Notes on Installing

Warning
Ceiling mount installations
A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.
If you use adhesives, lubricants, or oil on the ceiling mount fixing points to prevent screws from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the projector and also damage the projector.
Do not setup the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.
Try not to setup the projector in locations subject to high humidity and dust, or in locations subject to smoke from fires or tobacco smoke.

Make sure you wear the 3D Glasses correctly. Do not wear the 3D Glasses upside down. If the image is not displayed correctly into the right and left eyes, it could cause you to feel unwell.
Do not wear the glasses unless you are viewing a 3D image.
How a 3D image is perceived varies depending on the individual. Stop using the 3D function if you feel strange or cannot see in 3D. Continuing to view the 3D images could cause you to feel unwell.
Stop wearing the 3D Glasses immediately if they seem abnormal or a malfunction occurs. Continuing to wear the 3D Glasses could cause an injury or cause you to feel unwell.
Stop wearing the 3D Glasses if your ears, nose, or temples become red, painful, or itchy. Continuing to wear the 3D Glasses could cause you to feel unwell.
Stop wearing the 3D Glasses if your skin feels unusual when wearing the glasses. In some very rare cases the paint or materials used in the 3D Glasses could cause an allergic reaction.
Caution
Viewing time
When viewing 3D images, always take periodic breaks during extended viewing. Long periods of viewing 3D images may cause eye fatigue. The amount of time and frequency of such breaks varies from person to person. If your eyes still feel tired or uncomfortable even after taking a break from viewing, stop viewing immediately.
Caution
Watching 3D images
If your eyes feel fatigued or uncomfortable when viewing 3D images, stop viewing immediately. Continuing to view the 3D images could cause you to feel unwell.
When viewing 3D images be sure to always wear 3D Glasses. Do not attempt to view 3D images without 3D Glasses. Doing so could cause you to feel unwell.
Do not place any breakable or fragile objects around you when using 3D Glasses. 3D images may cause you to move your body involuntarily, resulting in damage to nearby items or personal injury.
Only wear 3D Glasses when viewing 3D images. Do not move around while wearing 3D Glasses. Your vision may appear darker than normal, causing you to fall or injure yourself.
Try to stay as level with the viewing screen as possible when viewing 3D images. Viewing 3D images at an angle reduces the 3D effect and may cause you to feel unwell due to unintended color changes.
If using 3D Glasses in a room with fluorescent or LED lighting, you may see flashing or flickering throughout the room. If this should occur, reduce the lighting until the flickering goes away or turn off the lights completely when viewing 3D images. In some very rare cases, this flickering could trigger seizures or fainting for some individuals. If you begin to feel uncomfortable or unwell at any time when viewing 3D images, stop immediately.
Stay at least three times the height of the screen away from the screen when viewing 3D images. The recommended viewing distance for an 80-inch screen is at least 3 meters, and at least 3.6 meters for a 100-inch screen. Sitting or standing any closer than the recommended viewing distance may result in eye fatigue.
36

Cleaning the Parts

You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate.
Warning
Do not use sprays that contain flammable gas to remove dirt and dust from the projector's air filter, and so on. The gases may ignite and result in fire.
Cleaning and replacing the air filter
Clean the air filter if dust has accumulated on the air filter or when the following message is displayed.
"The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vent, and clean or replace the air filter."
Attention
If dust collects on the air filter, it can cause the internal temperature of the projector to rise, and this can lead to problems with operation and shorten the optical engine's service life. It is recommended that you clean the air filter periodically. Clean more frequently if you are using the projector in a particularly dusty environment.
Do not rinse the air filter in water. Do not use detergents or solvents.
Lightly brush the air filter to clean it. If it is brushed too strongly, dust will be ground into the air filter and cannot be removed.
Dispose of used air filters properly in accordance with your local regulations.
