RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

Before operating this projector, read this manual thoroughly and operate the projector properly.  
This projector provides many convenient features and functions.  Operating the projector properly enables you to
manage those features and maintains it in better condition for a considerable time.
Improper operation may result in not only shortening the product-life, but also malfunctions, fire hazard, or other
accidents.
If your projector seems to operate improperly, read this manual again, check operations and cable connections and try
the solutions in the “Trouble-shooting” section of the end of this booklet.  If the problem still persists, contact the sales
dealer where you purchased the projector or the service center.

TO THE OWNER

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING :  TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO

RAIN OR MOISTURE.

This projector produces intense light from the projection lens.  Do not stare directly into the lens. Eye damage
could result.  Be especially careful that children do not stare directly into the beam.

This projector should be set in the way indicated.  If not, it may result in a fire hazard.

Take appropriate space on the top, sides and rear of the projector
cabinet for allowing air circulation and cooling the projector.
Minimum distance should be taken.  If the projector is to be built
into a compartment or similarly enclosed, the minimum distances
must be maintained.  Do not cover the ventilation slot on the
projector.  Heat build-up can reduce the service life of your
projector, and can also be dangerous.

Do not put any flammable object or spray can near the projector, hot air is exhausted from the ventilation
holes.

Remote Control Unit, supplied to this projector, emits the laser beam as the laser pointer function from Laser
Light Window while pressing LASER button (for 1 minute / LASER POINTER INDICATOR lights red to indicate
laser emission).  Do not look into Laser Light Window or shine the laser beam on yourself or other people.  Eye
damage may result.

If the projector is not to be used for an extended time, unplug the projector from the power outlet.

READ AND KEEP THIS USER'S MANUAL FOR LATER USE.
