Notes
•  Be sure to use AA size batteries.
•  Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area.
•  Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery disposal.
•  Do not mix different battery types or combine used batteries with new ones.

jury.  If  battery-leaking  fluid  contacts  skin,  wash  the  fluid  off  immediately  with  clean  water 
and consult a doctor. If the fluid is spilt on an instrument, avoid contact and wipe it off using 
tissue paper.
(Dispose of the used tissue paper as flammable garbage after moistening with water.)

•  If the remote control stops working, or if its range decreases, replace all the batteries with 
new ones.

Placement
Placement Styles
As shown in the figures below, this device can be placed in 4 different styles.
The factory setting is “floor-mounted front projection.” Set the [
Projection mode] in the 
Default setting menu p.33, in accordance with your needs.
 WARNING•  Always obey the instructions listed in IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS when placing the unit. Attempting to clean/replace the lamp at a high site by yourself may cause you to drop down, thus resulting in injury.
•  If you wish to mount the projector on the ceiling, be sure to ask your dealer to do so. Mounting the 
projector on a ceiling requires special ceiling brackets (sold separately) and specialized knowledge. Improper mounting could cause the projector to fall, resulting in an accident.
•  If the projector is ceiling-mounted, install the breaker for turning off the power in case of anomaly. Let 
everyone involved with the use of the projector know that fact.
