DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,

DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK)

NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED

SERVICE PERSONNEL.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

WARNING:

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTION:

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS (POLARIZED) PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.

NOTE:

SINCE THIS PROJECTOR IS PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, THE SOCKET-OUTLET SHALL BE INSTALLED NEAR THE EQUIPMENT AND SHALL BE EASILY ACCESSIBLE.

WARNING

Use the attached specified power supply cord. If you use another power-supply cord, it may cause interference with radio and television reception.

Use the attached RGB cable or RS-232C cable with this equipment so as to keep interference within the limit of a FCC Class B device.

This apparatus must be grounded.

DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE LENS WHEN THE PROJECTOR IS IN THE POWER ON MODE.

CAUTION

Not for use in a computer room as defined in the Standard for the Protection of Electronic Computer/ Data Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75.

When using the projector in Europe:

COMPLIANCE NOTICE

This LCD Video Projector complies with the requirements of the EC Directive 89/336/EEC “EMC Directive” as amended by Directive 92/31/EEC and 93/68/EEC, and 73/23/EEC “Low Voltage Directive” as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC.

The electro-magnetic susceptibility has been chosen at a level that gains proper operation in residential areas, on business and light industrial premises and on small-scale enterprises, inside as well as outside of the buildings. All places of operation are characterised by their connection to the public low voltage power supply system.

WARNING

Use the attached RGB cable or RS-232C cable with this equipment so as to keep interference within the limits of an EN55022 Class B device.

Please follow WARNING instructions.

Front projection, ceiling mounting

For ceiling mounting, you need the ceiling mount kit designed for this projector. Ask a specialist for installation. For details, consult your dealer.

The warranty on this projector does not cover any damage caused by use of any non-recommended ceiling mount kit or installation of the ceiling mount kit in an improper location.

When using the projector mounted on the ceiling, set IMAGE REVERSE in the INSTALLATION menu to MIRROR INVERT. See page 16.

When the projector is mounted on the ceiling, images may appear darker than those projected in the case of tabletop mounting. This isn’t a product malfunction.

Rear projection

Ask a specialist for installation. For details, consult your dealer.

For rear projection, set IMAGE REVERSE in the INSTALLATION menu to MIRROR. See page 16.

Caution:

Placing the projector directly on a carpet impairs ventilation by the fans, causing damage or failure. Put a hard board under the projector to facilitate ventilation.

Place the projector at least 50 cm (or 20 inch) away from the wall to prevent the air inlet grille and the air outlet grilles that emit hot air from being blocked.

Do not use the projector in the following locations and manners, which may cause fire or electric shock.

In a dusty or humid place.

In a sideways or upside-down position.

Near a heater.

In an oily, smoky, or damp place such as a kitchen.

In direct sunlight.

Where the temperature rises high, such as in a closed car.

Where the temperature is lower than 41°F (or +5˚C) or higher than 95°F (or 35˚C).

Important:

Do not apply force to the lens, because the lens may be damaged.
