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 the
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

Cautions on use
Precautions with regard to safety
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 or the front
glass 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, close the Front panel 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.
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 1hour later again. Please note that this does
not affect the performance of your LCD.
The projector has a high pressure mercury lamp and
that is characterised 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.
The lamp life is 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.

J Calculation methods for screen dimensions
You can calculate more detailed screen dimension from the screen diagonal.
SW = SD x 0.0203 SH = SD x 0.0152
LW = 0.0304 x SD - 0.048 LT = 0.0606 x SD - 0.057
* The results above are approximate and may differ slightly from the actual measurements.
NOTE:
• See “Screen size and throw distance for 16:9 aspect ratio” on page 52.
• Do not use the projector at a raised or a horizontally tilted position as it may cause
malfunction of the projector.
• Make sure the projector lens surface is parallel with the screen. You can tilt the projector
body approximately ± 30° vertically. Overtilting may result in shortening the component’s
life.
• For the best quality of the projection image, install a screen where sun light or room light does not shine directly onto the
screen. Close window shades or curtains to block the lights.
