Before Using 89 IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS (Continued) Avoid Volatile LiquidDo 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. If cleaning with a chemically saturated cloth, be sure to follow the products precautions.LCD PanelThe life of the LCD panel is limited. Take care over the points below so as to use the panel for years. •To prolong the life of this panel, never fail to turn the power off when the panel is not in use and make sure that the lamp has gone out. The state of the lamp being extinguished helps enhance the effect of energy saving. •If the air filter is stained and is clogged up, the main unit inner temperature rises. As a result, the life of the LCD is shortened and a malfunction may also occur. Clean the air filter from time to time and replace it regularly. It is recommended that this replacement be done at the time of replacing a lamp. (Ask a dealer where the unit was purchased or your nearby service station about an air filter for replacement.) In the spaces provided below, record the Model and Serial No. located at the bottom of your LCD projector. Model No. Serial No. Retain this information for future reference. POWER SUPPLY CORD SELECTIONIf your line voltage is 220 to 240V, use one of the following types of cable.Plug configurationPlug type Australian 240V 10A North American240V 15A Switzerland 240V 6A Line voltage EURO UK220 – 240V 220 – 240V200 – 240V 200 – 240V 200 – 240V Plug configurationPlug type Line voltage Use a 5A fuse which is approved by ASTA or BSI to BSI362. Always replace the fuse cover after changing the fuse.IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONSSave Original Packing MaterialsThe original shipping carton and packing materials will come in handy if you ever have to ship your LCD projector. For maximum protection, repack the set as it was originally packed at the factory.Moisture CondensationNever 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 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 LCD panel. •Avoid locations with oil or cigarette smoke. Doing so will dirty the LCD panel and other optical parts, shortening their lives, and darkening the screen. •Do not use in angle of 20° or more degrees. Doing so could shorten the life of the lamp. •If used at high altitudes, the unit could cease operation even if used within the rated temperature range. This is because the thinner air at high altitudes decreases the internal cooling efficiency. Therefore, please lower the ambient temperature if using at high altitudes.
