    Precautions
    On safety
     Check that the operating voltage of your unit is 
    identical with the voltage of your local power 
    supply.
     Should any liquid or solid object fall into the 
    cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by 
    qualified personnel before operating it further. 
     Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be 
    used for several days. 
     To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never 
    pull the cord itself. 
     The wall outlet should be near the unit and easily 
    accessible. 
     The unit is not disconnected to the AC power source 
    (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, 
    even if the unit itself has been turned off. 
     Do not look into the lens while the lamp is on.
     Do not place your hand or objects near the 
    ventilation holes. The air coming out is hot. 
    On preventing internal heat build-up 
    After you turn off the power with the I/1 (on/standby) 
    switch, do not disconnect the unit from the wall outlet 
    while the cooling fan is still running.
    Caution
    The projector is equipped with ventilation holes 
    (intake) and ventilation holes (exhaust). Do not block 
    or place anything near these holes, or internal heat 
    build-up may occur, causing picture degradation or 
    damage to the projector.
    On repacking
    Save the original shipping carton and packing 
    material; they will come in handy if you ever have to 
    ship your unit. For maximum protection, repack your 
    unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

    Before Setting Up the 
    Projector
    Do not place the projector in the following situations, 
    which may cause malfunction or damage to the 
    projector.
    Poorly ventilated

    Highly heated and humid
    Very dusty and extremely smoky
    Do not use the projector under the following 
    conditions:
    Tilting the unit extremely
    Blocking the ventilation holes
    Tip
    For further details on the location of the ventilation holes (intake 
    or exhaust), see “Location of Controls” on pages 74 to 76.
    Note
    Installing the unit at altitudes
    When using the projector at an altitude of 1,500 m or 
    higher, turn on high altitude mode in the INSTALL 
    SETTING menu. Failing to set this mode when using 
    the projector at high altitudes could have adverse effects, such as reducing the reliability of certain 
    components.
    Using the Optional 
    Conversion Lens
    You can install the following two types of lenses 
    (optional) on the projector. For projection distances 
    when installing the Conversion Lens, see page 67.
     VPLL-CT10 Long Focused Conversion Lens
     VPLL-CW10 Short Focused Conversion Lens
    Follow the steps below to install the Conversion Lens.
    For details on installing the Lens, refer also to the 
    installation manual supplied with the Lens.
    1 Turn off the power and disconnect the 
    power cord.
    2 Remove the lens hood from the projector’s 
    lens, and remove the lens cap from the 
    Conversion Lens.
    3 Align the screw of the Conversion Lens 
    with the thread around the lens of the 
    projector as illustrated below.
    4 Turn the Conversion Lens clockwise until 
    you hear it click.
    Note
    If the Conversion Lens is hard to turn, turn it slightly 
    counterclockwise first, then turn it clockwise.
    5 Place a thick cloth (e.g., a cushion) 
    beneath the projector. Place the projector 
    face down.
    Note
    The optional Conversion Lens projects from the top of the 
    projector when the Lens is installed on the projector. Before 
    installation, place a cloth of adequate thickness beneath the

    projector to keep the Lens from contact with the floor or a 
    desk top. Otherwise, the Lens may malfunction if it receives 
    too much pressure from the weight of the projector.
    6 Fasten the end of the safety wire of the 
    Conversion Lens to the bottom of the 
    projector using the screw supplied with 
    the Conversion Lens (M5×8, with washer).
    Note
    Be sure to fasten the end of the safety wire of the Lens to the 
    bottom of the projector.
    When installing the projector on the ceiling
    Be sure to fasten the end of the safety wire of the Lens 
    to both the projector and the PSS-610 Projector 
    Suspension Support in step 6, as illustrated below. In 
    this case, use the screw (M5×12, with washer) 
    supplied with the PSS-610.
    First, place the PSS-610 ( 1 ) on the projector, then 
    place the safety wire ( 2 ) on the PSS-610.
    WARNING
    Be sure to use the screw (M5×12 with washer) supplied with the 
    PSS-610. Never use the screw supplied with the Conversion Lens. 
    If you use the screw supplied with the Lens, the Lens may fall 
    from the projector and may cause injury.
    Notes on installation of the optional Conversion Lens
     The Lens scratches easily, so when handling it, always place it 
    gently on a stable and level surface in a horizontal position.
     Be sure not to bump the Lens on the surface of the lens of the 
    projector.
     Avoid touching the Lens surface.
    To remove the installed Conversion Lens
    1 Remove the end of the safety wire of the 
    installed Lens from the bottom of the 
    projector by removing the screw.
    2 Turn the installed Lens counterclockwise 
    until it can be removed.
    Notes
     Be sure not to drop the uninstalled Conversion Lens.
     When you adjust picture distortion using “V Keystone” or 
    “Side Shot” in the INSTALL SETTING menu with the 
    optional Conversion Lens attached to the projector, the 
    aspect ratio of the original picture may not be correctly 
    displayed.
    Installing the Projector and a 
    Screen — Floor Installation
    The installation distance between the projector and 
    screen varies depending on the size of the screen.
    1Determine the installation 
    position of the projector and 
    screen.

    screen and the center of the projector’s lens 
    when you place the projector on the side 
    (“Side Shot”), or when you place the 
    projector with the center of the screen and the 
    center of the lens aligned.
