Precautions for use
Cautions when transporting
 fIf you purchased the projector with the standard zoom lens, remove the lens cushion before use, and store it for the future 
use. When transporting the projector
, move the lens position to the home position and attach the lens cushion.
If you purchased the projector with the lens sold separately, remove the lens hole cover before use, and store it for the future 
use. When transporting the projector, move the lens position to the home position, remove the projection lens, and then 
attach the lens hole cover.
For the steps to move the lens to the home position, refer to “Moving the lens to the home position” ( x
  page   59).
Lens hole cover
Lens cushion
 f When transporting the projector , hold it securely by its bottom and avoid excessive vibration and impacts.  They may damage 
the internal components and result in malfunctions.
 f Do not transport the projector with the adjustable feet extended. Doing so may damage the adjustable feet.
Cautions when installing
 rAfter attachment of the projection lens, be sure to attach the Lens Moun\
t Cover .
Otherwise dust will accumulate inside and may cause malfunctions.
 rDo not set up the projector outdoors.
The projector is designed for indoor use only.
 rDo not set up the projector in the following locations.
 fPlaces where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Doing so may cause damage to internal components 
or malfunction.
 fNear the exhaust of an air conditioner: Depending on the conditions of use, the screen may fluctuate in rare cases due 
to the heated air from the air exhaust port or the hot 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 .
 fPlaces with sharp temperature fluctuations such as near lights (studio lamps): Doing so may shorten the life of the lamp, or 
result in deformation of the outer case due to heat, which may cause malfunctions.
The operating environment temperature of the projector should be between 0

  °C (32   °F) and 45   °C (113   °F) when using it at 
elevations lower than 1
  400   m (4   593') above sea level, and between 0   °C (32   °F) and 40   °C (104   °F) when using it at high 
altitudes (1
  400   m (4   593') or higher – lower than 2   700   m (8   858') above sea level). If you use the Replacement lamp unit 
(for portrait mode), the operating environment temperature should be between 0
  °C (32   °F) and 40   °C (104   °F) when using 
the projector at elevations lower than 1
  400   m (4   593') above sea level, and between 0   °C (32   °F) and 35   °C (95   °F) when 
using the projector at high altitudes.
 f Near high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector .
 fPlaces where there is high-power laser equipment: Directing a laser beam onto the projection lens surface causes damage 
to the DLP

 chips.
 rBe sure to ask a specialized technician or your dealer when installing t\
he projector on 
a ceiling.
The optional Ceiling Mount Bracket is required.
Model No.: ET
-

PKD120H (for high ceilings), ET

							Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use
ENGLISH - 17
 rThe projector may not work properly due to strong radio wave from the br\
oadcast 
station or the radio.
If there is any facility or equipment, which outputs strong radio wave, near the installation location, install the projector at a 
location sufficiently far from the source of the radio wave. Or, wrap the LAN cable connected to the  
terminal by using a piece of metal foil or a metal pipe, of which is grounded at both ends.
 rFocus adjustment
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.
 rMake sure to set [HIGH  ALTITUDE MODE] to [ON] when using the projector at 
elevations between 1   400   m (4   593') and 2   700   m (8   858') above sea level.

							Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use
ENGLISH - 19
Cautions on use
 rTo 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.
 rDo 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.
Attach the supplied lens cover to the projection lens of the projector or an optional projection lens when you do not use the 
projector.
 rDLP chips
 fThe DLP chips are precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always lit. Note that 
such phenomena do not indicate malfunction.
 f Directing a high-power laser beam onto the projection lens surface can damage the DLP  chips.
 rDo not move the projector or subject it to vibration or impact while it \
is operating.
Doing so may shorten the life of the built-in motor.
 rLamp
The light source of the projector is a high-pressure mercury lamp.
A high-pressure mercury lamp has the following characteristics.
 fThe luminance of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.
 fThe lamp may burst with a loud sound or have its service life shortened because of shock, chipping, or degradation due to 
cumulative runtime.
 fThe lamp life varies greatly depending on individual dif

ferences and usage conditions. In particular, frequent on/off switching 
of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and affects the lamp life.
 f Continuous use for over one week will deteriorate the lamp. 

The degradation of the lamp due to continuous use can be 
reduced by using the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [LAMP RELAY].
 f In rare cases, the lamps burst shortly after projection starts.
 fThe 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” ( x
  page   161), “How to replace the lamp unit” (x
  page   162))
 fIf the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in the form of smoke.
 fIt is recommended that you store the Replacement lamp unit as a contingency .
 rComputer and external device connections
 fWhen connecting a computer or an external device, read this manual carefully regarding the use of power cords and 
shielded cables as well.
 fT

o assure continued performance and FCC compliance,use only high quality DVI-D interface cable with two ferrite cores for 
connecting with the  terminal.
 r Viewing 3D images
The projector can display 3D video signals that are input through various systems such as “frame packing” and “side by 
side.” In addition, the projector corresponds to DLP Link system 3D eyewear. However, not all the 3D eyewear operations are 
warranted.
You are required to prepare external devices for viewing 3D images (such as 3D eyewear, video signal output devices) which 
are suitable for your 3D system. For connections of the projector and external devices, they are dif ferent depends on the 3D 
system to be used, see the operating instructions of external devices you use.
Refer to “List of 3D compatible signals” ( x
