you do not install the projector correctly, it could fall and cause damage or injury.
(EF-62/EF-61)
•
Do not use adhesives on the mounting hole to prevent the screws from loosening,
or use lubricants, oils, or similar substances on the projector; the projector case
may crack causing it to fall. is could cause serious injury to anyone under the
ceiling mount and could damage the projector. (EF-62/EF-61)
•
Do not install the projector in a location subject to high levels of dust or humidity,
or in a location subject to smoke or steam. Otherwise, it could cause a re
or electric shock to occur. e projector's case could also deteriorate and be
damaged causing the projector to fall from the mount.
Examples of environments that could cause the projector to fall due to case
deterioration
•
Locations subject to excessive smoke or airborne oil particles, such as factories
or kitchens
•
Locations containing volatile solvents or chemicals, such as factories or
laboratories
•
Locations where the projector could be subjected to detergents or chemicals,
such as factories or kitchens
•
Locations in which aroma oils are oen used, such as relaxation rooms
•
Near devices that produce excessive smoke, airborne oil particles, or foam at
events
•
Locations near humidiers
Warning
•
D
o not cover the projector's air intake or air exhaust vents. If the vents are
covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a re.
•
Do not use or store the projector in locations where it will be subject to dust or
dirt. Otherwise, the quality of the projected image may decline, or the air lter
may become clogged, resulting in a malfunction or re.
•
Do not install the projector on an unstable surface or in a location beyond the
weight specications of the projector. Otherwise, it could fall or topple causing an
accident and injury.
•
When installing the projector in a high position, take measures to prevent falling
by using wires to ensure safety in an emergency, such as an earthquake, and to
prevent accidents. If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident
and injury.
•
Do not install in locations where salt damage could occur, or in locations subject
to corrosive gas such as sulphuric gas from hot springs. Otherwise, corrosion
could cause the projector to fall. It could also cause the projector to malfunction.

•
Use a tripod that is strong enough to support the weight of the projector.
•
Securely tighten the tripod's screw into the projector's mounting hole. If the
screw loosens, the projector could fall or topple causing an accident and
injury.
•
Do not carry the projector while it is mounted on a tripod. Doing so will
put too much pressure on the tripod xing point and the projector could
fall or topple causing an accident and injury.
•
Place the tripod on a at and stable surface. Otherwise, the tripod could
topple causing an accident and injury.
•
For details on how to use the tripod, see the documentation supplied with
the tripod.
When installing the projector in a high place such as a ceiling,
m
ake sure you hook the carabiner of the optional safety wire set
(ELPWR01) to a point that is strong enough to hold the weight of
the projector and the mounting hardware.
Attaching Safety Wire (EF-72/EF-71)
When you install the projector in a high place, make sure you attach the

Correcting the Image Shape and Focus Automatically
When the projector is moved or tilted, Auto Shape Correction automatically
corrects focus and any keystone distortion of the projected image.
Auto Shape Correction operates under the following conditions:
•
When the size of the projected image (diagonal length) before correcting the
focus and keystone distortion is from 30 to 100 inches.
•
When the projection distance is about 195.6 to 105 inches (77 to 267 cm).
•
When the installation angle of the projector toward the projection surface is
within 20º right, le, up, or down.
•
A
uto Shape Correction operates even if the size of the projected image
exceeds 100 inches. However, the adjustment may fail depending on
the installation angle of the projector, the brightness of the room, and
the material of the projection surface. If necessary, adjust the keystone
distortion and focus settings manually using the projector menu.
•
When an image is being projected at an angle and has been reduced
using the Zoom & Shi function, keystone distortion may not be
corrected. If the correction fails, adjust the reduction ratio of the image
so that it is closer to 100%.
