IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

Save Original Packing Materials

The original shipping carton and packing materials will come in handy if you ever have to
ship your projector. For maximum protection, repack the set as it was originally packed at
the factory.

Moisture Condensation

Never operate this unit immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm location.
When the unit is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture may condense on the
lens and the crucial internal parts. To prevent the unit from possible damage, do not use
the unit for at least 2 hours when there is an extreme or sudden change in temperature.

Place and Manner of Installation

• Do not place in hot locations, such as near heating equipment. Doing so could cause
malfunction, and shorten the life of the projector.

• Avoid locations with oil or cigarette smoke. Doing so will dirty the optical parts, shortening
their lives, and darkening the screen.

• Using this instrument near a TV or radio may cause interference to the images or audio
sound. If this happens, move it away from the TV or radio.

• Moving the projector from a low-temperature room to a high-temperature room may cause
condensation on the lens or internal parts in the instrument. If you continue to use it in
that situation, the malfunction may result. Ensure to wait until the condensation naturally
disappears.

• Do not use the projector while holding it in your hands or lap.

• Do not use the projector near a power source and the like, or in locations like a ship
or vehicle that are subject to vibration or shock. Doing so may lead to a malfunction or
shorten service life.

Before Using

Avoid Volatile Liquid

Do not use volatile liquids, such as an insect spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or
plastic products touching the unit for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.

If cleaning with a chemically saturated cloth, be sure to follow the product’s precautions.
