WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR

MOISTURE.
This Projector has a grounding-type AC line plug. This is a safety feature to be sure that the plug will fit into the

power outlet. Do not try to defeat this safety feature.
This projector produces intense light from the projection lens. Do not stare directly into the lens as possible eye

damage could result. Be especially careful that children do not stare directly into the beam.

The Remote Control Unit, supplied to this projector, emits the laser beam as the Laser Pointer function from the
Laser Light Window while pressing the LASER button (for 1 minute). Do not look into the Laser Light Window or
shine the laser beam on yourself or other people. Eye damage may result.

This projector should be set in the way indicated. If not, it may result in fire hazard.
If the Projector will not be used for an extended time, unplug the new Projector from the power outlet.

READ AND KEEP THIS OWNER'S MANUAL FOR LATER USE.

As the owner of a new Multi-media Projector, you are probably eager to try out your new projector. Before you do, we
suggest that you spend a little time reading this manual to familiarize yourself with the operating procedures, so that you
will receive maximum satisfaction from the many features included in your new projector.
This owner's manual will acquaint you with your projector's features. Reading it will help us too. Through the years, we
have found that many service requests were not caused by problems with our projectors. They were caused by problems
that could have been prevented, if the owner had followed the instructions in the manual.
You can often correct operating problems yourself. If your projector fails to work properly, see "TROUBLESHOOTING"
section on pages 51 ~ 52 and try the solutions marked for each problem.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

TO THE OWNER

INFORMATION TO THE USER

NOTE : This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

CAUTION : TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).

NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE EXCEPT LAMP REPLACEMENT. REFER
SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

Unplug this projector from wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the projector.
c. If the projector has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the projector does not operate normally by following the

operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions as improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and
will often require extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the projector to normal operation.

e. If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been

damaged.

f. When the projector exhibits a distinct change in

performance-this indicates a need for service.

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.

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

This projector is equipped with a
grounding type AC line plug.
Should you be unable to insert the
plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of this grounding type plug.

Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the
projectors.

For added protection to the projector during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will
prevent damage due to lightning and powerline surges.

An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance
and cart combination to overturn.

If the projector is to be built into a compartment or similarly
enclosed, the 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.
