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.

Important safeguards (continued)

9. Ventilation Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation, ensuring reliable operation of the projector and to protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings or allow them to be blocked by placing the projector on a bed, sofa, rug, or bookcase. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that the manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.

10. Power sources 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 to your office, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.

11. Power-cord protection 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 plugs, convenience receptacles, and points where they exit from the appliance.

12. Overloading Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a fire or electric shock.

13. Object and liquid entry Never push objects of any kind through openings of this projector 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.

14. Servicing 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.

15. Damage requiring service Unplug this projector from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: (a) If the power-supply cord or plug is damaged. (b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the projector. (c) If the projector does not operate normally after you follow the operating instruc-

tions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. An improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and may often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the projector to its

normal operation. (d) If the projector has been exposed to rain or water. (e) If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. (f) If the projector exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need

for service.

16. Replacement parts When replacement parts are required, be sure that the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or parts having the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

17. Safety check Upon completion of any service or repair to this projector, ask the service technician to perform safety checks determining that the projector is in a safe operating condition.

• Place the projector more than 8 in. from the wall to prevent blocking the intake, exhaust slots and ventilation of this projector because hot air comes out of it.

• Do not use the projector under the following circumstances, which may cause fire or electric shock.

• in a dusty or humid place

• while the projector is lying sideways or upside down.

• near a heater

• in a kitchen or oily, smoky or damp place

• in direct sunlight

• where the temperature is lower than 41°F or higher than 95°F

Important:

• Do not put stress on the lens or focus ring, as this may damage them.

• Keep your room dark while using the projector. The image cannot be seen clearly in a bright place.

Adjusting the angle of projection

• Screen on a flat wall with a 90˚ angle to the floor.

• Align projector to produce a full screen display as illustrated on page 14.

• Distance from projector to screen must be compatible with screen size chart on page 14. Note

Use a standard lens-cleaning brush or a piece of lens tissue dampened with lens cleaning fluid. The lens surface is fragile. Use only recommended, nonabrasive lens-cleaning materials. Do not touch the lens with your fingers.

Replacement of a light source lamp

The light source lamp is designed to project the image on the LCD panel. When the light source lamp no longer functions, replace it with a new one to ensure optimum performance.

Caution:

• Do not remove the light source lamp from inside of this equipment immediately after using the projector, you may get burned because of the high temperature of the light source lamp.

• When you replace the light source lamp, press the power button to power off, then wait for 120 seconds in stand-by mode to cool down the lamp and LCD panels. Turn off the main switch, unplug the power code from the outlet and wait one hour so that the lamp is cool to the touch.

• Do not remove the light source lamp except for replacement. Careless treatment can cause injury or fire.

• Do not touch the lamp directly. It may be broken and may cause you to injure or burn yourself.

Purchase of the light source lamp

The expected life of the metal halide light source lamp is 1,300 hours. However, to maintain optimum performance, it is recommended that the light source lamp be replaced at 1,000 hour intervals. When the lamp no longer works well, replace it with a new one specified for this projector. Consult your dealer, for recommended replacement lamps.

The life of the lamp

The average life of the lamp for the projector is about 1,300 hours of consecutive use. The lamp indicator will blink in red after approximately 1,000 hours. When the lamp has been used for about 1,200 hours, the message “PLEASE CHANGE THE LAMP.” will appear on the screen. When the lamp has been used for about 1,300 hours, the projector will automatically shut off for the safety of the lamp and the power indicator light up in red. The projector cannot be used until the lamp has been replaced.

Caution:

• The light source lamp is fragile. Be careful not to cut yourself with the fragments.

• The lamp life depends on the environment. For replacement lamps, please contact your dealer.

The projector automatically shuts off when the lamp is used up in about 1,300 hours and not used until lamp replacement.
