TO THE OWNER

Before operating this projector, read this manual thoroughly and operate the projector properly.
This projector provides many convenient features and functions. Operating the projector properly enables you to
manage those features and maintains it in better condition for a considerable time.
Improper operation may result in not only shortening the product-life, but also malfunctions, fire hazard, or other
accidents.
If your projector seems to operate improperly, read this manual again, check operations and cable connections and try
the solutions in the “Trouble-shooting” section of the end of this booklet. If the problem still persists, contact the sales
dealer where you purchased the projector or the service center.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING : TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO

RAIN OR MOISTURE.

● This projector produces intense light from the projection lens. Do not stare directly into the lens as possible.
Eye damage could result. Be especially careful that children do not stare directly into the beam.

● This projector should be set in the way indicated. If not, it may result in a fire hazard.

● Take appropriate space on the top, sides and rear of the projector

cabinet for allowing air circulation and cooling the projector.
Minimum distance should be taken. If the projector is to be built
into a compartment or similarly enclosed, the minimum distances
must be maintained. Do not cover the ventilation slot on the
projector. Heat build-up can reduce the service life of your
projector, and can also be dangerous.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

All the safety and operating instructions should be read before
the product is operated.

Read all of the instructions given here and retain them for later
use. Unplug this projector from AC power supply before
cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning.

Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the projector.
For added protection to the projector during a lightning storm,

or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage
due to lightning and power line surges.

Do not expose this unit to rain or use near water... for
example, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc...

Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

Do not place this projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table.
The projector may fall, causing serious injury to a child or
adult, and serious damage to the projector. Use only with a
cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with
the projector. Wall or shelf mounting should follow the
manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting kit
approved by the manufacturers.

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.

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, consult your authorized dealer or
local power company.

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can
result in fire or electric shock. Do not allow anything to rest on
the power cord. Do not locate this projector where the cord
may be damaged by persons walking on it.

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.

Unplug this projector from wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the projector.
c. If the projector has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the projector does not operate normally by following the

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

e. If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been

damaged.

f. When the projector exhibits a distinct change in

performance-this indicates a need for service.

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.

Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are
provided for ventilation, to insure reliable operation of the
equipment and to protect it from overheating.

The openings should never be covered with cloth or other
materials, and the bottom opening should not be blocked by
placing the projector on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. This projector should never be placed near or over a
radiator or heat register.

This projector should not be placed in a built-in installation
such as a book case unless proper ventilation is provided.

Never push objects of any kind into this projector through
cabinet slots 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.

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this projector, ask
the service technician to perform routine safety checks to
determine that the projector is in safe operating condition.
