B Overview

Precautions

are of reflecting material, it is recommended that the carpet and wall paper be changed to a dark color.

On safety

• Check that the operating voltage of your unit is identical with the voltage of your local power supply.

• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unpl ug the unit an d ha v e it checked by qualified personnel before operating it further.

• Unplug the unit fro m the wall outlet if it is not to be used for sev e ral days.

• To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

• The wall outlet should be near the unit and easily accessible.

• The unit is not disconnected to the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet , even if the unit itself has been turned off.

• Do not look into the lens while the lam p is on.

• Do not place your ha nd or objects ne ar the ventilation holes. The air coming out is hot.

• Be careful no t to have yo ur fin gers caug ht by the adjuster. The powered tilt adjuster of this unit automatically extends when the power is turned on, and is put away automatically when the power is turned off. Do not touch the unit while the adjuster is in operation. Adjust the powered tilt adjuster carefully after its automatic operation is completed.

• Do not spread a cloth or paper under the unit.

On illumination

• To obtain the best picture, the front of the screen should not be exposed to direct lighting or sunlight.

• Ceiling-mounted spot lighting is recommended. Use a cover over fluorescent lamps to avoid lowering the contrast ratio.

• Cover any windows that face th e scr een with opaque draperies.

• It is desirable to install the unit in a room where floor and walls are not of lightreflecting material. If the floor and walls

On preventing internal heat buildup

After you turn off the power with the I / 1 key, do not disconnect the unit from the wall outlet while the cooling fan is still running.

Caution

The unit is equipped with ventilation holes (intake) and ventilation holes (exhaust). Do not block or place anything near these holes, or internal heat build-up may occur, causing picture degradation or damage to the projector.

On cleaning

• To keep the cabinet looking new, periodically clean it with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains ma y be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent solution. Never use strong solvents, such as thinner, benzene, or abrasive cleansers, since these will damage the cabinet.

• Avoid touching the lens. To remo ve dust on the lens, use a sof t dry cloth. Do no t use a damp cloth, dete rgent solution, or thinner.

• Clean the filter at regular intervals.

On LCD data projector

• The LCD data projector is manufactured using high-precision technology. You may, however, see tiny black points and/or bright points (red, blue, or green) that continuously ap pear on the LCD data projector. This is a normal result of the manufacturing process and does not indicate a malfunction.

6 Precautions

Notes on Installation

Unsuitable Installation

Do not install the projector in the following situations. These installations may cause malfunct ion or damage to the unit.

Poorly ventilated

• Allow adequate air circulation t o prevent internal heat build-up. Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilatio n holes. When the internal heat builds up due to the block-up, the temperature sensor will function with the message “High temp.! Lamp off in 1 min.” The power will be turned off automatically after one minute.

• Leave space of more than 30 cm (11 inches) around the unit.

• Be careful that the ventilation holes may inhale tininess such as a piece of paper.

Highly heated and humid

Subject to direct cool or warm air from an air-conditioner

Installing in such a location may cause malfunction of the unit due to moisture condensation or rise in temperature.

Near a heat or smoke sensor

Malfunction of the sensor may be cause d.

Very dusty, extremely smoky

Avoid installing the unit in a very dusty or extremely smoky environment . Otherwise, the air filter will become obstructed, and this may cause a malfunction of the unit or damage it. Dust preventing the air passing through the filter may cause a rise in the internal temperature of the unit. Clean the filter periodically.

Overview

• Avoid installing the unit in a location where the temperature or humidity is very high, or temperature is very low.

• To avoid moisture condensation, do not install the unit in a location where the temperature may rise rapidly.

Notes on Installation

Unsuitable Conditions Usage in High Altitude

Do not use the pr ojector unde r the follo wing conditions.

Toppling the unit

Avoid using as the unit topples over on its side. It may cause mal function.

Tilting the unit to the right or left

Avoid tilting the unit to an angle o f 15°, and avoid installi ng the unit in any way ot her than placing on th e floor or susp ending fro m the ceiling. Such installation may cause color shading or shorten the lamp life excessively.

When using the p rojector at an altitude of 1,500 m or higher, turn on “High Altitude Mode” in the INSTALL SETTING menu. Failing to set this mode when using the projector at high altitudes could have adverse effects, such as reducing the reliability of certain components.

Note on carrying the projector

The unit is manuf actured using highprecision technology. When transporting the unit stored in the carrying case, do not drop the unit or subject it to shock, as this may cause damage. When storing the unit in the carrying c ase, disc onnect the AC power cord and all other connecting cables or cards, and store the supplied accessories in a pocket of the carrying case.

Note on the screen

When using a screen with an uneven surface, stripes pattern may rarely appear on the screen depending on the distance between the screen and the projector or the zooming magnifications. This is not a m alfun c tio n of the projector.

Blocking the ventilation holes

Avoid using a thick-piled carpet or anything that covers the ventilation hole s (exhaust/ intake); otherwise, the internal heat may build up.

For details on the ventilation holes (intake/ exhaust), see “Location and Function of Controls” on page 12.

Variety of network presentations

Air Shot feature incorporated

Air Shot features data transmission from a computer to the projecto r via wireless LAN. Use of the supplied wireless LAN card (for the projector) and the USB wireless LAN module (for a computer) enables a wireless presentation. A Simple Mode is also available without setting up the network and wireless LAN configurations, allowing you to start the wireless presentation easily if y ou ar e usin g the wireless LAN for the first time.

For details on the Air Shot feature, refer to “Operating Instructions for Air Shot” and “PROJECTOR STATION for Air Shot Help” contained in the supplied CD-ROM.

About the Supplied Manuals

Presentation without connecting a computer

Use of a Memory Stick enables you to run a simple presentation without connecting a computer. “PROJECTOR STATION for Presentation” software is supplied, allowing you to cr eat e files for a presentation.

For more information, refer to “Operating Instructions for Memory Stick” and “PROJECTOR STATION for Presentation” in Help.

Presentation tool with a laser pointer
