A PIN code consists of a four-digit number. Refer to the PIN code lock function in the Setting Menu on pages 50-51 for locking operation of the projector with your PIN code.

CAUTION ON HANDLING THE PIN CODE

If you forget your PIN code, the projector can no longer be started. Take a special care in setting a new PIN code; write down the number in a column on page 72 of this manual and keep it at hand. Should the PIN code be missing or forgotten, consult your dealer or service center.

When the projector has cooled down enough to be

turned on again, the POWER indicator stops blinking.

TO MAINTAIN THE LAMP LIFE, ONCE YOU TURN THE PROJECTOR ON, WAIT AT LEAST 5 MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT OFF.

DO NOT OPERATE THE PROJECTOR CONTINUOUSLY WITHOUT REST. CONTINUOUS USE MAY RESULT IN SHORTENING THE LAMP LIFE. TURN OFF THE PROJECTOR AND LET STAND FOR ABOUT AN HOUR IN EVERY 24 HOURS.

“Power off” disappears after 4 seconds.

✔Note:

• When the On start function is “On,” this projector is turned on automatically by connecting the AC power cord to an AC outlet (p. 49).

• The running speed of cooling fans is changed according to the temperature inside the projector.

• Do not put the projector in a case before the projector is cooled enough.

• If the WARNING indicator blinks or emits a red light, see “Warning Indicator” on page 57.

• While the POWER indicator is blinking, the lamp is being cooled down and the projector cannot be turned on. Wait until the POWER indicator stops blinking to turn on the projector again.

• The fan rotation will terminate directly if the AC power cord is unplugged immediately after the projector is turned off.

• The projector can be turned on after the POWER indicator turns red. The waiting time to restart will be shortened when the normal power-off processing for fan cooling is completed, compared with the time the AC power cord is immediately unplugged after the power-off.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR SANYO Ni-MH BATTERY PACK

Observe the following precautions when handling the built-in battery pack of the projector:

● MAKE SURE THAT THE BATTERY PACK IS INSTALLED IN THE PROJECTOR WHEN RECHARGING. USING THE CHARGERS OTHER THAN THE PROJECTOR MAY CAUSE EXPLOSION OR A FIRE.

● The rechargeable battery pack is for use exclusively with this projector. Do not use in other products or this may cause accident.

● Do not throw the battery into fire or heat it. Doing so may cause an explosion or fire.

● Never attempt to disassemble, modify, reconstruct, or solder lead wires directly on to the battery.

● Do not drop or subject to strong forces. Doing so may cause the battery to leak fluid or explode.

● Do not expose to direct sunlight or high temperatures. This may degrade battery performance or cause leakage.

● Avoid contact with water or liquid. Exposure to water or liquid could result in battery corrosion or damage.

● Keep out of reach of children. They may accidentally swallow the battery.

● Do not short-circuit battery terminals with metal objects. Do not store with metal objects or in a metal case.

● The rechargeable battery pack has a limited number of charge cycles and eventually need to be replaced. If it can no longer be recharged, stop charging immediately and replace it with new one.

● Recharge the battery in a place where the temperature is always between 32˚F to 104˚F (0˚C to 40˚C). Charging in the temperature out of this range may result in fluid leak, heat generation, or shortening battery life.

● If you do not use the projector or the Antitheft alarm function for a long period of time, remove the battery from the projector and store it in a place where the temperature is always between –4˚F to 86˚F (–20˚C to 30˚C).

● If a battery leaks and fluid comes in contact with skin, this may cause skin irritation. Flush the affected area thoroughly with water.

● If a battery leaks and fluid gets in contact with eyes, wash your eyes with water immediately and seek medical attention.

● Dispose of used batteries according to your local disposal rule and guidelines.

LAMP HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

This projector uses a high-pressure lamp which must be handled carefully and properly. Improper handling may result in accidents, injury, or create a fire hazard.

● Lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is no guarantee of the same life for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their life in a shorter period of time than other similar lamps.

● If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced, i.e., if the LAMP REPLACE indicator lights

up, replace the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY after the projector has cooled down.

　 (Follow carefully the instructions in the Lamp Replacement section of this manual.) Continuous use of

the lamp with the LAMP REPLACE indicator lighted may increase the risk of lamp explosion.

● A Lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock, or degradation as a result of hours of use, as it

comes to the end of life. Risk of explosion may differ according to the environment or conditions in which the projector and lamp are being used.

IF A LAMP EXPLODES, THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN.

If a lamp explodes, disconnect the projector’s AC plug from the AC outlet immediately. Contact an authorized service station for a checkup of the unit and replacement of the lamp. Additionally, check carefully to ensure that there are no broken shards or pieces of glass around the projector or coming out from the cooling air circulation holes. Any broken shards found should be cleaned up carefully. No one should check the inside of the projector except those who are authorized trained technicians and who are familiar with projector service. Inappropriate attempts to service the unit by anyone, especially those who are not appropriately trained to do so, may result in an accident or injury caused by pieces of broken glass.
