Important  
Information
CAUTION
POWER
 
„
When disconnecting the power cord, be sure to hold the power plug and power connector.
If the power cord itself is pulled, the lead will become damaged, and fire, short-circuits or serious electric shocks 
will result.
When not using the projector for an extended period of time, disconnect the power plug 
from the wall outlet and remove the batteries from the remote control.
Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet before carrying out any cleaning.
Electric shocks can result if this is not done.
ON USE/INSTALLATION
 
„
Do not put your weight on this projector.
You could fall or the projector could break, and injury will result.
Be especially careful not to let young children stand or sit on the proj\
ector.
 
z
Do not place the projector in extremely hot locations.
Doing so will cause the outer casing or internal components to deteriorate, or result in fire.
Take particular care in locations exposed to direct sunlight or near stov\
es.
 
z
Always disconnect all cables before moving the projector.
Moving the projector with cables still attached can damage the cables, which will cause fire or electric shocks to 
occur.
ACCESSORIES
 
„
Do not use the old lamp unit.
If used it could cause lamp explosion.
If the lamp has broken, ventilate the room immediately. Do not touch or bring your face 
close to the broken pieces.
Failure to observe this will cause the user to absorb the gas which was \
released when the lamp broke and which 
contains nearly the same amount of mercury as fluorescent lamps, and the broken pieces will cause injury .
If you believe that you have absorbed the gas or that the gas has got in\
to your eyes or mouth, seek medical 
 
z
advice immediately.
Ask your dealer about replacing the lamp unit and check the inside of th\
e projector.
 
z
Cautions when transporting
Please take care to keep them away from vibration and impacts, both the \
projector and the lens are precision-
made and easily susceptible to damage.
When transporting the projector, the leg adjusters must be housed and do not hold them. Please securely\
 hold 
only its bottom and none of its other parts or surfaces as this will res\
ult in malfunctions.

Failure to observe this will result in malfunctions or the lamp life or \
other components will be shortened.
Lens Focus
 
„
Do not adjust the lens focus in the initial period after switching the p\
rojector on. The high clarity projector lens is 
thermally affected by the light from the light source, making the focus unstable in \
the period just after switching 
on. Please allow a warm-up time of at least 30 minutes before adjusting \
the lens focus.
Be sure to ask a specialized technician when installing the product to a 
 
„
ceiling.
If the product is to be installed hanging from the ceiling, purchase an \
optional Ceiling Mount Attachment (For high 
ceilings: Model No. ET-PKD110H, For low ceilings: Model No. ET-PKD110S). Please call a specialized technician

							Precautions with regard to safety
ENGLISH - 15
Important  
Information
 
„
Do not touch the surface of the projector lens with your bare hand.
If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected 
onto the screen. Please put the lens cover on the projector when you do \
not use it.
Do not move the projector while it is operating or subject it to vibration or 
 
„
impact.
The service life of its internal components will be shortened.
The projector has a high pressure mercury lamp that is characterized as 
 
„
follows:
The brightness of the lamp will decrease over time.
 
z
The lamp may explode or shorten the lamp life by shocks or chipping dama\
ge.
 
z
In rare cases, it may burst shortly after the first use.
 
z
The possibility of its bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond t\
he replacement time.
 
z
If the lamp bursts, gas inside the lamp is released in the form of smoke\
.
 
z
The life of a mercury lamp varies according to the individual difference or conditions of use.
 
z
In particular, turning the power on and off frequently and/or repeatedly as well as continuous use for 22 hours 
 
z
will greatly affect the life cycle. Provide a lamp for replacement in advance.
Lamp deterioration accelerates when used continuously for 22 hours or mo\
re.
 
z
Connection to external device
 
„
When connecting the projector to a computer or external device, use the \
power cord supplied with the 
corresponding device and a commercially available shielded interface cab\
le.
Optical components
 
„
It may be necessary to replace the optical components such as DLP chips and Polarizing plates in less than 1 
year if using the projector in a high temperature environment or in a ve\
ry dusty, oily smoke or tobacco smoke 
environment. For more details, please contact your dealer.
DLP chips
 
„
The DLP chips are precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high preci\
sion could be missing or always lit, 
but this is not a malfunction. Please take note that directing a laser b\
eam onto the lens surface can damage the 
DMD element.
Cleaning and maintenance
Ask an Authorized Service Center to clean the inside of the projector at 
 
„
least two years.
If dust is left to build up inside the projector without being cleaned out, it can result in fire or problems with 
operation. It is a good idea to clean the inside of the projector before\
 the season when humid weather arrives.
Ask your nearest Authorized Service Center to clean the projector when required.
Please discuss with the Authorized Service Center regarding cleaning costs.
Be sure to remove the power plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.
 
z
Use soft and dry cloth to clean the cabinet.
 
z
Use a soft cloth moistened in warm water to clean away oil. Do not use s\
olvents such as benzene, thinner, 
and alcohol, detergents for kitchens, or a chemical cloth. If using such\
 solvents, the outer case will become 
deformed, and the paint may peel off.
Do not clean the lens surface with fuzzy or dusty cloths.
 
z
If dust adheres to the lens, it will be magnified and projected on the screen. Use a soft and clean cloth to wipe 
off dust.
