WARNING
•	 Do	not	use	any	other	object	than	the	projector’s	lens	cover	to	cov er	the	lens	while	the	projector	is	on.	Doing	so	
can	cause	the	object	to	get	extremely	hot,	and	possibly	resulting	in	a	fire	or	damage	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.	
This	projector	can	be	installed	any	angle	within	vertical	and	horiz ontal	360°	range ,	how ever,	life	of	optical	parts	will	
be	shorten	in	the	following	installation	state:
•	 When	the	projector	is	installed	on	which	lens	faces	downward.
•	 When	the	intake	vent	on	the	projector	side	faces	downward	in	the	portrait	installation.	(→	page	154)	
For	portrait	installation,	install	the	projector	with	the	intake	vent	at	the	bottom.	Observe	precautions	for	portr ait	installation.*	 A	customized	stand	is	required	to	be	attached	to	the	projector.	(→	page	155)
 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	xi)
•	 Do	not	try	to	touch	the	exhaust	vent	on	the	rear	side	(when	seen	from	the	front)	as	it	can	become	heated	while	the	
projector	is	turned	on	and	immediately	after	the	projector	is	turned	off.	Par ts	of	the	projector	may	become	temporar ily	
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	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,	ensure	that	nobody	is	facing	towards	the	lens	in	the	path	of	the	light	emitted	from	
the	laser.
 
•	 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	bur ned	from	the	heat	that	is	emitted	from	the	exhaust	
vent.
