Precautions

On safety

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

• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the
cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by
qualified personnel before operating it further.

• Unplug the unit from the wa ll outlet if it is not to be
used for several 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 di sconnected to th e AC p ower source
(mains) as long as it is c onnect ed to t he wa ll ou tl et,
even if the unit itself has been turned off.

• Do not look into the lens while the lamp is on.

• Do not place your hand or objects near the
ventilation holes. The air coming out is hot.

On preventing internal heat build-up

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

Caution

The projector is equipped with ventilation holes
(intake) and v entilatio n holes (exha ust). 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 repacking

Save the original shipping carton and packing
material; the y wil l c o me in handy if you ever have to
