– Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventila-

tion. These ensure reliable operation of the product and pro-
tect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked
or covered. (The openings should never be blocked by plac-
ing the product on bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. It should
not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or
rack  unless proper ventilation is provided and the
manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.)
For proper ventilation, separate the product from other equip-
ment, which may prevent ventilation and keep a distance of
more than 11-7/8" (30 cm).

– 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 light-
ning 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 per-
sonnel.

– 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 ad-
justment of controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician to re-
store 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 perfor-

mance - 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 de-
termine 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 per-

sonal computers, you should turn off the power of this prod-
uct for protection against electric shock.

– Do not place combustibles behind the cooling fan. For ex-

ample, 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 (ventila-

tion 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 inju-
ries.

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

sure mercury lamp. Be careful when disposing of the light-
source 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 over-
turn, which could lead to personal injury.

– Use only the accessory cord designed for this product to

prevent shock.
The power supply voltage rating of this product is AC 120 V,
AC 100 V– AC 240 V, the power cord attached conforms to
the following power supply voltage. Use only the power cord
designated by our dealer to ensure Safety and EMC.
When it is used by other power supply voltage, power cable
must be changed.
Ensure that the power cable used for the projector is the
correct type for the AC outlet in your country.
Consult your product dealer.

*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.
