WARNING:
POWER
The wall outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible when problems occur. If the following problems occur, disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet immediately.
Continued use of the projector in these conditions will result in fire or electric shock.
zzIf foreign objects or water get inside the projector, disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet. zzIf the projector is dropped or the cabinet is broken, disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet.
zzIf you notice smoke, strange smells or noise coming from the projector, disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet.
zzYou have to disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet to cut off the power supply.
Please contact an Authorized Service Center for repairs, and do not attempt to repair the projector yourself.
During a thunderstorm, do not touch the projector or the cable.
Electric shocks can result.
Do not do anything that might damage the power cord or the power plug.
If the power cord is used while damaged, electric shocks, short-circuits or fire will result.
zzDo not damage the power cord, make any modifications to it, place it near any hot objects, bend it excessively, twist it, pull it, place heavy objects on top of it or wrap it into a bundle.
Ask an Authorized Service Center to carry out any repairs to the power cord that might be necessary.
Completely insert the power plug into the wall outlet and the power connector into the projector terminal.
If the plug is not inserted correctly, electric shocks or overheating will result.
zzDo not use plugs which are damaged or wall outlets which are coming loose from the wall.
Do not use anything other than the provided power cord.
Failure to observe this will result in fire or electric shocks. Please note that if you do not use the provided power cord to ground the device on the side of the outlet, this may result in electric shocks.
Clean the power plug regularly to prevent it from becoming covered in dust.
Failure to observe this will cause a fire.
zzIf dust builds up on the power plug, the resulting humidity can damage the insulation.
zzIf not using the projector for an extended period of time, pull the power plug out from the wall outlet.
Pull the power plug out from the wall outlet and wipe it with a dry cloth regularly.
Do not handle the power plug and power connector with wet hands.
Failure to observe this will result in electric shocks.
Do not overload the wall outlet.
If the power supply is overloaded (ex., by using too many adapters), overheating may occur and fire will result.
ON USE/INSTALLATION
Do not place the projector on soft materials such as carpets or sponge mats.
Doing so will cause the projector to overheat, which can cause burns, fire or damage to the projector.
Do not set up the projector in humid or dusty places or in places where the projector may come into contact with oily smoke or steam, ex. a bathroom.
Using the projector under such conditions will result in fire, electric shocks or components deterioration. Components deterioration (such as ceiling mount brackets) may cause the projector which is mounted on the ceiling to fall down.
Do not install this projector in a place which is not strong enough to take the full weight of the projector or on top of a surface which is sloped or unstable.
Failure to observe this will cause projector to fall down or tip over the projector, and severe injury or damage could result.
Installation work (such as ceiling mount bracket) should only be carried out by a qualified technician.
If installation is not carried out and secured correctly, it can cause injury or accidents, such as electric shocks. zzBe sure to use the wire provided with the ceiling mount bracket as an extra safety measure to prevent the
projector from falling down. (Install in a different location to the ceiling mount bracket.)
Do not cover the air intake/exhaust ports.
Doing so will cause the projector to overheat, which can cause fire or damage to the projector. zzDo not place the projector in narrow, badly ventilated places.
zzDo not place the projector on cloth or papers, as these materials could be drawn into the air intake port. zzProvide at least 1 m (40") of space between any walls or objects and the exhaust port, and at least 50 cm
(20") of space between any walls or objects and the intake port.
Do not place your hands or other objects close to the air exhaust port.
Doing so will cause burns or damage your hands or other objects.
zzHeated air comes out of the air exhaust port. Do not place your hands or face, or objects which cannot withstand heat close to this port.
