Precautions with regard to safety (continued)
CAUTIONS ON USE
IN ORDER TO GET THE PICTURE QUALITY
Draw curtains or blinds over windows and turn off any
lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light
from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen.
Depending on where the projector is used, air exhaust
vents or the warm air from air conditioning can cause a
shimmering effect on the screen. For this reason, take
care not to shield the air exhaust vents and consider the
direction of the air owing from air conditioning.
DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACE OF THE
PROJECTOR LENS WITH YOUR BARE HAND.
If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from ngerprints
or anything else, this will be magnied and projected
onto the screen. Please put the standard lens cover on
the projector when you do not use it.
DO NOT MOVE THE PROJECTOR WHILE
IT IS OPERATING OR SUBJECT IT TO
VIBRATION OR IMPACT.
The service life of its internal components will be
shortened.
THE PROJECTOR HAS A HIGH
PRESSURE MERCURY LAMP THAT IS
CHARACTERIZED AS FOLLOWS:
OPTICAL COMPONENTS
It may be necessary to replace the optical components
such as Liquid crystal panels and Polarizing plates
in less than 1 year if using the projector in a high
temperature environment or in a very dusty, oily smoke
or tobacco smoke environment. For more details,
please contact your dealer.
LIQUID CRYSTAL PANEL
The Liquid crystal panels are precision-made. Note that
in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing
or always lit, but this is not a malfunction.
Do not project the same image for long periods of
time, as this may remain as an afterimage on the liquid
crystal panel. Display the white screen test pattern for
more than an hour to remove it. See “TEST PATTERN”
on page 39.

NOTE:
For best projection image quality, install a screen where sunlight or room lightings do not •
shine directly onto the screen. Close window shades or curtains to block the light and turn
off the lightings.
Do not use the projector at a raised or horizontally tilted position. It may cause the •
projector to malfunction.
However, you can tilt the projector’s body approximately ±30 ° vertically and ±10 °
horizontally.
Over tilting may result in shortening the component’s life.
Do not cover the air outlet port and air intake ports or place anything within 50 cm (20") near them as this may cause damage •
or injury.
