Important Safeguards

This unit has been engineered and manufactured to assure your personal safety. IMPROPER USE CAN RESULT IN POTENTIAL
ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD.

In order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated into this LCD projector, observe the follo wing basic rules for its installation, use and service.
Please read these “Important Safeguards” carefully before use.

–– All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the product is operated.
–– The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
–– All warnings on the product and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
–– All operating instructions should be followed.
–– Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious

damage to the product.

–– When the product is used on a cart, care should be taken to avoid quick stops, excessive

force, and uneven surfaces which may cause the product and cart to overturn, damaging
equipment or causing possible injury to the operator.

–– When connecting other products such as VCR’s and personal computers, you should turn off the power of this product for protection

against electric shock.
–– When using this product, you should connect the enclosed three-wire type power supply cord.
–– When there is an abnormal condition such as smoke or a strange smell in the machine, always pull out the plug from the wall outlet.

If a projected image does not appear or other abnormality occurs, make sure that no smoke comes out of the machine and contact your sales

office. This condition may cause fire or electrical shock.

En-3

Important Safeguards (continued)

–– Do not insert metallic objects, flammable objects or water in the ventilation holes.

If a foreign object enters the unit, always pull out the electrical plug from the wall outlet and contact your sales off ice. This condition may

cause fire or electrical shock.
–– Do not place any heavy object on the electrical cord.

The cord will be damaged and this condition may cause fire or electrical shock.

–– Do not loosen any screws that are not indicated by the arrow mark.

The unit contains internal parts which have high voltage or high temperatures. Touching these parts may cause electrical shock or severe

burns.
–– Do not touch the electrical plug when there is thunder or lightning.

Touching the projector in this condition may cause electrical shock.
–– Do not place the electrical cord near a heater or other object that generates high temperatures.

Place the electrical cord so it does not touch a heater. This may cause fire or electrical shock.
–– Do not place the projector in an unstable location.

If the projector is placed on a shaky frame or unstable location it may fall and cause injury.
–– Only use the accessory electrical cord.

Fire or electrical shock may occur if a nonstandard cord is used.
–– Contact your sales office when transporting the projector.

If you install or transport the unit by yourself, it may fall and cause a fire, electrical shock or other damage.
–– Clean the electrical plug periodically to prevent dust from accumulating.

Fire or electrical shock may occur if the insulation on the electrical plug becomes defective.
–– If the lamp storage cover is broken when replacing the lamp, do not use the projector and contact your sales office for repair.
–– Always place the projector at a minimum of 30 cm (12 inches) away from a wall.

Place the projector in a well ventilated area because it generates high temperatures. Never place the projector on a carpet or blanket

because this may cause a fire.
–– The electrical plug of the main unit is equipped with a three line plug that contains a ground line. Contact an electrical technician to connect

the ground line when connecting it to a wall outlet with a two core plug.
–– Insert the electrical plug securely to the end of the wall outlet.

If the plug is inserted incorrectly, this may cause fire or electrical shock.
–– Do not place vases, cups or other object containing water or fluids on top of the projector.

Do not use the projector in rain, wind or other inclement weather. Fire or electrical shock may occur if rain or other objects enter the unit.
–– Do not insert metallic objects, or flammable objects such as plastic or paper into the lamp unit or lamp storage unit.

Contact your sales office if a foreign object enters the unit. This may cause fire or electrical shock.
–– When the lamp unit is used, do not drop any object on the unit or subject parts such as the glass surface, connector, connector terminal,

cables and case to impact.

Do not use the unit if it is subjected to shock or scratched. Contact your sales office. This condition may cause a fire or electrical shock.
–– Never cover the ventilation holes.

Do not seal or shut off the ventilation holes on the front, right side and left side of the projector.
–– Do not touch the terminal end of the lamp unit or the screws which secure the connector.

Even if the screws become loose, do not attempt to perform the repair operation yourself and contact your sales of fice. This condition may

result in fire, electrical shock or other damage.
–– Do not turn on the electricity or the lamp when the lens cap is attached.

The lens cap will become deformed due to the heat of the lamp and may cause fire or severe burns.
–– Do not clean the lens directly.

Looking at the lens during operation is dangerous because it projects a strong light during operation. This may cause severe damage to your

eyes.
–– Always pull out the electrical plug when the unit is not used for a long period of time.

If the plug is not removed, the insulation may deteriorate and cause electrical shock or a fire due to current leakage.
–– Always grasp the plug firmly and never pull on the electrical cord to remove the electrical plug from the wall outlet.

If the cord is pulled, it may be damaged and cause fire or electrical shock.
–– Always turn off the power before connecting the cables and other connections.

Read the instruction manuals of the other equipment connected to the projector thoroughly. Always turn off the main po wer switch before

connecting any cables. Fire or electrical shock may occur when these operations are performed if the main power is turned on.
–– Do not apply any force on the projector.

If the projector is suspended or a load is applied to it from a heavy object upon it, the projector may fall and be damaged.

En-4

–– Be careful not to expose the projector to any steam, oily smoke, heat or humidity.

Never place the projector in a location subject to steam, oily smoke heat or humidity. This may cause fire or electrical shock.

Points to Note (continued)

Illumination around pr ojector

The projector has two wireless remote control unit light receivers, on the front and rear. If the receivers are subjected to
strong light such as from fluorescent lights, the remote control unit may not function properly. In this case, move the
projector away from the fluorescent light or other light source, or position it so that light from the light source does not
shine directly on the receivers.

Light source

Moving the projector away
from the light source

Move the projector at least 2 m (6.5 feet) from the fluorescent
light or other light source. Keep the wireless remote control unit
light receivers out of direct sunlight.

To disable the wireless remote
control unit light receivers

Change the remote control input setting using the function
settings.
For details, see page

En-28.

Image characteristics

Over 2 m

The projector is equipped with a liquid crystal panel. The colors and contrast of the projected image may differ from the
CRT image on a TV or PC.

Screen

If you are choosing a screen, first check the characteristics carefully and choose one that suits your purpose. Do not use a
polarizing screen with this projector as the image may appear reddish.

Using a mobile phone near the projector

If you use a mobile phone, transceiver or other device that generates radiowaves near the projector, it may cause distortion
of the image or noise from the speaker. Use such devices at a distance from the projector.
