WARNING

HIGH VOLTAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE HIGH PRESSURE

The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp can break with a loud bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, handled while hot, or worn over time. Note that each lamp has a different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them. In addition, when the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to fly into the lamp housing, and for gas containing mercury to escape from the projector’s vent holes.

About disposal of a lamp • This product contains a mercury lamp; do not put in trash. Dispose of in accord with environmental laws.

For lamp recycling, go to www.lamprecycle.org. (in USA)

For product disposal, contact your local government agency or www.eiae.org (in the US) or www.epsc.ca (in Canada).

For more information, call your dealer.

	• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), unplug
	the power cord from the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement
	lamp from your local dealer. Note that shards of glass could damage the
	projector’s internals, or cause injury during handling, so please do not try to
	clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.

the plug from	projector vents, or get it in your eyes or mouth.
the power
outlet	• Before replacing the lamp, make sure the power switch is off and the
	power cable is not plugged in, then wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to
	cool sufficiently. Handling the lamp while hot can cause burns, as well as
	damaging the lamp.
	• Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from above.
	This is dangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the shards will
	fall out when the cover is opened. In addition, working in high places is
	dangerous, so ask your local dealer to have the lamp replaced even if the
	bulb is not broken.
	• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed. At the lamp
	replacing, make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws
	could result in damage or injury.
	• Use the lamp of the specified type only.
	• If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible that
	there are electrical problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this happens,
	contact your local dealer or a service representative.
	• Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst
	during use.
	• Using the lamp for long periods of time, could cause it dark, not to light up
	or to burst. When the pictures appear dark, or when the color tone is poor,
	please replace the lamp as soon as possible. Do not use old (used) lamps;
	this is a cause of breakage.

Install the projector according to the environment and manner the projector will be used in.

Arrangement

Refer to table T-1 or T-2 and figures F-1 and F-2 at the end of User’s Manual (concise) to determine the screen size and projection distance.

The values shown in the table are calculated for a full size screen.

a Screen size (diagonal) b1 , b2 Projection distance (±8%) c1 , c2 Screen height (±8%)

•For the case of installation in special conditions such as on the wall or ceiling, the specified mounting accessories and service may be required. Tabletop use must be setup with the designated optional accessories. Before installing the projector, consult your dealer about your installation.

•The screen position may shift after installation if the projector is mounted on locations such as the wall or ceiling, due to the flexibility of the plastic projector body. If readjustment is necessary, consult with your dealer or service personnel.

•The projected image position and/or focus may change during warm-up (approx. 30 minutes after the lamp is turned on) or when the ambient conditions change. Readjust the image position and/or focus as necessary.

•Since the projector features an ultra short throw, be aware that it is required to select a screen carefully to have better performance.

-A soft screen such as a pull-down screen may cause serious distortion of a projected image. A hard screen such as a board screen is recommended for use with this projector.

-A high-gain screen such as a bead screen that has narrow viewing angle is not suitable for this projector. A low-gain screen (around 1.0) such as a matte screen that has wide viewing angle is recommended for use with this projector.

-A screen with a weave pattern may cause moiré on the projected image, which is not a failure of the projector. A screen that has less moiré effects is recommended for use with this projector.
