Introduction
When turning off the projector, the cooling fan
runs to decrease the internal temperature for
a while. Unplug the power cord after the cool-
ing fan stops. The period the cooling fan runs
will vary, depending on the circumstances and
the internal temperature.
Caution regarding usage of the projector

When using the projector, take care not to
subject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as
this can result in damage. Take extra care with
the lens. 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.

 When storing the projector, ensure you at-
tach the lens cap. (See page  11).

 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 pro-
jector and the equipment to be connected for
instructions on how to make the connections.
Info
•The cooling fan regulates the internal tem-
perature, 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 malfunc-
tion.
• Do not unplug the power cord during projec-
tion or cooling fan operation. This can cause
damage due to rise in internal temperature,
as the cooling fan also stops.
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 projector star ts to overheat due to setup
problems or blockage of the air vents, “
” and
“”  will illuminate in the lower left corner
of the picture. If the temperature continues to
rise, the lamp will tur n off, the temperature warn-
ing indicator on the projector will blink, and after
a 90-second cooling-off per iod the projector will
enter standby mode. Refer to “Maintenance In-
dicators” on page  50 for details.

• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
• Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the m and n marks inside the battery
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 fluid from leaked batteries is harmful to skin, therefore ensure you wipe them first 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.
Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode. Please
follow the precautions below.
