Precautions
Please follow all warnings, precautions and  
maintenance as recommended in this user’s 
guide.
▀■ Warning - Do not look into the projector’s lens when the lamp is 
on. The bright light may damage your eyes.
▀■ Warning - To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not  
expose this projector to rain or moisture.
▀■ Warning - Please do not open or disassemble the projector as this 
may cause electric shock.
▀■ Warning - When replacing the lamp, please allow unit to cool down, 
and follow all replacement instructions. See pages 60.
▀■ Warning - This projector will detect the life of the lamp itself. Please 
be  sure  to  change  the  lamp  when  it  shows  warning  
messages.
▀■ Warning - Use the “Lamp Reset” function from the on-screen display 
“Options|Lamp Settings” menu after replacing the lamp 
module (see page 47).
▀■ Warning - When switching the projector off, please ensure the  
cooling cycle has been completed before disconnecting 
the power. Allow 90 seconds for the projector to cool 
down.
▀■ Warning - Do not use the lens cap when projector is in operation.
▀■ Warning - When the lamp is approaching the end of its life, the 
message  “Lamp  is  approaching  the  end  of  its  useful 
life” displays on the screen. Please contact your local 
reseller  or  service  center  to  change  the  lamp  as  soon 
as possible.
▀■ Warning - To reduce the risk of injury to the eyes, do not look directly 
into the laser beam on the remote control and do not point 
the laser beam into anyone’s eyes. This remote control is 
equipped with a Class II laser that emits radiation.
When the lamp reaches the end of its life, the  projector will not turn back on until the lamp  module has been replaced. To replace the lamp, follow the procedures listed under “Replacing the Lamp” section on page 60.

Eye Safety Warnings
▀■ Avoid staring directly into the projector’s beam of light at all times.
▀■ Minimize standing facing into the beam. Keep your back to the 
beam as much as possible.
▀■ Using a stick or laser pointer is recommended to avoid the need 
for the presenter to enter the beam.
▀■ Ensure that projectors are located out of the line of sight from 
the screen to the audience; this ensures that, when presenters 
look at the audience, they do not also have to stare at the  
projector lamp. The best way to achieve this is by ceiling-
mounting the projector rather than placing it on floor or table 
top.
▀■ When projector is used in a classroom, adequately supervise  
students when they are asked to point out something on the 
screen.
▀■ In order to minimize the lamp power needed, use room blinds 
to reduce ambient light levels.
