- This product should be operated only with the type of power 

source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of 
power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local 
power company.

- This product is equipped with a three-wire plug. This plug will 

fit only into a grounded power outlet. If you are unable to insert 
the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to install the 
proper outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded 
plug.

- Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely 

to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against 
them. Pay particular attention to cords at doors, plugs, 
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

- For added protection of this product during a lightning storm, or 

when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, 
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the cable system. 
This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and 
power line surges.

- Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or convenience 

receptacles on other equipment as this can result in a risk of fire 
or electric shock.

- Never push objects of any kind into this product through 

openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short 
out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill 
liquid of any kind on the product.

- Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or 

removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages and 
other hazards. Refer all service to qualified service personnel.

- Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer service to 

qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

a) When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen on the product.
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating 

instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the 
Operation Manual, as an improper adjustment of controls may result 
in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified 
technician to restore the product to normal operation.

e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance - this 

indicates a need for service.

- When replacement parts are required, be sure the service 

technician has used replacement parts specified by the 
manufacturer or with same characteristics as the original part. 
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or 
other hazards.

- Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the 

service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the 
product is in proper operating condition.

- The product should be placed more than one foot away from 

heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, and other 
products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

- When connecting other products such as VCR’s, and DVD 

players, you should turn off the power of this product for 
protection against electric shock.

- Do not place combustibles behind the cooling fan. For example, 

cloth, paper, matches, aerosol cans or gas lighters that present 
special hazards when over heated.

- Do not look into the projection lens while the illumination lamp 

is turned on. Exposure of your eyes to the strong light can result 
in impaired eyesight.

- Do not look into the inside of this unit through vents (ventilation 

holes), etc. Do not look at the illumination lamp directly by 
opening the cabinet while the illumination lamp is turned on. 
The illumination lamp also contains ultraviolet rays and the light 
is so powerful that your eyesight can be impaired.

- Do not drop, hit, or damage the light-source lamp (lamp unit) in 

any way. It may cause the light-source lamp to break and lead to 
injuries. Do not use a damaged light source lamp. If the light-
source lamp is broken, ask your dealer to repair it. Fragments 
from a broken light-source lamp may cause injuries.

- The light-source lamp used in this projector is a high pressure 

mercury lamp. Be careful when disposing of the lightsource 
lamp. If anything is unclear, please consult your dealer.

- Do not ceiling-mount the projector to a place which tends to 

vibrate; otherwise, the attaching fixture of the projector could be 
broken by the vibration, possibly causing it to fall or overturn, 
which could lead to personal injury.

- Use only the accessory cord designed for this product to prevent 

shock.

*DO NOT allow any unqualified person to install the unit.

Be sure to ask your dealer to install the unit (e.g. attaching it 
to the ceiling) since special technical knowledge and skills 
are required for installation. If installation is performed by an 
unqualified person, it may cause personal injury or electrical 
shock.
