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 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
.
Before Using
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.
• Do not use the product vertically in any upright position or slantwise in an angle of 20 degrees or
more.
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.
In a high altitude location where air is thin, cooling efficiency is reduced so use it with the ambient
temperature being lowered.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS (Continued)
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.
In the spaces provided below, record the Model and Serial No. located at the bottom of your projector.
Model No. Serial No.
Retain this information for future reference.

, in accordance with your needs.
WARNING
Preparations
• Always obey the instructions listed in IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS when placing the unit. Attempting to clean/replace the lamp at a high site by yourself may cause you to drop down, thus resulting in injury.
• If you wish to mount the projector on the ceiling, be sure to ask your dealer to do so. Mounting the projector on a ceiling requires special ceiling brackets (sold separately) and specialized knowledge. Improper mounting could cause the projector to fall, resulting in an accident.
• If the projector is ceiling-mounted, install the breaker for turning off the power in case of anomaly. Let everyone involved with the use of the projector know that fact.
Projection Distance and Size
Use the figures, tables, and formulas below to determine the projection size and projection distance. (Projection sizes are approximate values for full-size picture with no keystone adjustment.)

Notes
• Note that a lamp characteristics may rarely cause the brightness to fluctuate slightly.
•A lamp is consumable item. If used for extended periods, images will appear dark, and the lamp could burn out. This is characteristic of a lamp, and is not malfunction. (The lifetime of the lamp depends on conditions of use.)
• The DMD do not light) or bright spots (pixels that are constantly lit) on the panel. Please note that these are not malfunctions.
• Although this projector supports a wide range of RGB signals
this projector (SVGA) will be expanded or shrunk, which will affect image quality slightly. To view high­quality images, it is recommended that the computer’s external output should be set to SVGA (800 ×
600) resolution.
• With some models of computer having LCD displays or the like, displaying images simultaneously on the projector and the monitor’s display may prevent the images from displaying properly. If this happens, turn off the computer’s LCD display. For information on how to turn off the LCD display, see the owner’s manual of your computer.
• If a signal not supported by the projector is input, the “For best image quality, lower image resolution. ” or “For best image quality, refresh rate.” will appear.
• If no signal is being input from the connected device, the “Searching for source” will appear.
