About the installation place

Do not install the projector in a place that cannot support
its weight securely.

If the installation place is not sturdy enough, the projector
could fall or overturn, possibly causing personal injury.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This
unit has been engineered and manufactured to assure
your personal safety. But IMPROPER USE CAN RESULT
IN POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE
HAZARD. In order not to defeat the safeguards
incorporated into this product, observe the following basic
rules for its installation, use and service. Please read
these Important Safeguards carefully before use.

result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

- Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or
table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a
child or adult, and serious damage to the product. The
product should be mounted according to the
manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mount
recommended by the manufacturer.

-When the product is used on a cart,
care should be taken to avoid quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces which may cause the product

equipment or causing possible injury to
the operator.

-Slots and openings in the cabinet are

provided for ventilation. These ensure
reliable operation of the product and protect it from
overheating. These openings must not be blocked or
covered. (The openings should never be blocked by
placing the product on bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. It
should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a
bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided and
the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.)

- To allow better heat dissipation, keep a clearance between
this unit and its surrounding as shown below. When this
unit is enclosed in a space of dimensions as shown below,
use an air-conditioner so that the internal and external
temperatures are the same.

- This product should be operated only with the type of
power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supply to your home, consult your
product dealer or local power company.

- This product is equipped with a three-wire plug. This plug
will fit only into a grounded power outlet. If you are unable
to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the grounded plug.

- Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them. Pay particular attention to cords at doors,
plugs, receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
product.

- For added protection of this product during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage to
the product due to lightning and power line surges.

- Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or
convenience receptacles on other equipment as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

- Never push objects of any kind into this product through
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

- Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltages and other hazards. Refer all service to qualified
service personnel.

-

qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

a) When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen on the product.
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the

operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the Operation Manual, as an improper adjustment
of controls may result in damage and will often require
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product

to normal operation.
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance -

this indicates a need for service.

Safety Precautions (Continued)

-

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product,
ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

- The product should be placed more than one foot away
from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, and other products (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.

- When connecting other products such as VCR’s, and DVD
players, you should turn off the power of this product for
protection against electric shock.

- Do not place combustibles behind the cooling fan. For
example, cloth, paper, matches, aerosol cans or gas
lighters that present special hazards when over heated.

- Do not look into the projection lens while the illumination
lamp is turned on. Exposure of your eyes to the strong
light can result in impaired eyesight.

- Do not look into the inside of this unit through vents
(ventilation holes), etc. Do not look at the illumination lamp
directly by opening the cabinet while the illumination lamp
is turned on. The illumination lamp also contains ultraviolet
rays and the light is so powerful that your eyesight can be
impaired.

- Do not drop, hit, or damage the light-source lamp (lamp
unit) in any way. It may cause the light-source lamp to
break and lead to injuries. Do not use a damaged light
source lamp. If the light-source lamp is broken, ask your
dealer to repair it. Fragments from a broken light-source
lamp may cause injuries.

- The light-source lamp used in this projector is a high
pressure mercury lamp. Be careful when disposing of the
lightsource lamp. If anything is unclear, please consult
your dealer.

- Do not ceiling-mount the projector to a place which tends
to vibrate; otherwise, the attaching fixture of the projector
could be broken by the vibration, possibly causing it to fall
or overturn, which could lead to personal injury.

- Use only the accessory cord designed for this product to
prevent shock.

*DO NOT allow any unqualified person to install the

unit.

Be sure to ask your dealer to install the unit (e.g.
attaching it to the ceiling) since special technical
knowledge and skills are required for installation. If
installation is performed by an unqualified person, it
may cause personal injury or electrical shock.

POWER CONNECTION

The power supply voltage rating of this product is
AC110 V – AC240 V. Use only the power cord
designated by our dealer to ensure Safety and EMC.

Ensure that the power cable used for the projector is the
correct type for the AC outlet in your country. Consult
your product dealer.

countries

WARNING:
Do not cut off the main plug from this equipment.

If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in
your home or the cable is too short to reach a power
point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved
extension lead or adapter or consult your dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, dispose of the
plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock hazard by
inadvertent connection to the main supply. If a new main
plug has to be fitted, then follow the instruction given
below.

About Cool Down mode

...............................

z

The Cool Down mode is a function
to cool down the lamp for
approximately 60 seconds after
projection is complete.
This function prevents the internal
parts of the unit from deformation
or damage due to overheating of
the lamp. It also prevents lamp
blowout and premature shortening
of lamp life.

z During Cool Down mode, the

[STANDBY/ON] indicator blinks in
red.

z After the Cool Down mode is

complete, the unit automatically
returns to standby mode.

z Do not pull out the power plug

during Cool Down mode. This may
shorten the lamp life and cause a
malfunction.
