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].
p.41
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.
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.
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:
