RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

Before operating this projector, read this manual thoroughly
and operate the projector properly.
This projector provides many convenient features and
functions. Operating the projector properly enables you to
manage those features and maintain it in good condition for
many years to come.
Improper operation may result in not only shortening the
product life, but also malfunctions, fire hazard, or other
accidents.
If your projector seems to operate improperly, read this
manual again, check operations and cable connections, and try
the solutions in the “Troubleshooting” section in the back of
this manual. If the problem still persists, contact the dealer
where you purchased the projector or the service center.

Safety Precaution

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC

SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE
TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

– This projector produces intense light from the projection

lens. Avoid staring directly into the lens as much as
possible, otherwise eye damage could result. Be especially
careful that children do not stare directly into the beam.

– Install the projector in a proper position. Otherwise it may

result in fire hazard.

– Allowing the proper amount of space on the top, sides, and

rear of the projector cabinet is critical for proper air
circulation and cooling of the unit. The dimensions shown
here indicate the minimum space required. If the projector
is to be built into a compartment or similarly enclosed, these
minimum distances must be maintained.

– Do not cover the ventilation slot on the projector. Heat build-

up can reduce the service life of your projector, and can also
be dangerous.

– If the projector is unused for an extended time, unplug the

projector from the power outlet.

What is PIN code?

PIN (Personal Identification Number) code is a security code
that allows the person who knows it to operate the
projector. Setting the PIN code prevents unauthorized use
of the projector.

A PIN code consists of a four-digit number. Refer to PIN
code lock function in the Setting Menu on pages 47–48 for
locking operation of the projector with your PIN code.

✔Notes:

•When the Logo select function is "Off,” the logo
will not be displayed on the screen (p.43).

•When the "Countdown off" or "Off" is selected in
the Display function, the countdown will not be
shown on the screen (p.42).

•During the countdown period, all operations are
invalid.

•If the correct PIN code number is not entered for
3 minutes after the PIN code dialog box
appeared, the projector will be turned off
automatically.

CAUTION ON HANDLING THE PIN CODE

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