IntroductionCaution regarding usage of the projector
If you are not to use the projector for a long 
time or before moving the projector, make 
certain you unplug the power cord from the 
wall outlet, and disconnect any other 
cables connected to it.
Do not carry the projector by holding the 
lens.
Do not expose the projector to direct 
sunlight or place next to heat sources. 
Doing so may affect the cabinet color or 
cause deformation of the plastic cover.
Other connected equipment
When connecting a computer or other 
audio-visual equipment to the projector, 
make the connections AFTER unplugging 
the power cord of the projector from the 
AC outlet and turning off the equipment to 
be connected.
Please read the operation manuals of the 
projector and the equipment to be 
connected for instructions on how to make 
the connections.
Using the projector in other countries
The power supply voltage and the shape of 
the plug may vary depending on the region 
or country you are using the projector in. 
When using the projector overseas, make 
sure you use an appropriate power cord for 
the country you are in.

Temperature monitor function
If the temperature inside the projector 
increases, due to blockage of the air vents, 
or the setting location, the temperature 
warning indicator will blink. And if the 
temperature keeps on rising, “
” will 
illuminate in the lower left corner of the 
picture with the temperature warning 
indicator blinking. If this state continues, 
the lamp will turn off, the cooling fan will 
run and then the projector will enter 
Standby mode. Refer to “Maintenance 
Indicators” on pages 
54 and 55 for details.
Info
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. This does not indicate malfunction.

IntroductionInserting the Batteries
1  Pull down the tab on the cover and remove the cover towards the direction of the arrow.
2  Insert the batteries.Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match 
the  m and  n marks inside the battery compartment.
3  Insert the lower tab of the cover into the opening, 
and lower the cover until it clicks in place.
Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode. 
Please follow the precautions below
Caution
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with alkaline or manganese batteries.
Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the  m and  n marks inside the batter y 
compartment.
Batteries of different types have different properties, therefore do not mix batteries of different types.
Do not mix new and old batteries. 
This may shorten the life of new batteries or may cause old batteries to leak.Remove the batteries from the remote control once they have run out, as leaving them in can cause them to leak.Battery fl uid from leaked batteries is harmful to skin, therefore ensure you wipe them fi rst and then 
remove them using a cloth.
The batteries included with this projector may run down in a short period, depending on how they are kept. 
Be sure to replace them as soon as possible with new batteries.
Remove the batteries from the remote control if you will not be using the remote control for a long time.
Comply with the rules (ordinance) of each local government when disposing of worn-out batteries.
