B Do not attempt to repair the projector yourself, as this can be dangerous.
Do not install this projector in a place which is not strong enough to
take the full weight of the projector.
B If the installation location is not strong enough, it may fall down or tip over,
and severe injury or damage could result.
Installation work (such as ceiling suspension) should only be carried
out by a qualified technician.
B If installation is not carried out correctly, there is the danger that injury or
electric shocks may occur.
If foreign objects or water get inside the projector, or if the projector is
dropped or the cabinet is broken, disconnect the power cord from the
wall outlet.
B Continued use of the projector in this condition may result in fire or electric
shocks.
B Contact an Authorized Service Center for repairs.

the insulation, which could result in fire.
B This projector continues to draw approximately 6 W of power even when
the power is turned off.
Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet as a safety
precaution before carrying out any cleaning.
B Electric shocks can result if this is not done.

once a year.
B If dust is left to build up inside the projector without being cleaned out, it
can result in fire or problems with operation.
B 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 Authorized
Service Center regarding cleaning costs.
We are constantly making efforts to preserve and maintain a clean
environment. Please take non repairable units back to your dealer or a
recycling company.
Do not look into the lens while the projector is being used.
B Strong light is emitted from the projector’s lens. If you look directly into this
light, it can hurt and damage your eyes.
B Be especially careful not to let young children look into the lens. In
addition, disconnect the power cord when you are away from the projector.
Do not place your hands or other objects close to the air outlet port.
B Heated air comes out of the air outlet port. Do not place your hands or
face, or objects which cannot withstand heat close to this port, otherwise
burns or damage could result.
Replacement of the lamp unit should only be carried out by a qualified
technician.

Before replacing the lamp, be sure to disconnect the power cord from
the wall outlet.
B Electric shocks or explosions can result if this is not done.
Caution
Do not cover the air inlet port or the air outlet port.
B Doing so may cause the projector to overheat, which can cause fire or
damage to the projector.
B Do not place the projector in narrow, badly ventilated places such as
closets or bookshelves.
B Do not place the projector on cloth or papers, as these materials could be
drawn into the air inlet port.
Do not set up the projector in humid or dusty places or in places where
the projector may come into contact with smoke or steam.
B Using the projector under such conditions may result in fire or electric
shocks.
When disconnecting the power cord, hold the plug, not the lead.
B If the power cord itself is pulled, the lead will become damaged, and fire,
short-circuits or serious electric shocks may result.
Always disconnect all cables before moving the projector.
B Moving the projector with cables still attached can damage the cables,
which could cause fire or electric shocks to occur.
Do not place any heavy objects on top of the projector.
B Failure to observe this may cause the projector to become unbalanced

Before use
Caution when moving the projector
Be sure to attach the lens cover before moving the projector.
The projection lens is extremely susceptible to vibration and shocks. When
moving the projector, use the accessory carrying bag. When placing the
projector inside the carrying bag, position it so that the lens is facing upward.
Do not put anything else in the bag other than the projector and the cables.
Cautions regarding setting-up
Avoid setting up in places which are subject to vibration or shocks.
The internal parts can be damaged, which may cause malfunctions or
accidents.
Do not set up the projector near high-voltage power lines or near
motors.
The projector may be subject to electromagnetic interference.
If installing the projector to the ceiling, ask a qualified technician to
carry out all installation work.
You will need to purchase the separate installation kit (Model No.ET-PKC80).
Furthermore, all installation work should only be carried out by a qualified
technician.
If using this projector at high elevations (above 1 400 m), set the “FAN

Notes on use
In order to get the best picture quality
Draw curtains or blinds over any windows and turn off any fluorescent 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, retract the lens and then cover it with the lens cover.
Screen
Do not apply any volatile substances which may cause discoloration to the
screen, and do not let it become dirty or damaged.
Lamp
The lamp may need to be replaced earlier due to variables such as individual
lamp characteristics, usage conditions and the installation environment,
especially when the projector is subjected to continuous use for more than
10 hours or the power is frequently turned on and off.
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 non-active
pixels may appear on the screen as fixed points of blue, green or red.
Please note that this does not affect the performance of your LCD.
Wireless card (PT-LB10NTU only)
Static electricity from the human body can damage the wireless card. To
prevent this, touch a nearby metallic object such as an aluminium sash or a
door knob to dissipate the static charge from your body.
Wireless card slot (PT-LB10NTU only)
Make sure that there are no foreign objects inside the slot when inserting the
wireless card. Failure to observe this may damage the card and the slot.
