IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
Save Original Packing Materials
The 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 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 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.Plug

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  (continued)
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. If
cleaning with a chemically saturated cloth, be sure to follow the products precautions.
LCD Panel
The 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.
