CAUTION:Please read all of these instructions before you operate
your projector. Save these instructions for future reference.
Electric energy can perform many useful functions.
This projector has been engineered and manufactured to meet applicable safety standards. IMPROPER USE CAN RESULT IN
POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARDS. In order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated into this projector,
observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.
1.    Unplug the projector from the wall outlet before cleaning or
lamp replacement.
2.    Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a soft
dry cloth to clean the projector unit. If the unit is very dirty,
wet a cloth with neutral detergent, squeeze it tight, wipe
the unit with it, and finish by wiping with a dry cloth.
Do not use a chemical duster or polisher-cleaner because it can
adversely affect the unit and peel the paint.
3.    Do not use attachments not recommended by PHILIPS, as
they may cause hazards.
4.    Do not use the projector near water- for example, near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, near a swimming pool, etc. Never spill liquid
into the projector.
5.    Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or
table. The projector may fall, which may cause serious
injury to a child or an adult and/or serious damage to the
unit. Use only with a cart or stand recommended by its
manufacturer as being suitable for use with a projector.
6.    Ceiling, wall or shelf mounting should be done with a
mounting kit approved by the manufacturer for use with a
projector and should follow the manufacturers instructions.
7.    Projector equipment and cart combinations should be
moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the equipment and cart combination to 
overturn.
8.    Slots and openings of the cabinet are provided for ventilation.
To ensure reliable operation of the projector  and to protect it
from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or
covered. These openings should never be covered with cloth
or other material. The bottom opening should not be blocked
by placing the projector on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. The projector should not be placed near or over a
radiator or heating vent. The projector should not be placed in a
built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation
is provided.
9.    The projector should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the bottom of the projector or in
the specifications and with the appropriate power cord. If
you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your
business or the right type of power cord, consult your
projector dealer or local power company.
10. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not place
the projector where the cord will be walked on.
11. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the
projector. 
12. As a safety feature, this projector is equipped with the power
cord with a 3-pin grounded plug (for USA-versions only) or a 2-
pin grounded plug (for European versions only). The 3-
pin/2-pin grounded plug will fit only into a grounding type
power outlet. If the plug does not fit, use an adapter that is
properly grounded or have an electrician install a grounded
type outlet. Do not attempt to modify this AC plug.13. For added protection of the projector during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended or not in use for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect any cable systems. This will prevent damage to
the projector due to lightning and power-line surges.
14. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords with too
many products, because this can cause a fire or electric
shock.
15. Never push objects of any kind into the projector through
cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points
or short cut parts, which could result in a fire or electric
shock.
16.Do not attempt to service the projector yourself other than
maintenance issues presented in section  Maintenance.
Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
17. Unplug the projector from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
A. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
B. If liquid has been spilled into the projector.
C. If the projector has been exposed to rain or water.
D.If the projector does not operate normally when you
follow the operating instructions. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating instructions;
improper adjustment of other controls may cause
damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the projector to normal
operation.
E.If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has
been damaged.
F. When the projector exhibits a distinct change in
performance – (this indicates a need for service).
18. Upon completion of any service or repairs to the projector,
ask the service technician to perform a routine safety check
to check that the projector is in safe operating condition.
19. When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the
original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
20. It is recommended to clean the air filter after every 100
lamp hours. The projector may become too hot if the filter
is not cleaned when required.
21. If the lens becomes dirty or smudged, clean it with a clean,
dampened cloth. Never touch the lens with your fingers.
22. Do not look directly into the aperture and lens while
operating the projector as this may damage your eyes.

1.Important Safeguards
CAUTION CONCERNING THE SETUP OF THE  PROJECTOR
For minimal servicing and to maintain high image quality,
Philips recommends that this projector be installed in an
area free from humidity, dust and cigarettesmoke. If the
projector is used in these environments, the lens and filters
will need to be cleaned (or the filter replaced) more often,
and internal cleaning may become necessary. As long as
the projector is regularly cleaned, use in these environ-
ments will not reduce the overall operation life of the unit.
Internal cleaning should only be performed by a Philips
Authorised LCD Projector Dealer or Service Centre. 
NOTES ON OPERATION
– The exhaust vent, the lamp cage cover and adjacent
areas may be extremely hot during projector operation.
To prevent injury, do not touch these areas until they
have sufficiently cooled. 
– Do not put any flammable object or spray can near the
projector. Hot air is exhausted from the ventilation holes. 
Note:
The cooling fan regulates the internal temperature, and its
performance is automatically controlled. The sound of the fan
may  change during projector operation due to changes in the fan
speed. 
– Provide appropriate space on the top, sides and rear of
the projector cabinet for allowing air circulation and cool-
ing the projector. Minimum clearance must maintained. If
the projector is to be built into a compartment or similarly
enclosed, the minimum distances must be maintained.
Do not cover the ventilation slot on the projector. Heat
build-up can reduce the service life of your projector, and
can also be dangerous.

INSTALLING THE PROJECTOR IN THE PROPER POSITION.
Do not tilt the projector more than 20 degrees to either side.
Do not point the projector up to project an image. 
Do not point the projector down to project an image. 
Do not put the projector on either side to project an image. 
Install the projector properly. Improper Installation may reduce the lamp lifetime and cause a fire hazard.
