ii
Important Information
WARNING
•Do not use any other object than the projector’s sliding lens cover to cover the lens while the projector is on.
Doing so can cause the object to get extremely hot, and possibly resulting in a fire or damage due to the heat emitted from the light output.
•Do not cover the lens with the lens cap or equivalent while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to melting of the cap due to the heat emitted from the light output.
•Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of the projector lens. Doing so could lead to the object melting from the heat that is emitted from the light output.
•Do not spray flammable gas to get rid of dust and dirt that accumulate in the lens. Doing so could cause a fire.
Place the projector in a horizontal position
The tilt angle of the projector should not exceed 10 degrees, nor should the projector be installed in any way other than the desktop and ceiling mount, otherwise lamp life could decrease dramatically.
10˚
Fire and Shock Precautions 
•Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow at least 4 inches (10cm) of space between your projector and a wall.
•Do not try to touch the exhaust vent on the right front (when seen from the front) as it can become heated while the projector is turned on and immediately after the projector is turned off.Parts of the projector may become temporarily heated if the projector is turned off with the POWER button or if the AC power supply is disconnected during normal projector operation.
Use caution when picking up the projector.
•Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your projector.Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that might fall into your projector.Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your projector. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed by a qualified service personnel.
•Do not place any objects on top of the projector.
•Do not touch the power plug during a thunderstorm. Doing so can cause electrical shock or fire.
•The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-240V AC 50/60 Hz. Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your projector.
•Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.
•Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light path of the projector. The light being projected from the lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause unpredictable outcome such as fire or injury to the eyes.
iii
Important Information
•Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of a projector exhaust vent.
Doing so could lead to the object melting or getting your hands burned from the heat that is emitted from the exhaust vent.
•Do not splash water over the projector. Doing so can cause electrical shock or fire. If the projector gets wet, turn off the projector, unplug the power cord and have the projector serviced by a qualified service personnel.
•Handle the power cord carefully. A damaged or frayed power cord can cause electric shock or fire.
-Do not use any power cord other than the one supplied with the projector.
-Do not bend or tug the power cord excessively.
-Do not place the power cord under the projector, or any heavy object.
-Do not cover the power cord with other soft materials such as rugs.
-Do not heat the power cord.
-Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.
•Turn off the projector, unplug the power cord and have the projector serviced by a qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
-When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
-If liquid has been spilled into the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water.
-If the projector does not operate normally when you follow the instructions described in this user’s manual.
-If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
-If the projector exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.
•Disconnect the power cord and any other cables before carrying the projector.
•Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord before cleaning the cabinet or replacing the lamp.
•Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord if the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time.
•When using a LAN cable (only models with the RJ-45 LAN port):
For safety, do not connect to the terminal for peripheral device wiring that might have excessive voltage.
CAUTION
•Do not use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses such as gripping the tilt-foot or hanging on the wall can cause damage to the projector.
•Do not send the projector in the soft case by parcel delivery service or cargo shipment.The projector inside the soft case could be damaged.
•Select [HIGH] in Fan mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days. (From the menu, select [SETUP] → [OPTIONS(1)] → [FAN MODE] → [HIGH].)
•Do not turn off the AC power for 60 seconds after the lamp is turned on and while the POWER indicator is blinking blue. Doing so could cause premature lamp failure.
Remote Control Precautions
•Handle the remote control carefully.
•If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
•Avoid excessive heat and humidity.
•Do not short, heat, or take apart batteries.
•Do not throw batteries into fire.
•If you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.
•Ensure that you have the batteries’ polarity (+/−) aligned correctly.

Important Information
Note for US Residents
The lamp in this product contains mercury. Please dispose according to Local, State or Federal Laws.
Lamp Replacement
•Use the specified lamp for safety and performance.
•To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page 133.
•Be sure to replace the lamp when the message [THE LAMP HAS REACHED THE END OF ITS USABLE LIFE. PLEASE REPLACE THE LAMP.] appears. If you continue to use the lamp after the lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury.
If this happens, contact your dealer for lamp replacement.
A Lamp Characteristic
The projector has a discharge lamp for special purposes as a light source.
A lamp has a characteristic that its brightness gradually decreases with age. Also repeatedly turning the lamp on and off will increase the possibility of its lower brightness.
The actual lamp life may vary depending upon the individual lamp, the environmental conditions and usage.
CAUTION:
•DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off and then disconnect the power cord. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool before handling.
•When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted projector, make sure that no one is under the projector. Glass fragments could fall if the lamp has been burned out.
About High Altitude mode
•Set [FAN MODE] to [HIGH ALTITUDE] when using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1700 meters or higher.
Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1700 meters or higher without setting to [HIGH ALTITUDE] can cause the projector to overheat and the protector could shut down. If this happens, wait a couple minutes and turn on the projector.
•Using the projector at altitudes less than approximately 5500 feet/1700 meters and setting to [HIGH ALTITUDE] can cause the lamp to overcool, causing the image to flicker. Switch [FAN MODE] to [AUTO].
•Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1700 meters or higher can shorten the life of optical components such as the lamp.

1. Introduction
Introduction to the Projector
This section introduces you to your new projector and describes the features and controls.

•If one of the following things happens, the projector will not turn on.
•If the internal temperature of the projector is too high, the projector detects abnormal high temperature. In this condition the projector will not turn on to protect the internal system. If this happens, wait for the projector’s internal components to cool down.
•When the lamp reaches its end of usable life, the projector will not turn on. If this happens, replace the lamp.
•If the STATUS indicator lights orange with the power button pressed, it means that the [CONTROL PANEL LOCK] is turned on. Cancel the lock by turning it off. (→ page 100)

• If extending the left rear foot (viewed from the rear) causes the protrusion to 
interfere with the floor, extend the right rear foot by 0.5 inch/12 mm or longer. 
If extending the right rear foot causes the protrusion to interfere with the floor, 
extend the left rear foot by 0.3 inch/8 mm.
