	feet	or	greater	between	the	screen	and	a	user.	Viewing	3D	images	from	too	close	a	
distance	can	strain	your	eyes.
•	 Avoid	viewing	3D	images	for	a	prolonged	period	of	time.	Take	a	break	of	15	minutes	or	longer	after	ev ery	hour	
of	viewing.
•	 If	you	or	any	member	of	your	family	has	a	history	of	light-sensitive	seizures,	consult	a	doctor	before	viewing	3D	
images.
•	 While	viewing	3D	images,	if	you	get	sick	such	as	nausea,	dizziness,	queasiness,	headache,	eyestrain,	blurr y	
vision,	convulsions,	and	numbness,	stop	viewing	them.	If	symptoms	still	persist,	consult	a	doctor.	
•	 View	3D	images	from	the	front	of	the	screen.	Viewing	from	an	angle	may	cause	f atigue	or	e yestrain.
