THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT THERE ARE
IMPORTANT OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL WITH
THIS UNIT.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
Before operating this projector, read this manual thoroughly
and operate the projector properly.
This projector provides many convenient features and
functions. Operating the projector properly enables you to
manage those features and maintains it in better condition for
a considerable time.
Improper operation may result in not only shortening the
product-life, but also malfunctions, fire hazard, or other
accidents.
If your projector seems to operate improperly, read this
manual again, check operations and cable connections and try
the solutions in the “Troubleshooting” section at the end of
this booklet. If the problem still persists, contact the dealer
where you purchased the projector or the service center.
Safety Precaution
WARNING : TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE
TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
– 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.
– Install the projector in a proper position. If not, it may
result in a fire hazard.
– Provide appropriate space on the top, sides and rear of the
projector cabinet for allowing air circulation and cooling the
projector. Minimum clearance must be maintained. 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 buildup can reduce the service life of your projector, and can
also be dangerous.
– The remote control, supplied to this projector, emits a laser
beam as the Laser pointer function from laser light window
while pressing the LASER button (for 1 minute / Signal
Emission indicator lights red to indicate laser emission). Do
not look into the laser light window or shine the laser beam
on a mirror, yourself or other people. Eye damage may
result.
– Do not put any flammable object or spray can near the
projector, hot air is exhausted from the ventilation holes.
– If the projector is not to be used for an extended time,
unplug the projector from the power outlet.

Read all of the instructions given here and retain them for later
use. Unplug this projector from AC power supply before
cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the projector.
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.
Do not expose this unit to rain or use near water... for
example, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc...
Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
Do not place this projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table.
The projector may fall, causing serious injury to a child or
adult, and serious damage to the projector. Use only with a
cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with
the projector. Wall or shelf mounting should follow the
manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting kit
approved by the manufacturers.
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.
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 or 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.
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 install the projector near the ventilation duct of airconditioning equipment.
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.
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
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
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 uses a high-pressure lamp which must be handled carefully and properly. Improper
handling may result in accidents, injury, or create a fire hazard.
● Lamp lifetime may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is no
guarantee of the same lifetime for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their lifetime in a
shorter period of time than other similar lamps.
● If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced, i.e., if the LAMP REPLACE indicator lights
up, replace the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY after the projector has cooled down.
( Follow carefully the instructions in the Lamp Replacement section of this manual. ) Continuous use
of the lamp with the LAMP REPLACE indicator lighted may increase the risk of lamp explosion.
● A Lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock or degradation as a result of hours of use as its
lifetime draws to an end. Risk of explosion may differ according to the environment or conditions in
which the projector and lamp are being used.
IF A LAMP EXPLODES, THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN.
If a lamp explodes, disconnect the projector’s AC plug from the AC outlet immediately. Contact an
authorized service station for a checkup of the unit and replacement of the lamp. Additionally, check
carefully to ensure that there are no broken shards or pieces of glass around the projector or coming out
from the cooling air circulation holes. Any broken shards found should be cleaned up carefully. No one
should check the inside of the projector except those who are authorized trained technicians and who are
familiar with projector service. Inappropriate attempts to service the unit by anyone, especially those
who are not appropriately trained to do so, may result in an accident or injury caused by pieces of broken
glass.

● Do not reset the Lamp replace counter without implementation of lamp
