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.
