Precautions with regard to safety
WARNING
If you notice smoke, strange smells or noise coming from the
projector, disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.
BDo not continue to use the projector in such cases, otherwise fire or
electric shocks could result.
B Check that no more smoke is coming out, and then contact an Authorized
Service Center for repairs.
B Do not attempt to repair the projector yourself, as this can be dangerou\
s.
Do not install this projector in a place which is not strong enough to
take the full weight of the projector.
B If the installation location is not strong enough, it may fall down or t\
ip over,
and severe injury or damage could result.
Installation work (such as ceiling suspension) should only be carried
out by a qualified technician.
B If installation is not carried out correctly, there is the danger that i\
njury or
electric shocks may occur.
If foreign objects or water get inside the projector, or if the projecto\
r is
dropped or the cabinet is broken, disconnect the power cord plug from
the wall outlet.
B Continued use of the projector in this condition may result in fire or e\
lectric
shocks.
B Contact an Authorized Service Center for repairs.
Do not overload the wall outlet.
B If the power supply is overloaded (for example, by using too many
adapters), overheating may occur and fire may result.
Do not remove the cover or modify it in any way.
B High voltages can cause fire or electric shocks.
B For any inspection, adjustment and repair work, please contact an
Authorized Service Center.
Clean the power cord plug regularly to prevent it from becoming
covered in dust.
B If dust builds up on the power cord plug, the resulting humidity can
damage the insulation, which could result in fire. Pull the power cord p\
lug
out from the wall outlet and wipe it with a dry cloth.
B If not using the projector for an extended period of time, pull the powe\
r
cord plug out from the wall outlet.
Do not do anything that might damage the power cord or the power
cord plug.
B Do not damage the power cord, make any modifications to it, place it nea\
r
any hot objects, bend it excessively, twist it, pull it, place heavy obj\
ects on
top of it or wrap it into a bundle. 
						

							
6-ENGLISH
BIf the power cord is used while damaged, electric shocks, short-circuits\
 or
fire may result.
B Ask an Authorized Service Center to carry out any repairs to the power
cord that might be necessary.
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.
B Failure to observe this may result in electric shocks.
Insert the power cord plug securely into the wall outlet.
B If the plug is not inserted correctly, electric shocks or overheating co\
uld
result.
B Do not use plugs which are damaged or mains sockets which are coming
loose from the wall.

used.
B Strong light is emitted from the projector’s lens. If you place direc\
tly into
this light, it can hurt or damage your skin.
Do not place your hands or other objects close to the air outlet port.
B Heated air comes out of the air outlet port. Do not place your hands or
face, or objects which cannot withstand heat close to this port [allow a\
t
least 15 cm (6˝ ) of space], otherwise burns or damage could result.
Replacement of the lamp should only be carried out by a qualified
technician.
B The lamp has high internal pressure. If improperly handled, explosion
might result.
B The lamp can easily become damaged if struck against hard objects or
dropped, and injury or malfunctions may result.
When replacing the lamp, allow it to cool for at least one hour before
handling it.
B The lamp cover gets very hot, and touching it can cause burns.
Before replacing the lamp, be sure to disconnect the power cord plug
from the wall outlet.
B Electric shocks or explosions can result if this is not done.
Caution
Do not cover the air inlet port or the air outlet port.
BDoing so may cause the projector to overheat, which can cause fire or
damage to the projector.
B Do not place the projector in narrow, badly ventilated places such as
closets or bookshelves.
B Do not place the projector on cloth or papers, as these materials could \
be
drawn into the air inlet port.
Do not set up the projector in humid or dusty places or in places where
the projector may come into contact with smoke or steam.
B Using the projector under such conditions may result in fire or electric\
shocks.
When disconnecting the power cord, hold the plug, not the cord.
B If the mains lead itself is pulled, the lead will become damaged, and fi\
re,
short-circuits or serious electric shocks may result. 
						

							
8-ENGLISH
Always disconnect all cables before moving the projector.
BMoving the projector with cables still attached can damage the cables,
which could cause fire or electric shocks to occur.
Do not place any heavy objects on top of the projector.
B Failure to observe this may cause the projector to become unbalanced
and fall, which could result in damage or injury.
Do not short-circuit, heat or disassemble the batteries or place them
into water or fire.
B Failure to observe this may cause the batteries to overheat, leak, explo\
de
or catch fire, and burns or other injury may result.
When inserting the batteries, make sure the polarities (+ and -) are
correct.
B
If the batteries are inserted incorrectly, they may explode or leak, and\
 fire, injury
or contamination of the battery compartment and surrounding area may res\
ult.
Use only the specified batteries.
B
If incorrect batteries are used, they may explode or leak, and fire, inj\
ury or
contamination of the battery compartment and surrounding area may result\
.
Do not mix old and new batteries.
B If the batteries are inserted incorrectly, they may explode or leak, and\
 fire,
injury or contamination of the battery compartment and surrounding area
may result.
Do not put your weight on this projector.
B You could fall or the projector could break, and injury may result.
B Be especially careful not to let young children stand or sit on the proj\
ector.
If not using the projector for an extended period of time, disconnect th\
e
power cord plug from the wall outlet.
B If dust builds up on the mains plug, the resulting humidity may damage
the insulation, which could result in fire.
B This projector continues to draw approximately 3 W of power even when
the power is turned off.
Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet as a safety
precaution before carrying out any cleaning.
B Electric shocks can result if this is not done.
If the lamp has broken, ventilate the room immediately. Do not touch or
bring your face close to the broken pieces.
B Failure to observe this may 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 may
cause injury.
B If you believe that you have absorbed the gas or that the gas has got in\
to
your eyes or mouth, seek medical advice immediately.
B Ask your dealer to replace the lamp unit and check the inside of the
projector.
