							Precautions for use
14 - ENGLISH
Important 
Information
Precautions for use
Cautions when transporting
 z The projection lens is susceptible to ef
fects from vibration or impact. Make sure to remove the lens when 
transporting. Use a protective cover to avoid the effects of dust to the set or projection lens.
 z When transporting the projector

, hold it securely by its bottom and avoid excessive vibration and impacts.  They 
may damage the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
 z Do not transport the projector with the adjustable feet extended. Doing so may damage the adjustable feet.
Cautions when installing
 ■ Always attach the projection lens cover after attaching the projection lens.
If the cover is not attached, dust will accumulate inside and may cause malfunctions.
 ■Do not set up the projector outdoors.
The projector is designed for indoor use only.
 ■Do not set up the projector in the following locations.
▶z
Places where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Doing so may cause damage to 
internal parts or malfunction.
▶zN

ear the exhaust of an air conditioner: Depending on the conditions of use, the screen may fluctuate in rare 
cases due to the hot air from the air exhaust port or the heated or cooled air . Make sure that the exhaust 
from the projector or other equipment, or the air from the air conditioner does not blow toward the front of 
the projector.
▶z Near lights (studio lamps, etc.) and other locations of great temperature fluctuation (“Operating 
environment” (
 page 123)): Doing so may shorten the life of the lamp or result in deformation of the outer 
case and malfunctions.
▶z Near high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector
.
▶zPlace where there is high-power laser equipment: Directing a laser beam onto the lens surface causes 
damage to the DLP

 chips.
 ■ Be sure to ask a specialized technician or your dealer when installing the 
product to a ceiling.
If the product is to be installed hanging from the ceiling, purchase an optional Ceiling Mount  Attachment.
Model No.: ET-PKD56H (for high ceilings), ET-PKD55S (for low ceilings)
 ■ Lens focus
The high clarity projection lens is thermally affected by the light from the light source, making the focus 
unstable in the period just after switching on the power. Wait at least 30 minutes with the image projected 
before adjusting the lens focus.
 ■Make sure to set [HIGH ALTITUDE MODE] to [ON] when using the projector 
at elevations of 1 400 m (4 593 ft) or higher and lower than 2 700 m (8 858 ft) 
above sea level.
Doing so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
 ■ Make sure to set [HIGH ALTITUDE MODE] to [OFF] when using the projector 
at elevations lower than 1 400 m (4 593 ft) above sea level.
Doing so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
 ■ Do not install the projector at elevations of 2 700 m (8 858 ft) or higher above 
sea level.
Doing so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
 ■ Do not use the projector tilted to the right or left.
Using the projector at a vertical angle that exceeds 15° may reduce product life or result in malfunction.
 ■When installing and using the projector at an angle that exceeds 30° 
vertically, set [COOLING CONDITION] (
 page 69).
Failure to observe this will result in malfunctions or shorten the life of the lamp or other components. 
						

							Precautions for use
ENGLISH - 15
Important 
Information
 ■ Cautions when setting up the projector
▶z
To install and use the projector via a method that does not use the adjustable feet in a floor standing 
installation, fix the projector using the five screw holes for ceiling mounting (as shown in the diagram).
(Screw diameter: M6, tapping depth inside the set: 12 mm (15/32"), torque: 4 ± 0.5 N·m)
▶z Use the adjustable feet only for the floor standing installation and for adjusting the angle. Using it for other 
purposes may damage the set.
Screw holes for ce\Miling mount (M\f)
Ad\bustable feet
▶zDo not stack projectors on top of each other

.
▶z Do not use the projector tilted at an angle that exceeds ±15° from the horizontal plane.
▶zDo not block the ventilation ports (intake and exhaust) of the projector
.
▶zPrevent hot and cool air from the air conditioning system to blow directly to the ventilation ports (intake and 
exhaust) of the projector

.
500 mm (20) or lo\
nger 500 mm (20) or lo\
nger500 mm (20) or lo\
nger
100 mm (4) or longer
▶zDo not install the projector in a confined space.
When it is necessary to install the projector in a confined space, install the air conditioning or ventilation 
separately
. Exhaust heat may accumulate when the ventilation is not enough, triggering the protection 
circuit of the projector.
▶z Make a clearance of at least 20 mm (0.8") between the projector bottom and setting surface by inserting 
spacers (metallic) etc. between them.

methods of disposal. 
						

							Precautions for use
ENGLISH - 17
Important 
Information
Cautions on use
 ■ To get a good picture quality
In order to view a beautiful image in higher contrast, prepare an appropriate environment. Draw curtains or 
blinds over windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor lamps 
from shining onto the screen.
 ■Do not touch the surface of the projection lens with your bare hands.
If the surface of the projection lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and 
projected onto the screen. Please put the lens cover (accessory) on the projector when you do not use it.
 ■DLP chips
▶z
The DLP  chips are precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or 
always lit. Note that such phenomena does not indicate malfunction.
▶z Directing a high-power laser beam onto the lens surface can damage the DLP
 chips.
 ■Do not move the projector while it is operating or subject it to vibration or 
impact.
Doing so may shorten the service life of its internal components.
 ■ Lamp
The luminous source of the projector is a high-pressure mercury lamp.
A high-pressure mercury lamp has the following characteristics.
▶z
The luminance of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.
▶zThe lamp may burst with a loud sound or have its service life shortened because of shock, chipping, or 
degradation due to cumulative operating time.
▶zThe lamp life varies greatly depending on individual dif

ferences and usage conditions. In particular, 
frequently switching the power on/off accelerates lamp deterioration and greatly affects lamp life.
▶z Continuous use for over 1 week will deteriorate the lamp. 

The degradation of the lamp due to continuous 
usage can be reduced by lamp relay function. (
 page 70)
▶z In rare cases, the lamps burst shortly after projection starts.
▶zThe risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace 
the lamp unit regularly

.
(“When to replace the lamp unit” (
 page 108), “Replacing the lamp unit” ( page 109))
▶z If the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in a form of smoke.
▶zIt is recommended that you store replacement lamp units for contingency
.
