Safety Precaution

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC

– This projector produces intense light from the projection

lens.Do not stare directly into the lens, otherwise, eye damage could result. Be especially careful that children do not stare directly into the beam.

Install the projector in a proper position. If not, it may

–

result in a fire hazard.

–

Provide appropriate space on the top, sides and rear

of the projector cabinet for allowing air circulation and cooling the projector. Minimum clearance must be maintained. 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.

If the projector is not to be used for an extended time,

–

unplug the projector from the power outlet.

DO NOT SET THE PROjECTOR IN GREASy, WET, OR SMOKy CONDITIONS SUCH AS IN A KITCHEN TO PREVENT A BREAKDOWN OR A DISASTER. IF THE PROjECTOR COMES IN CONTACT WITH OIL OR CHEMICALS, IT MAy BECOME DETERIORATED.

Not for use in a computer room as defined in the Standard for the Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75.

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.

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.

Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of the equipment and to protect it from overheating.

The openings should never be covered with cloth or other materials, and the bottom opening should not be blocked by placing the projector on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This projector should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.

This projector should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a book case unless proper ventilation is provided.

Never push objects of any kind into this projector through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the projector. Do not install the projector near the ventilation duct of airconditioning equipment.

Using the ferrite core

Before using the AC Power Cord, attach the ferrite core (supplied) as shown in the figure. The Power Cord with ferrite core must be used for RF interference suppression.

Connecting the AC Power Cord

This projector uses nominal input voltages of 100-120 V or 200-240 V AC. This projector automatically selects the correct input voltage. It is designed to work with single-phase power systems having a grounded neutral conductor. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not plug into any other type of power system. Consult your authorized dealer or service station if you are not sure of the type of power being supplied. Connect the projector with all peripheral equipment before turning the projector on. (See pages 15-17 for connection.)

CAUTION

The AC outlet must be near this equipment and must be easily accessible.

✔ Note:

Unplug the AC power cord when the projector is not in use. When this projector is connected to an outlet with the AC power cord, it is in Stand-by mode and consumes a little electric power.

A PIN code consists of a four-digit number. Refer to the PIN code lock function in the Setting on pages 53 and 54 for locking operation of the projector with your PIN code.

CAUTION ON HANDLING PIN CODE

If you forget your PIN code, the projector can no longer be started. Set a new PIN code with special care, write it down in column on page 74 of this manual, and keep it

at hand. Should the PIN code be missing or forgotten,

consult your dealer or service center.

• When the On start function is on, this projector is turned on automatically by connecting the AC power cord to an AC outlet. (p.51)

•

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