Precautions
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 from the wall outlet i f 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 ne ar 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 t he lamp is on.
Do not place your hand or objects near the ventilation holes. The air coming out is hot.
Be careful not to catch your fingers by the adjuster when you adjust th e heig ht o f th e projector. Do not push hard on the top of the projector with the adjuster out.
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 the screen with opaque draperies.
It is desirable to install the projector in a room where floor and walls are not of light-reflecting material. If the floor and walls are of reflecting material, it is recommended that the carpet and wall paper be changed to a dark color.
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 projector is equipped with ven ti lation holes (intake) and ven tilation 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 remove dust on the lens, use a sof t dry cloth. Do no t use a damp cloth, dete rgent solution, or thinner.
On repacking
Save the original shipping carton and packing material; they will come in handy if you ever have to ship your unit. For maximum protection, repack your unit as it was originally packed at th e factory.
On data projector
The 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 appear on the data projector. This is a normal result of the manufacturing process and does not indicate a malfunction.

About the Preset Memory No.
This projector has 37 ty pes of p reset da ta for input signals (the preset memory). When a preset signal is input, t he projector automatically detects the signal type and recalls the data for the signal from the preset memory to adjust it to an optimum picture. The memory number and signal type of that signal are displayed in the INPUT SETTING menu. You can also adjust the preset data through the INPUT SETTING menu. This projector has 20 types of user memories for INPUT-A into which you can save the setting of the adjusted data for an unpreset input signal. When an unpreset signal is input for the first time, a memory number is displayed as 0. When you adjust the d ata of the signa l in the INPUT SETTING menu, it will be registered to the projector. If more than 20 user memories are registered, the newest memory always overwrites the ol dest one.
See the chart on page 4 1 to find if the si gnal is registered to the preset memory.
Since the data is recalled from the preset memory about the following signals, you can use these preset data by adjusting SIZE H. Make fine adjustment by adjusting SHIFT.
