IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
Save Original Packing Materials
The original shipping carton and packing materials will come in handy if you ever have to ship your LCD 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 the projector in hot locations, such as near heating equipment. Doing so could cause malfunction, and shorten the life of the LCD panel.
•Avoid locations with oil or cigarette smoke. Doing so will dirty the LCD panel and other optical parts, shortening their lives, and darkening the screen.
•Do not place slantwise in angle of 20° or more. Doing so could shorten the life of the lamp.
•Using this product 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 of the product. 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 of the projector is reduced. In this case, lower the ambient temperature and use it.
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.
LCD Panel
The life of the LCD panel is limited. Take care over the points below so as to use the panel for years.
•To prolong the life of this panel, never fail to turn the power off when the panel is not in use and make sure that the lamp has gone out. The state of the lamp being extinguished helps enhance the effect of energy saving.
•If the air filter is stained and is clogged up, the main unit inner temperature rises. As a result, the life of the LCD is shortened and a malfunction may also occur.
Clean the air filter from time to time and replace it regularly. It is recommended that this replacement be done at the time of replacing a lamp. (Ask a dealer where the unit was purchased or your nearby service station about an air filter for replacement.)
In the spaces provided below, record the Model and Serial No. located at the bottom of your LCD projector. Model No. Serial No.
Retain this information for future reference.

Preparations
Placing the projector
•Always obey the instructions listed in IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS when placing the unit.
•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 you wish to mount the projector on the ceiling, remove the tilt stand attached to this unit. Mounting the projector with the tilt stand on the ceiling could cause it to fall, resulting in an accident.
•If the projector is ceiling-mounted, install the breaker for turning off the power in case of emergency. Let everyone involved with the use of the projector know that fact.
Determine the placement style.
As shown in the figures below, this unit can be placed in four different styles.
The factory setting is “Front” and “Standard.” Set “Projection mode 1” and “Projection mode 2” in the “Default setting” menu (see 
p.35) in accordance with your needs.
“Front” “Standard”
“Front” “Ceiling” |
“Rear” “Standard” |
“Rear” “Ceiling” |
Determine the projection distance and place the unit.
Determine the projection distance from the lens to the screen to obtain the desired screen size. (The screen sizes listed below are approximate values for a full-size image projected with no keystone adjustment.)
The screen size decreases as the lens comes closer to the screen; it increases as the lens goes away from the screen.
