Important 
Information
Precautions for Use
Cautions when transporting
 
z
Projection lens is susceptible to effects due to vibration or impact. Make sure to remove the lens when transporting.
 
z
When transporting the projector, hold it securely by its bottom and avoid excessive vibration and impac\
ts. 
Doing so may damage the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
 
z
Do not transport the projector with the adjustable feet extended. Doing so may damage the adjustable feet.
Cautions when installing
 
■ After installing the projection lens, make sure to attach the projection\
 
lens cover.
 
z
If the cover is not attached, dust will be accumulated inside and can cause a trouble.
 
■ Do not set up the projector outdoors.
 
z
The projector is designed for indoor use only. 
 
■ Do not use under the following conditions.
 
z
Places where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Doing so may damage the internal 
p
arts and result in malfunctions.
 
z
Near the exhaust of an air conditioner: Depending on the conditions of u\
se, the screen may fluctuate due to the hot 
air from the air exhaust port or the heated or cooled air from the air c\
onditioner. Take care so 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.
 
z
Near lights (studio lamps, etc.)  where temperature changes greatly (Operating environment ( page 105)): 
Doing so may shorten the life of the lamp or result in deformation of th\
e outer case and malfunctions.
 
z
Near high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector.
 
z
Place where there is a high-power laser equipment: It may cause malfunction in DLP 
 chips when the laser 
beam enters the lens.
 
■ Be sure to ask a specialized technician when installing the product to a\
 ceiling.
If the product is to be installed hanging from the ceiling, purchase an \
optional Ceiling Mount Attachment (For 
high ceilings: Model No. ET-PKD56H, For low ceilings: Model No. ET-PKD55S). Please call a specialized 
technician or contact an A
 uthorized Service Center for installation.
 
■ Lens Focus
Do not adjust the lens focus in the initial period after switching the projector on. 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. Please allow a warm-up time of at least 30 minutes before adjusting the lens focus.
 
■ Make sure to set [HIGH A LTITUDE MODE] to [ON] when using the 
projector at elevations of 1 400 m (4 593 ft) or higher and lower than\
 
2 700 m (8 858 ft) above sea level. 
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result i\
n malfunctions.
 
■ Make sure to set [HIGH ALTITUDE MODE] to [OFF] when using the 
projector at elevations lower than 1 400 m (4 593 ft) above sea level.\
 
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result i\
n malfunctions.
 
■ Do not install the projector at elevations of 2 700 m (8 858 ft) or hi\
gher 
above sea level.
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result i\
n malfunctions. 
						

							Precautions for Use
ENGLISH - 13
Important 
Information
 
■ Do not use the projector tilted right or left.
Using the projector at a vertical angle that exceeds 15 °
 may reduce product life or result in malfunction.
 
■ When installing and using the projector at an angle that exceeds 30 °
 
vertically, set [COOLING CONDITION] (
 page 62).
Failure to observe this will result in malfunctions or the lamp life or other components will be shortened.
 
■ Cautions when setting the projectors
 
z
When installing and using the projector with a method other than the floor standing installation using the 
adjustable feet, fix the projector using the five screw holes for ceiling mounting (shown in the figure). 
(Screw diameter: M6, tapping depth inside the set: 12 mm)
 
z
Use the adjustable feet only for the floor standing installation and for adjusting the angle. If you use it other 
t

han this purpose, the set may be damaged.
Screw holes for ceiling mount (M6)
Adjustable feet
 
z
Do not stack the projectors.
 
z
Do not use the projector tilted at an angle 
that exceeds  ±
15 °
 vertically.
 
z
Do not block the ventilation ports (intake 
and exhaust) of the projector.
 
z
Avoid heating and cooling air from the air 
conditioning system directly blow to the 
ventilation ports (intake and exhaust) of the 
projector.
+15°
–15°
over 500 mm (20) over 500 mm (20)over 500 mm (20)
over 100 mm (4)
 
z
Do not install the projector in a confined space. 
When it is necessary to install in a confined space, install the air conditioning or ventilating installation 
separately. Exhaust heat may accumulate when the ventilation is not enough, triggering the protection 
circuit of the projector.
 
z
Make a clearance of at least 20 mm between the projector bottom and setting surface by inserting spacers 
(metallic) etc. between them.

							Precautions for Use
ENGLISH - 15
Important 
Information
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.
 
■ Do not touch the surface of the projection lens with your bare hands. 
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 lens cover (accessory) on the projecto\
r when you do not use it.
 
■ DLP chips
 
z
The DLP chips are precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high preci\
sion could be missing or 
always lit, but this is not a malfunction.
 
z
Directing a high power laser beam onto the lens surface can damage the DLP chip.
 
■ Do not move the projector while it is operating or subject it to vibration 
o
r impact.
The service life of its internal motor will be shortened.
 
■ Lamp
The luminous source of the projector is a mercury lamp with high internal pressure.
A high pressure mercury lamp has following characteristics.
 
z
The brightness of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.
 
z
The lamp may burst with sound or shorten life by shock or chipping.
 
z
The life of the lamp varies greatly depending on individual specificities and usage conditions. In particular,
  
continuous use over 22 hours and frequent on/off switching of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and 
affect the lamp life.
 
z
Lamp deterioration accelerates when used continuously for 22 hours or more. Lamp deterioration due to 
continuous use can be reduced by using the   LAMP RELAY¡ function (
 page 63).
 
z
In rare cases, the lamp burst shortly after the projection.
 
z
T

he risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace \
the lamp unit consistently. ( “
When to replace the lamp unit ”
 (
 page 91),  “
Replacing the lamp unit ”
 ( page 92))
 
z
If the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in a fo\
rm of smoke.
 
z
It is recommended to store replacement lamps for contingency.
