Precautions with regard to safety
WARNING
POWER
 
„
The wall outlet or the circuit breaker shall be installed near the equipment and shall be 
easily accessible when problems occur. If the following problems occur, cut off the power  supply immediately.
Continued use of the projector in these conditions will result in fire or electric shock.
If foreign objects or water get inside the projector, cut off the power supply.
 
z
If the projector is dropped or the cabinet is broken, cut off the power supply.
 
z
If you notice smoke, strange smells or noise coming from the projector, cut off the power supply.
 
z
Please contact an Authorized Service Center for repairs, and do not attempt to repair the \
projector yourself.
During a thunderstorm, do not touch the projector or the cable.
Electric shocks can result.
Do not do anything that might damage the power cord or the power plug.
If the power cord is used while damaged, electric shocks, short-circuits or fire will result.
Do not damage the power cord, make any modifications to it, place it near any hot objects, bend it 
 
z
excessively, twist it, pull it, place heavy objects on top of it or wrap it into a \
bundle.
Ask an Authorized Service Center to carry out any repairs to the power cord tha\
t might be necessary.
Insert the power plug securely into the wall outlet.
If the plug is not inserted correctly, electric shocks or overheating will result.
Do not use anything other than the provided power cord.
 
z
Do not use the provided power cord for other electrical equipment.
 
z
Do not use plugs which are damaged or wall outlets which are coming loos\
e from the wall.
 
z
Clean the power plug regularly to prevent it from becoming covered in dust.
Failure to observe this will cause a fire.
If dust builds up on the power plug, the resulting humidity can damage t\
he insulation.
 
z
If not using the projector for an extended period of time, pull the powe\
r plug out from the wall outlet.
 
z
Pull the power plug out from the wall outlet and wipe it with a dry clot\
h regularly.
Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.
Failure to observe this will result in electric shocks.
Do not overload the wall outlet.
If the power supply is overloaded (ex., by using too many adapters), overheating may occur and fire will result.
ON USE/INSTALLATION
 
„
Do not place liquid containers on top of the projector.
If water spills onto the projector or gets inside it, fire or electric shocks will result.
If any water gets inside the projector, contact an Authorized Service Center.
Do not place the projector on soft materials such as carpets or sponge mats.
Doing so will cause the projector to overheat, which can cause burns, fire or damage to the projector
.
Do not set up the projector in humid or dusty places or in places where the projector may 
come into contact with oily smoke or steam, ex. a bathroom.
Using the projector under such conditions will result in fire, electric shocks or components deterioration. 
Components deterioration (such as ceiling mount brackets) may cause th\
e projector which is mounted on the 
ceiling to fall down.
Do not install this projector in a place which is not strong enough to take the full weight of  the projector or on top of a surface which is sloped or unstable.
Failure to observe this will cause projector to fall down or tip over th\
e projector, and severe injury or damage 
could result. 
						

							Precautions with regard to safety
