iv Important Information CAUTION • A minimum of two persons are required to carry the projector. Otherwise the projector may tumble or drop, caus- ing personal injury. • Keep hands away from the lens mounting portion while the lens shift is in operation. Failure to do so could result in hands being pinched by the moving lens. • 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. • Set [LAMP SELECT] and [LAMP INTERVAL MODE] if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days. (From the menu, select [LAMP MODE] → [LAMP SELECT] and [LAMP INTERVAL MODE].) • Before using Direct Power Off, be sure to allow at least 20 minutes immediately after turning on the projector and starting to display an image. • Do not unplug the power cord from the wall outlet or projector when the projector is powered on. Doing so can cause damage to the AC IN connector of the projector and (or) the prong plug of the power cord. To turn off the AC power supply when the projector is powered on, use the projector's main power switch or a power strip equipped with a switch and a breaker. • Do not turn off the AC power for 60 seconds after the lamp is turned on and while the POWER indicator is blink- ing blue. Doing so could cause premature lamp failure. • Use of a wall outlet with a 20 A or more circuit breaker is recommended. Performing Lens Calibration After Installation of the Optional Lens Be sure to perform [CALIBRATION] by pressing and holding the ORIENTATION/CALIBRATION button for at least 2 seconds or by holding the CTL button and pressing the INFO/L-CALIB button on the remote control after installation or replacement of the lens.

A Lamp Characteristic The projector has a high-pressure mercury lamp as a light source. A lamp has a characteristic that its brightness gradually decreases with age. Also repeatedly turning the lamp on and off will increase the possibility of its lower brightness. CAUTION: • DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off and then disconnect the power cord. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool before handling. • When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted projector, make sure that no one is under the projector. Glass fragments could fall if the lamp has been burned out. Clearance for Installing the Projector Allow ample clearance between the projector and its surroundings as shown below. Avoid installing the projector in a place where air movement from the HVAC is directed at the projector. Heated air from the HVAC can be taken in by the projector's intake vent. If this happens, the temperature inside the projector will rise too high causing the over-temperature protector to automatically turn off the projectors power. Example 1 – If there are walls on both sides of the projector. 50 cm/19.7" or greater 30 cm/12" or greater NOTE: The drawing shows the proper clearance required for the front, back and \ top of the projector.
vi Important Information Example 2 – If there is a wall behind the projector. (1) For floor installation: 70 cm/27.6" or greaterLens NOTE: The drawing shows the proper clearance required for the back, sides and \ top of the projector. (2) For ceiling mounting: 30 cm/12" or greater 70 cm/27.6" or greater Lens NOTE: 1. The drawing shows the proper clearance required for the front, sides, ba\ ck and bottom of the projector. 2. If suspending the projector 30 cm/12 inches away from the ceiling, allow ample clearance for all four sides and the under the projector. About High Altitude mode • Set [FAN MODE] to [HIGH ALTITUDE] when using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher.
