							WARNING:
Do not disassemble the lamp unit.
If the lamp breaks, it could cause injury.
Lamp replacement
The lamp has high internal pressure. If improperly handled, an explosion and severe injury or accidents will 
result.
The lamp can easily explode if struck against hard objects or dropped. z
Before replacing the lamp, be sure to disconnect the power plug from the\
 wall outlet.  z
Electric shocks or explosions can result if this is not done.
When replacing the lamp, turn the power off and allow the lamp it to cool for at least 1 hour before handling  z
it otherwise it can cause burns.
Do not allow infants or pets to touch the remote control unit.
Keep the remote control unit out of the reach of infants and pets after using it. z
Do not use the supplied power cord with devices other than this projecto\
r.
Using the supplied power cord with devices other than this projector may\
 cause short circuits or overheat- z
ing, and result in electric shock or fire.
Remove the depleted batteries from the remote control promptly.
Leaving them in the unit may result in fluid leakage, overheating, or explosion of the batteries. z
CAUTION:
POWER „
When disconnecting the power cord, be sure to hold the power plug and po\
wer connector.
If the power cord itself is pulled, the lead will become damaged, and fire, short-circuits or serious electric 
shocks will result.
When not using the projector for an extended period of time, disconnect \
the power plug from the wall 
outlet and remove the batteries from the remote control.
Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet before carrying out any c\
leaning and replacing the unit.
Electric shocks can result if this is not done.
ON USE/INSTALLATION „
Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector.
Failure to observe this will cause the projector to become unbalanced and fall, which could result in damage or 
injury. The projector will be damaged or deformed.
Do not put your weight on this projector.
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 proj\
ector. z
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. z
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.
Never plug headphones and earphones into VARIABLE AUDIO OUT jack.
Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.
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 in\
to your eyes or mouth, seek medical  z
advice immediately.
Ask your dealer about replacing the lamp unit and check the inside of th\
e projector. z
