IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

Moisture Condensation

Never operate this unit immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm location. When the unit is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture may condense on the lens and the crucial internal parts. Do not use the unit for at least 2 hours when there is an extreme or sudden change in temperature to prevent the unit from possible damage.

Place and Manner of Installation

Do not place in hot locations, such as near heating equipment. Doing so could cause

• malfunction, and shorten the life of the projector. Avoid locations with oil or cigarette smoke. Doing so will dirty the optical parts, shortening

• their lives, and darkening the screen. Do not use this product in the upright position or tilt it up or down by more than 20° from

• level. Doing so may cause a failure or shorten the life of the product. Using this instrument near a TV or radio may cause interference to the images or audio

• sound. If this happens, move it away from the TV or radio. Moving the projector from a low-temperature room to a high-temperature room may cause

• condensation on the lens or internal parts. If you continue to use it in that situation, it may malfunction. Wait until the condensation naturally disappears. In a high altitude location where air is thin, cooling efﬁciency is reduced so use the

• projector with [Fan mode] set to [High]. Only plug the power cord into outlets rated for use with the power cord’s speciﬁed voltage range.

• Do not overload extension cords or power strips as this can result in ﬁre or electric shock. Route the power cable or the connecting cable away from where people could trip over it.

• The projector may fall down, which could result in severe injury. Be sure the power cord is easily reached for unplugging in case of emergency. Do not

• place any obstacles near a wall outlet in which the cord is plugged.

Before Using

Avoid Volatile Liquid

Do not use volatile liquids, such as an insect spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products touching the unit for a long time as they will leave marks on the ﬁnish. Do not use a chemically saturated cloth.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS (Continued)

LCD Panel

If the air ﬁlter is stained and is clogged up, the main unit inner temperature rises. As a

• result, the life of the LCD is shortened and a malfunction may also occur. Clean the air ﬁlter from time to time and replace it regularly. It is recommended that this replacement be done at the time of replacing a lamp. (Ask your sales representative where the unit was purchased or your nearby service station about an air ﬁlter for replacement.)

REMOTE CONTROL BATTERIES

Warning

Never throw batteries into a ﬁre.

•

Using the batteries improperly may cause them to explode or leak and may result in serious injury. If battery-leaking ﬂuid contacts skin, wash the ﬂuid off immediately with clean water and consult a doctor. If the ﬂuid spills on an instrument, avoid contact and wipe it off using tissue paper. Then dispose of the used tissue paper as ﬂammable garbage after moistening with water.

Before Using

Notes

Be sure to use AAA (R03) size batteries.

• Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area.

• Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery disposal.

• Do not mix different battery types or combine used batteries with new ones.

• If the remote control does not operate correctly, or if the operating range becomes

• reduced, replace both batteries with new ones. If the batteries are dead or if you will not be using the remote control for a long time,

• remove the batteries to prevent battery acid from leaking into the battery compartment.

Following information is only for EU-member states:

• [Disposal of batteries and/or accumulators] The crossed out wheeled dust bin symbol indicates that batteries and/or

accumulators must be collected and disposed of separately from household waste.

If the battery or accumulator contains more than the speciﬁed values of lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), and/or cadmium (Cd) deﬁned in the Battery Directive (2006/66/EC), then the chemical symbols for lead (Pb), mercury (Hg) and/or cadmium (Cd) will appear below the crossed out wheeled dust bin symbol.

By participating in separate collection of batteries, you will help to assure the proper disposal of products and batteries and thus help to prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health.

For more detailed information about the collection and recycling programmes available in your country, please contact your local city ofﬁce or the shop where you purchased the product.
