INFORMATION TO THE USER

NOTE : This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to

Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment
in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct
the interference at his own expense.

As the owner of a new Multimedia Projector, you are probably eager to try out your new projector. Before you do,
we suggest that your spend a little time reading this manual to familiarize yourself with the operating procedures,
so that you will receive maximum satisfaction from the many features included in your new projector.
This owner's manual will acquaint you with your projector's features. Reading it will help us too. Through the
years, we have found that many service requests were not caused by problems with our projectors. They were
caused by problems that could have been prevented, if the owner had followed the instructions in the manual.
You can often correct operating problems yourself. If your projector fails to work properly, see
"TROUBLESHOOTING" section on pages 44 ~ 45 and try the solution marked for each problem.

WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.

This Projector has a grounding-type AC line plug. This is a safety feature to be sure that the plug will fit
into the power outlet. Do not try to defeat this safety feature.
This projector produces intense light from the projection lens. Do not stare directly into the lens as
possible eye damage could result. Be especially careful that children do not stare directly into the beam.
The Remote Control Unit, supplied to this projector, emits the laser beam as the Laser Pointer function
from the Laser Light Window while pressing the LASER button (for 1 minute). Do not look into the Laser
Light Window or shine the laser beam on yourself or other people. Eye damage may result.
This projector should be set in the way indicated. If not, It may result in fire hazard.

example, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc...

Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are
provided for ventilation, to insure reliable operation of the
equipment and to protect it from overheating.

The openings should never be covered with cloth of other
materials, and the bottom opening should not be blocked by
placing the projector on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. This projector should never be placed near or over a
radiator or heat register.

This projector should not be placed in a built-in installation
such as a book case unless proper ventilation is provided.

This projector should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supplied, consult your authorized dealer or
local power company.

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can
result in fire or electric shock. Do not allow anything to rest on
the power cord. Do not locate this projector where the cord
may be damaged by persons walking on it.

Never push objects of any kind into this projector through
cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the projector.

Do not attempt to service this projector yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.

Unplug this projector from wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the projector.
c. If the projector has been exposed to rain or water.

d. If the projector does not operate normally by following the

operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions as improper

often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the projector to normal operation.

e. If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been

damaged.

f. When the projector exhibits a distinct change in

performance-this indicates a need for service.

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this projector, ask
the service technician to perform routine safety checks to
determine that the projector is in safe operating condition.

This projector is equipped with a
grounding type AC line plug.
Should you be unable to insert the
plug into the outlet, contact your

safety purpose of this grounding

type plug.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the projectors.
For added protection to the projector during a lightning storm,

or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage
due to lightning and power line surges.

An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance
and cart combination to overturn.

If the projector is to be built into a compartment or similarly
enclosed, the minimum distances must be maintained.
Do not cover the ventilation slot on the projector.
Heat build-up can reduce the service life of your projector, and
can also be dangerous.
