• Never leave dead batteries inside the remote controller for a long time.
Dead batteries can leak, which leads to malfunction of and damage to the remote controller.
Be sure to replace the batteries at least once every one year, no matter how much you use the
remote controller during that time.
• Clean with a soft, dry cloth.
When very dirty, use a soft cloth that has been dampened in a weak solution of water and a
mild neutral detergent. Wring all excess water from the cloth before wiping. Never use thinner,
benzine, or any other volatile agent to clean the projector. Doing so can remove its markings
and cause staining of the case.
• Missing Screen Dots
Though this projector is manufactured using the most advanced digital technology available
today, some of the dots on the screen may be missing. This is normal, and does not indicate
malfunction.
12 Other Precautions
• Never subject the projector to strong impact while it is projecting.
If the projector is accidentally subjected to strong impact, the projection image will momentarily
go blank. The image will reappear after some time, but it may be the wrong color or it may be
accompanied by an error message.
If the projected image is the wrong color, re-select the current input source. If this does not
return the projected image to its proper color, turn projector power off and then back on again.
• Use a power outlet near the projector. Always use the projector so that the power cord can
be easily unplugged.
• Even if your projector is still within the warranty period, you will be charged for repair if a
problem is due to running the projector non-stop for very long periods (like 24 hours) or if the
projector was set up and used without following the “Setup Precautions”.
• Use under high ambient temperature or in environments subjected to large amounts of dust,
oil smoke, tobacco smoke, or other types of smoke can shorten the replacement cycles and
require more frequent replacement of the optical engine and other components. Note that
you are charged for such replacement. For details about replacement cycles and fees,
contact an authorized CASIO service center.
• Condensation
Moving the projector from a cold room to a heated room, turning on a heater in a cold room,
and other similar conditions can cause condensation (fogging) to form on the projector lens
and/or inside the projector, which will make the projected image appear out of focus and can
lead to malfunction and other trouble. If this happens, turn off the projector and wait for a while
until the condensation clears naturally. When it does, you will be able to project images
normally.
• Power Supply to External Equipment
Turning off projector power also cuts power being supplied to external equipment. Note that
power being supplied is also cut when the projector is turned off due to restarting by its
self-check function or Auto Power Off, due to some error, or for any other reason. Depending
on the external equipment being used, cut off of the power supply may cause data that is
being edited to be lost or corrupted. Make it a habit to frequently save data on external
equipment being powered by the projector. Note that CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. shall be
held in no way liable for any loss or corruption of data.
