- This product should be operated only with the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company.
- This product is equipped with a three-wire plug. This plug will fit only into a grounded power outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.
- Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at doors, plugs, receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.
- For added protection of this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power line surges.
- Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or convenience receptacles on other equipment as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
- Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings 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 product.
- Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages and other hazards. Refer all service to qualified service personnel.
-
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer service to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a) When the power supply cord or plug is damaged. b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen on the product. c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water. d) If the product does not operate normally by following the

MEMO
About Cool Down mode
...............................
z
The Cool Down mode is a function to cool down the lamp for approximately 60 seconds after projection is complete. This function prevents the internal parts of the unit from deformation or damage due to overheating of the lamp. It also prevents lamp blowout and premature shortening of lamp life.
z During Cool Down mode, the
[STANDBY/ON] indicator blinks in red.
z After the Cool Down mode is
complete, the unit automatically returns to standby mode.
z Do not pull out the power plug
during Cool Down mode. This may shorten the lamp life and cause a malfunction.

Caution

D-ILA Device Characteristics
..................................................
Do not project still pictures or pictures that have still segments for a long period of time. The still parts of the picture may remain on the screen. This is a characteristic of D-ILA devices and not a malfunction. The picture will disappear over time.
When Unit is Unused for a Long Time
..................................................
Prolonged disuse of the unit may effect an error on the functions. Turn on the power occasionally and operate the unit.
Viewing Advice
..................................................
Looking at the screen continually for a prolonged time will cause your eyes to get tired. Allow your eyes to rest at intervals.
Usage Environment
..................................................
z Avoid direct exposure of screen to direct sunlight and
illumination. Block light using a curtain. Images can be well projected by darkening the brightness of the room.
z Do not use this unit in rooms with cigarette smoke or oily
smoke. This may cause the unit to malfunction.
Parts Replacement
..................................................
This unit contains parts (optical part, cooling fan, etc.) that require replacement to maintain its functioning. The estimated time for parts replacement varies greatly depending on the usage and environment. Please consult your authorized dealer for replacement.
z This product uses Ricoh TrueType fonts manufactured
and sold by Ricoh Co., Ltd.
Maintenance Procedures
..................................................
Dirt on the cabinet
z Gently clean dirt on the cabinet with a soft cloth. In the
case of heavy soiling, soak a cloth in water, wring dry and wipe, followed by wiping again with a dry cloth. Pay attention to the following as the cabinet may deteriorate in condition or paint may come off.
Do not wipe with thinner or benzene
Do not spray volatile chemicals like insecticide
Do not allow prolonged contact with rubber or plastic
products
Dirt in the air inlets
z Use a vacuum cleaner to suck up the dirt. Otherwise, use
a cloth to wipe off the dirt. If dirt is allowed to accumulate in the air inlets, the internal temperature cannot be adjusted and this may cause a malfunction.
Dirt on the lens
z Clean the dirt using commercial blowers or lens cleaning
papers for cleaning glasses and cameras. Do not use fluid-type cleaning agents. This may lead to peeling of the surface coating film.
Transporting this Unit
..................................................
Before transporting or shipping this unit, attach the buffer material on the top and bottom of the lens for protection. Failure to do so may subject the lens to shock causing damage. Attach the buffer material after adjusting the lens to the center position.

Mounting this Unit

Measures to prevent the unit from toppling or dropping should be taken for safety reasons and accident prevention during emergencies including earthquakes.
When mounting this unit on a pedestal or ceiling, remove the 4 feet on the bottom surface and use all the 4 screw holes (M5 screws) to mount.
Ceiling
Bottom Surface
4 locations
Air inlets
Precautions for Mounting
.........................................................................................................
z Special expertise and techniques are required for
mounting this unit. Be sure to ask your dealer or a specialist to perform mounting.
z Depth of the screw holes (screw length) is 30 mm. Use
screws shorter than 30 mm but longer than 19 mm.
Using other screws will result in malfunctioning or cause the unit to drop.
z Regardless whether the unit is still under guarantee, JVC
is not liable for any product damage caused by mounting the unit with non-JVC ceiling fittings or when the environment is not suitable for ceiling-mount.
z When using the unit hanging from a ceiling, pay attention
to the surrounding temperature. When a heater is in use, temperature around the ceiling is higher than expected.
z When mounting to a pedestal, ensure sufficient space
(foot height of 21.5 mm or higher) around the unit so that the air inlets are not blocked.
z Do not tilt this unit more than ±5 degrees from side to side
when using. This may result in uneven colors or shortening of lamp life.
