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.

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 this product in the upright position or tilt it up or down by more than 20° from level. Doing so may cause a failure or shorten the life of the product.

•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 the projector with [Fan mode] set to [High]. p.45
