Before Using
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
Moisture Condensation
Never operate this unit immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm location.
When the unit is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture may condense on the
lens and the crucial internal parts. To prevent the unit from possible damage, do not use the
unit for at least 2 hours when there is an extreme or sudden change in temperature.
Place and Manner of Installation
• Do not place in hot locations, such as near heating equipment. Doing so could cause
malfunction, and shorten the life of the projector.
• Avoid locations with oil or cigarette smoke. Doing so will dirty the optical parts,
shortening their lives, and darkening the screen.
• Do not use this product in the upright position or tilt it up or down by more than 20° from
level. Doing so may cause a failure or shorten the life of the product.
• Using this instrument near a TV or radio may cause interference to the images or audio
sound. If this happens, move it away from the TV or radio.
• Moving the projector from a low-temperature room to a high-temperature room may
cause condensation on the lens or internal parts in the instrument. If you continue to use
it in that situation, the malfunction may result. Ensure to wait until the condensation
naturally disappears.
• In a high altitude location where air is thin, cooling efficiency is reduced so use the
projector with [Fan mode] set to [High]. 
• Only plug the power cord into outlets rated for use with the power cords specified
voltage range. Do not overload extension cords or table taps as this can result in fire or
electric shock.
• Route the power cable or the connecting cable away from where people could trip over
it. The projector may fall down, which could result in severe injury.
• Be sure the power cord is easily reached for unplugging in case of emergency. Do not
place any obstacles near a wall outlet in which the cord is plugged. 
Avoid Volatile Liquid
Do not use volatile liquids, such as an insect spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or
plastic products touching the unit for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish. Do not
use a chemically saturated cloth.
