Safety

• Operate the projection TV only on 120 V

AC.

• The plug is designed, for safety purposes,
to fit into the wall outlet only one way. If

you are unable to insert the plug fully

into the outlet, contact your dealer.

• If any liquid or solid object should fall
inside the cabinet, unplug the projection

TV immediately and have it checked by
qualified service personnel before
operating it further.

• If you will not be using the projection TV
for several days, disconnect the power by

pulling the plug itself. Never pull on the
cord.

Note on cleaning

Clean the cabinet of the projection TV with a
dry soft cloth. To remove dust from the

screen, wipe it gently with a soft cloth.
Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth

slightly dampened with solution of mild
soap and warm water. Never use strong

solvents such as thinner or benzine for
cleaning.

If the picture becomes dark after using the
projection TV for a long period of time, it
may be necessary to clean the inside of the

projection TV. Consult qualified service
personnel.

Installing

• To prevent internal heat buildup, do not
block the ventilation openings.

• Do not install the projection TV in a hot

or humid place, or in a place subject to
excessive dust or mechanical vibration.

• Avoid operating the projection TV at
temperatures below 5_C (41 _F).

• If the projection TV is transported

directly from a cold to a warm location,
or if the room temperature changes

suddenly, the picture may be blurred or
show poor color. In this case, please wait

a few hours to let the moisture evaporate

before turning on the projection TV.

• To obtain the best picture, do not expose
the screen to direct illumination or direct

sunlight. It is recommended to use spot
lighting directed down from the ceiling

or to cover the windows that face the

screen with opaque drapery. It is

desirable to install the projection TV in a

room where the floor and walls are not of

a reflective material.
