IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
Save Original Packing Materials
The original shipping carton and packing materials will come in handy if you ever have to 
ship your projector. For maximum protection, repack the set as it was originally packed at 
the factory.
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  tempera
-
ture.
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 natu
-rally disappears.
•  In  a  high  altitude  location  where  air  is  thin,  cooling  efficiency  is  reduced  so  use  the  pro-jector with [Fan mode] set to [High].
