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.

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.

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 CONTROL” to “HIGH”. (Refer to page 45.)
Failure to observe this may result in malfunctions.

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.
