Precautions with regard to safety

Important

Do not short-circuit, heat or disassemble the
batteries or place them into water or fire.

Failure to observe this may cause the batteries to

overheat, leak, explode or catch fire, and burns or
other injury may result.

When inserting the batteries, make sure the
polarities (+ and -) are correct.

If the batteries are inserted incorrectly, they may

explode or leak, and fire, injury or contamination of
the battery compartment and surrounding area may
result.

Use only the specified batteries.

If incorrect or different kinds of batteries are used,

they may explode or leak, and fire, injury or
contamination of the battery compartment and
surrounding area may result.

Do not mix old and new batteries.

If the batteries are used mixing old and new, they

may explode or leak, and fire, injury or cont amination
of the battery compartment and surroundin g ar ea
may result.

Remove the used batteries from the remote control
promptly.

safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning.

Electric shocks can result if this is not done.

If the lamp has broken, ventilate the room
immediately. Do not touch or bring your face close
to the broken pieces.

Failure to observe this may cause the user to absorb

the gas which was released when the lamp broke and
which contains nearly the same amount of mercury
as fluorescent lamps, and the broken pieces may
cause injury.

If you believe that you have absorbed the gas or that

the gas has got into your eyes or mouth, seek
medical advice immediately.

Ask your dealer about the replacement of the lamp

unit and check the inside of the projector.

Ask an Authorized Service Center to clean inside th e
projector at least once a year.

If dust is left to build up inside the projector without

being cleaned out, it can result in fire or problems
with operation.

It is a good idea to clean the inside of the projector

before the season for humid weather arrives. Ask
your nearest Authorized Service Center to clean the
projector when required. Please discuss with the

Cautions when installing

Precautions with regard to safety

Avoid setting up in places which are subject to
vibration or shocks.

The internal parts can be damage d, which may cause

malfunctions or accidents.

Avoid setting up in places which are subject to
sudden temperature changes, such as near an air
conditioner or lighting equipment.

The life of the lamp may be shortened or the projector

may be turned off. See “TEMP indicator” on page 45.

Do not set up the projector near high-voltage power
lines or near motors.

The projector may be subject to electromagnetic

interference.

Cautions on use

In order to get the best picture quality

Draw curtains or blinds over any windows and turn off

any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or
light from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen.

Do not touch the surfaces of the lens with your bare
hands.

If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from

fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified
and projected onto the screen. Moreover, when not
using the projector, attach the lens cover.

Liquid crystal panel

Do not project the same image for long periods of

time, as this may remain as an afterimage on the
liquid crystal panel. Display the white screen test
pattern for more than an hour to remove it. See
“ZOOM/FOCUS” on page 40.

The liquid crystal panel of the projector is built with

very high precision technology to provide fine picture
details. Occasionally, a few stuck pixels may appear
on the screen as fixed points of blue, green or red. It
is recommended to switch off the projector once and
try after 1 hour later again. Please note that this does
not affect the performance of your LCD.

If installing the projector to the ceiling, ask a
qualified technician or an Authorized Service Center
to carry out all installation work.

You will need to purchase the separate installation kit

(Model No. ET-PKE2000, ET-PKE1000S).
Furthermore, all installation work should only be
carried out by a qualified technician.

See “Ceiling mount bracket safeguards” on page 56

for the safety cable installation.

If using this projector at high elev at io n s 1 400 ­2 700 m (4 593 - 8 858 ft) sea level, set the HIGH
ALTITUDE MODE to ON. See “HIGH ALTITUDE
MODE” on page 44.

Failure to observe this may result in malfunctions or

the life of the lamp or the other components may be
shortened.

The projector has a high pressure mercury la mp and
that is characterized as follows.

The brightness of the lamp depends on the duration

of use.

The lamp may explode or shorten the lamp life by

shocks or chipping damage.

The lamp may explode only occasionally after using

the projector.

The lamp may explode if using the projector after the

instructed lamp replacement timing.

When the lamp exploded, it emits the internal smoke-

like gas.

The lamp life depends on individual lamp

characteristics, usage condition and the installation
environment. Especially the consecutive use of the
projector for more than 10 hours, or the frequent
switching on or off may greatly affect on the lamp life.

Optical components

If you use the projector consecutively 6 hours every

day , the optical component s may need to be replaced
in less than 1 year.
