							 rCautions when setting the projectors
 fDo not stack the projectors.
 fDo not use the projector supporting it by the top.
 fDo not block the ventilation ports (intake and exhaust) of the projector.
 fAvoid heating and cooling air from the air conditioning system directly blow to the ventilation ports (intake and exhaust) of 
the projector.
 fDo not install the projector in a confined space.  
When placing the projector in a confined space, a ventilation and/or air conditioning system is required. Exhaust heat may 
accumulate when the ventilation is not enough, triggering the protection\
 circuit of the projector.
Security
Take safety measures against following incidents.
 fPersonal information being leaked via this product.
 fUnauthorized operation of this product by a malicious third party.
 fInterfering or stopping of this product by a malicious third party.
Security instruction (Æ pages 82, 89, 105)

Chapter 1   Preparation - Precautions for use  
						

							Cautions on use
 rTo get a good picture quality
 fDraw curtains or blinds over windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indo\
or 
lamps from shining onto the screen.
 fDepending on where the projector is used, heated air from an exhaust port or warm or cold air from an air conditioner can 
cause a shimmering effect on screen. 
Avoid use in locations where exhaust or streams of air from projector, other devices and air conditioners flow between the 
projector and the screen.
 fThe lens of projector is affected by the heat from the luminous source. Because of this, the focusi\
ng may not be stable right 
after the power is turned on. Focusing is stabled after projecting image for 30 minutes and longer.
 rDo 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.
Attach the supplied lens cap to the projection lens when you do not use \
the projector.
 rLCD Panel
The display unit of this projector comprises three LCD panels. Although an LCD panel is a product of high-precision 
technology, some of the pixels on the projected image may be missing or constantly lit. Please note that this is not a 
malfunction. 
Displaying a still image for a longer time may result in an after-image on the LCD panels. If this happens, display the all white 
screen in the test pattern for an hour or more.
 rOptical components
Operating the projector in an environment with high temperature or heavy exposure to dust or tobacco smoke will reduce the 
service life of the optical components, such as the LCD panel and polarizing plate, and may necessitate their replacement 
within less than one year of use. For details, consult your dealer.
 rLamp
The luminous source of the projector is a mercury lamp with high interna\
l pressure.
A high pressure mercury lamp has following characteristics.
 fThe brightness of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.
 fThe lamp may burst with sound or shorten life by shock or chipping.
 fThe life of the lamp varies greatly depending on individual specificities and usage conditions. In particular , continuous use 
over 12 hours and frequent on/off switching of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and affect the lamp life.
 fIn rare cases, the lamp burst shortly after the projection.
 fThe risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacem\
ent cycle. Make sure to replace the lamp unit 
consistently. (“When to replace the lamp unit” (Æ page 118))
 fIf the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in a fo\
rm of smoke.
 fIt is recommended to store replacement lamps for contingency.
 fIt is recommended to have authorized engineer or your dealer replace the lamp unit.

							Notes on Using Wireless Connection
Wireless connection function of the projector uses radio waves in the 2.4 GHz / 5.0 GHz band.
A radio station license is not required, but be sure to read and fully un\
derstand the following items before use.
 rDo not use near other wireless equipment.
The following equipment may use radio waves in the same band as the proj\
ector.
When the projector is used near these devices, radio wave interference may make communication impossible, or the 
communication speed may become slower.
 fMicrowave ovens, etc.
 fIndustrial, chemical and medical equipment, etc.
 fIn-plant radio stations for identifying moving objects such as those used in factory manufacturing lines, etc.
 fDesignated low-power radio stations
 r 
If at all possible, avoid the use of cellular phones, TV sets or radios \
near the projector.
Cellular phones, TV sets, radios and similar devices use different radio bands from the projector, so there is no effect on 
wireless communication or the transmission and reception of these device\
s. However, radio waves from the projector may 
produce audio or video noise.
 r 
Wireless communication radio waves cannot penetrate steel reinforcements,\
 metal, 
concrete, etc.
Communication is possible through walls and floors made from materials such as wood and glass (except glass containing 
wire mesh), but not through walls and floors made from steel reinforcements, metal, concrete, etc.
 r 
Avoid using the projector in locations prone to static electricity.
If the projector is used in a location prone to static electricity, such as on a carpet, the wireless LAN or wired LAN 
connection may be lost. “Glossary” (Æpages 136 – 137)
If this happens, eliminate the source of static electricity or electroma\
gnetic noise and reconnect to the wireless LAN or wired 
LAN.
In rare cases static electricity or electromagnetic noise may make it im\
possible to establish a connection to the LAN.
If this happens, press the power button on the remote control or on the \
projector to power off the projector temporarily.
After  indicator on the projector changes from lighting in orange to lighting or blinking in red, power 
on the projector and reconnect to the LAN.
 rUsing the projector outside the country
 
It is forbidden to take the projector outside the country or region wher\
e you purchased it, so use it only in the said country 
or region. Also, note that depending on countries or regions there are restrictions\
 on the channels and frequencies at which 
you can use the wireless LAN.
 rAvailable wireless LAN channels
 
The channels (frequency range) that can be used differ according to the country or region. Refer to the table below.
Country or regionStandardChannels usedFrequency band (Center frequency)
