Notes for use

Information on SD Memory Card

This SD card is a semiconductor memory with the size of 24mm x 32mm x 2.1mm, as small as a postage stamp, and is expected to be a next-generation recording medium that replaces minidisks (MDs), compact disks (CDs) and cassette tapes. The card allows repetition of data reading, writing and deleting.

Instructions on handling

Abstain from the following:

• To disassemble or modify the card

• To give the card a strong impact, twisting, bending, dropping, treading, or water wetting

• To rub the card with a sheet of cloth or plastics or to bring the card near to anything that is likely to generate static electricity or electromagnetic field.

• To touch the metallic terminal of card with hand or metallic object, to affix stickers, or to stain the card.

• To peel off the label that is affixed to the card.

• To affix other labels or stickers.

• To insert the card into a device that does not accept an SD card (e.g., device for multimedia cards).

• To insert other matters than SD Memory Card in the SD Memory Card slot of the projector.

• To use cracked or deformed card.

• To use the card in a moist place such as bathroom or in a dusty place such as warehouse.

Instruction on storage

Be sure to put the card in the case when it is taken out from the main body.

• Do not put the card in a vehicle or in a place exposed to direct sunlight where it may become hot.

• Do not keep the card in a vehicle that may become hot, a place exposed to direct sunlight or other places in which the temperature is likely to increase, or a place in which corrosive gases may arise.

For protection of important data

• Do not turn off the power or remove the SD Memory Card when data is being read or written (or when the SD Memory Card access lamp is blinking). Doing this may destroy the data.

• Do not forget to make backup of the data stored in the SD card. Note that user's important data is subject to potential destruction although it is very rare to occur.

To create a backup copy of the data stored on the SD card

Double click and open the icon of SD card drive in My Computer of your personal computer (on the desktop if your computer is Macintosh) and drag and drop the "DCIM" folder onto desktop (while pressing the "Option" button, for Macintosh machine). This operation can create copies of all data within the "DCIM" folder into your personal computer.

Write protection switch

• Putting the write-protection switch of SD card to the "LOCK" position will disable image-editing operation such as deleting or moving on the projector (attempt of operation will bring error message).

• If the SD card is inserted into the personal computer by means of the PC card adaptor while the write-protection switch of SD card is set to the "LOCK" position, a blue-screen warning indication will appear when access is made. If this occurs, press any button on the keyboard of your PC to return the indication to the original one. Before using an SD card in your personal computer, ensure that the write-protection switch is not set to the "LOCK" position.

Notes for use

Please be advised of the following information in advance:

• The manufacturer shall not be responsible for any damage, whether direct or indirect, caused by the use of or by the fault of the product.

• The manufacturer shall not be responsible for any damage or destruction of data caused by the product.

Information on wireless card

Notes for use

The optional wireless card (ET-CDWL2E) uses radio wave in the 2.4 GHz band. Although it is not necessary to have a license for radio station to use the wireless card, fully understand the following instructions:

Do not use the cards near other sources of radio emissions.

The following devices may use the same frequencies that are used by the wireless card. If the wireless card is used near such devices, radio interference may prevent successful communication, or it may result in slower communication speeds being achieved.

• Industrial, scientific, medical equipment, etc

• Electric stoves, etc

• Built-in radio devices used for identifying moving equipment in industrial

production lines

• Certain low-power radio devices

Keep the wireless card as far away as possible from devices such as mobile telephones, TVs and radios when using such devices

Devices such as mobile telephones, TVs and radios use different frequencies from the wireless card, so that there will be no effect on either wireless card communication or on reception or transmission for such devices. However, radio emissions from the wireless card may cause video or audio interference.

Notes for use

Radio emissions from the wireless card will not travel through steel framework, metal sheets or concrete.

It is not possible to keep communication through walls or floors made of reinforcing steel bars, metals or concrete although it is possible to keep communication through walls and floors made of wood or glass (excluding glass reinforced with metal wires).
