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 projector. 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 stoves. 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 into your eyes or mouth, seek medical advice immediately. Ask your dealer about replacing the lamp unit and check the inside of the projector. CAUTIONS WHEN TRANSPORTING When transporting the projector, the leg adjusters must be housed and do not hold them. When transporting, keep the projector with the lens cover on it.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. CAUTIONS WHEN INSTALLING DO NOT USE UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS. Do not set up the projector outdoors. • The projector is designed for indoor use only. Avoid setting up in places which are subject to • vibration or shocks. If the projector is installed in a place where vibrations are transmitted or mounted in a car or a vessel, vibrations or impacts will result in damage to the internal parts, causing failure. Install the product in a place free from vibrations and impacts. Avoid setting up in places which are subject to • sudden temperature changes, such as near an air conditioner or lighting equipment. Failure to observe this will result in malfunctions or the lamp life will be shortened. See “TEMP INDICATOR” on page 43 . Avoid setting up in places which are near high- • voltage power lines or near motors. The product will be exposed to interference if it is installed in the vicinity of high-voltage electrical power lines or power sources. • Do not install the projector at elevations higher than 2 700 m (8 858 ft) above sea level. If using this projector at high elevations 1 400 - 2 700 m (4 593 - 8 858 ft) above sea level, set the HIGH ALTITUDE MODE to ON. If using this projector at elevations lower than 1 400 m (4 593 ft) above sea level, set the HIGH ALTITUDE MODE to OFF.

Essential information 8 ENGLISH Precautions with regard to safety (continued) CAUTIONS ON USE IN ORDER TO GET THE PICTURE QUALITY 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. Depending on where the projector is used, air exhaust vents or the warm air from air conditioning can cause a shimmering effect on the screen. For this reason, take care not to shield the air exhaust vents and consider the direction of the air flowing from air conditioning. 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 standard 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. • The lamp may explode or shorten the lamp life by • shocks or chipping damage. In rare cases, it may burst shortly after the first use. • The possibility of its bursting increases when the lamp • is used beyond the replacement time. If the lamp bursts, gas inside the lamp is released in • the form of smoke. The life of a mercury lamp varies according to the • individual difference or conditions of use. In particular, turning the power on and off frequently • and/or repeatedly as well as continuous use for 10 hours will greatly affect the life cycle. Provide a lamp for replacement in advance. 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 cable. OPTICAL COMPONENTS It may be necessary to replace the optical components such as Liquid crystal panels and Polarizing plates in less than 1 year if using the projector in a high temperature environment or in a very dusty, oily smoke or tobacco smoke environment. For more details, please contact your dealer. LIQUID CRYSTAL PANEL The Liquid crystal panels are precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always lit, but this is not a malfunction. Do not project the same image for long periods of time, as this may remain as an afterimage on the liquid crystal panel. Display the white screen test pattern for more than an hour to remove it. See “TEST PATTERN” on page 3 9. SECURITY TAKE SAFETY MEASURES AGAINST FOLLOWING INCIDENTS.
