Doing so will cause the projector to overheat, which can cause burns, re or damage to the projector.
Do not set up the projector in humid or dusty places or in places where the projector may come into
contact with oily smoke or steam, ex. a bathroom.
Using the projector under such conditions will result in re, electric shocks or deterioration of components.
Deterioration of components (such as ceiling mount brackets) may cause the projector which is mounted on
the ceiling to fall down.
Do not install this projector in a place which is not strong enough to take the full weight of the
projector or on top of a surface which is sloped or unstable.
Failure to observe this will cause projector to fall down or tip over the projector, and severe injury or damage
could result.

Doing so will cause the projector to overheat, which can cause re or damage to the projector.
Do not place the projector in narrow, badly ventilated places such as closets or bookshelves.
z
Do not place the projector on cloth or papers, as these materials could be drawn into the air inlet port.
z
Do not place your hands or other objects close to the air outlet port.
Doing so will cause burns or damage your hands or other objects.
Heated air comes out of the air outlet port. Do not place your hands or face, or objects which cannot
z
withstand heat close to this port.
Do not cover the air intake/exhaust ports or place anything within 100 mm (4") of them.
Doing so will cause the projector to overheat, which can cause re or damage to the projector.
Do not look and place your skin into the lights emitted from the lens while the projector is being used.
Doing so can cause burns or loss of sight.
Strong light is emitted from the projector’s lens. Do not look or place your hands directly into this light.
z
Be especially careful not to let young children look into the lens. In addition, turn off the main power when
z
you are away from the projector.
Never attempt to remodel or disassemble the projector.
High voltages can cause re or electric shocks.
For any inspection, adjustment and repair work, please contact an Authorized Service Center.
z
Do not project an image with the lens cover attached.
Doing so can cause re.
Do not allow metal objects, ammable objects, or liquids to enter inside of the projector. Do not allow
the projector to get wet.

Cautions on use
In order to view clear video images
■
Clear, high contrast video can be viewed when curtains are closed and lights near the screen are extinguished in
z
order to stop light from reaching the screen.
In some rare cases, depending on the usage environment a “ickering” may appear on the screen due to the
z
effects of air from the exhaust port or hot/cold air from air conditioners. Do not set up this projector in a situation
where air from the exhaust of this device or other devices, or air from air conditioners is circulated to the front of
this device.
The focus of high brightness projection lenses may not be stable immediately after turning power on due to the
z
effects of heat from light coming from light sources. Focus stabilizes 30 minutes after video projection starts.
Do not touch the surface of the projection lens with bare hands.
■
If ngerprints or dirt are left on the projection lens, they will be enlarged and projected and will prevent the
viewing of clear video images. Also, always replace the lens cover when not using the projector.
About LCD panels
■
LCD panels are manufactured using high precision technologies, but in some cases they may have dead
pixels, or permanently lit pixels. Please understand that this is not a fault.
Also, projecting a still image for extended periods of time may lead to afterimages on LCD panels. Please be
aware that in some cases these afterimages may not disappear completely.
About optical components
■
If using in an environment with a high temperature, or where dust or tobacco smoke is present, the
replacement cycle of optical components such as LCD panels and polarizing plates may shorten even after
less than one year of use. For more details, please contact your dealer.
About the lamp
■
This product uses an internal high pressure mercury lamp for the light source.
High pressure mercury lamps have the following characteristics.
Brightness decreases with usage time.
z
In some cases, the lamp may make a large sound, crack, and reach the end of its lifespan as a result of shocks,
z
damage, and deterioration related to usage period.
Large disparities occur in lifespan due to individual properties and usage conditions. Lifespan is especially
z
affected if you use the lamp continuously for more than 6 hours or switch it ON/OFF rapidly.
Very occasionally the lamp may crack after starting projection.
z
The possibility of cracking increases as the lamp nears the end of its lifespan.
z
If the lamp cracks, gas may be leaked from inside and smoke may be seen.
z
Please prepare a spare lamp in advance.
z
About disposal
To dispose of the product, inquire your local authorities or dealer for correct methods of disposal.
The lamp contains mercury. When disposing of used lamp units, contact your local authorities or dealer for correct
methods of disposal.

You can calculate projection dimensions other than those in the above table from the projection screen size SD (m)
using the formula below.
All units are meters. (Values obtained using the formula below contain a slight error.)
If the projection screen size is assumed to be SD,
Projection screen height (SH) = SD (m) × 0.490 = SD (m) × 0.392
Projection screen width (SW) = SD (m) × 0.872 = SD (m) × 0.920
Minimum distance (LW) = SD (m) × 1.1503 − 0.056 = SD (m) × 1.2169 − 0.054
Maximum distance (LT) = SD (m) × 2.2951 − 0.041 = SD (m) × 2.4248 − 0.037
Front adjustable feet and throwing angle
Install the projector on a at surface with its front side become parallel to the screen surface so that the screen
becomes rectangle.
If the screen is tilted towards the bottom, extend the adjustable feet to make a rectangle screen. If the projector is
tilted horizontally, use the adjustable feet to level the projector.
As shown in the diagram, the feet can be extended by turning the front adjustable feet, and can be retracted by
turning in the opposite direction.
