The normal operating life for the lamp is 750 hours.
High-pressure lamp may explode if improperly used.
Refer all servicing to authorized personnel only.
1. Water and Moisture - The projector is designed for indoor use only
and should not be used near water and moisture.
2. Carts and Stands - Place the projector on a stable, hard surface in a
manner that does not obstruct ventilation ports and openings in the
cabinet. Unstable carts, stands, tables, etc. may cause the projector to
fall, which may cause serious injury to people and/or the projector.
3. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the projector and protection
from overheating, do not block or cover slots and openings in any way.
Do not place the projector on any soft surface or close to a heating
source, radiator, etc. Never install the projector in an enclosed unit.
4. Heat - The projector should be situated away from heat sources such
as direct sunlight, radiators, stoves or other strong heat sources.
5. Power Sources - The projector must only be connected to proper
electrical voltage as marked on the projector body. The projector
should be connected to electrical outlet using a power cord compatible
with the local electrical voltage. If you are not sure about the type of
electrical service at your location, consult your projector dealer or local
power company.
6. Power Cord Protection - Power cords should be routed so that they
are not likely to be walked on, pinched or unduly bent by items placed
upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords and cables at
the point where they exit from the projector.

cleaners.
8. Non-use Periods - The power cord of the projector should be
unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.
9. Damage Requiring Service - The projector should be serviced only by
authorized service personnel when;
• the power supply cord or the plug has been damaged,
• objects have fallen, or liquid spilled, into the projector,
• the projector has been exposed to water or condense,
• the projector does not appear to operate normally (fan not
working, noise, smell, smoke, heat etc.)
• the projector has been dropped or damaged.

fall into the projector casing. Be careful not to spill liquids into the
inside of the projector. Do not insert metal or flammable objects into
the projector.
11. Servicing - The user should not attempt to perform unusual or
technical service to the projector. Do not open the unit. Refer all
servicing to authorized service personnel.
12. Grounding or Polarization - Precautions should be taken so that
grounding or polarization of a projector is maintained. Do not use a
three prong to a two prong adapter.
To prevent electric shock, do not use the polarized ac plug
with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless
the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
14.Lamp Replacement - Do not attempt to replace lamp. Contact an
authorized service centre for lamp replacement.
15.Abnormality - If you detect an abnormal smell or smoke, immediately
turn off the power switch. Disconnect the power plug from the power
switch to prevent fire or electric shock.

6 SETTING UP THE LCD PROJECTOR
6.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Switch off all equipment before connecting together the
various items. Be aware of static electricity that may build
up, especially in the dry season and when operating on
synthetic carpets. Discharge any static electricity by
touching a metallic surface before you start.
Do not cover the ventilation grills in front and on top of the
projector housing, as this will prevent cooling. Also make
sure to place the projector on a flat, hard surface to avoid
blocking the air inlet at the bottom of the unit. A thermal
safety switch will cut off the illumination system if the
ventilation is reduced.
Do not connect any devices or cables other than those
supplied with the LCD projector into the connector ports on
the projector unit, even if the connector ports appear
identical, as this voids any warranty and may cause
permanent damage to the projector, and to the connected
source apparatus.

6.2 ARRANGEMENTS IN THE PROJECTION ROOM
Place the LCD projector on a table, or other stable hard surface, at the
distance required to give the desired size of projected image on the wall.
The image should be projected onto a flat surface screen with high
reflectivity to get a bright and undistorted image.
The best viewing results are obtained in a dimmed room with no direct
sunlight shining in. Try to ensure also that the projected image is visible to
the whole audience by placing source equipment where it will not obscure
viewing. The LCD projector is provided with extra long cables for this
purpose.
(Actual projection distances and screen sizes may vary)
