Precautions with regard to safety

8 - E

NGLISH

Preparation

Do not cover the air inlet port or the air outlet port.

 

Doing so may cause the projector to overheat, which 
can cause fire or damage to the projector.

 

Do not place the projector in narrow, badly ventilated 
places such as closets or bookshelves.

 

Do not place the projector on cloth or papers, as 
these materials could be drawn into the air inlet port.

Do not set up the projector in humid or dusty places 
or in places where the projector may come into 
contact with oily smoke or steam.

 

Using the projector under such conditions may result 
in fire, electric shocks or plastic deterioration. The 
plastic deterioration may cause the falling down of 
the projector which is mounted in the ceiling.

When disconnecting the power cord, hold the plug, 
not the cord.

 

If the power cord itself is pulled, the cord will become 
damaged, and fire, short-circuits or serious electric 
shocks may result.

Always disconnect all cables before moving the 
projector.

 

Moving the projector with cables still attached can 
damage the cables, which could cause fire or electric 
shocks to occur.

Do not place any heavy objects on top of the 
projector.

 

Failure to observe this may cause the projector to 
become unbalanced and fall, which could result in 
damage or injury.

Do not short-circuit, heat or disassemble the 
batteries or place them into water or fire.

 

Failure to observe this may cause the batteries to 
overheat, leak, explode or catch fire, and burns or 
other injury may result.

When inserting the batteries, make sure the 
polarities (+ and -) are correct.

 

If the batteries are inserted incorrectly, they may 
explode or leak, and fire, injury or contamination of 
the battery compartment and surrounding area may 
result.

Use only the specified batteries.

 

If incorrect batteries are used, they may explode or 
leak, and fire, injury or contamination of the battery 
compartment and surrounding area may result.

Do not mix old and new batteries.

 

If the batteries are inserted incorrectly, they may 
explode or leak, and fire, injury or contamination of 
the battery compartment and surrounding area may 
result.

Do not put your weight on this projector.

 

You could fall or the projector could break, and injury 
may result.

 

Be especially careful not to let young children stand 
or sit on the projector.

If not using the projector for an extended period of 
time, disconnect the power cord plug from the wall 
outlet.

 

If dust builds up on the power cord plug, the resulting 
humidity may damage the insulation, which could 
result in fire.

Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet 
as a safety precaution before carrying out any 
cleaning.

 

Electric shocks can result if this is not done.

If the lamp has broken, ventilate the room 
immediately. Do not touch or bring your face close 
to the broken pieces.

 

Failure to observe this may cause the user to absorb 
the gas which was released when the lamp broke 
and which contains nearly the same amount of 
mercury as fluorescent lamps, and the broken pieces 
may cause injury.

 

If you believe that you have absorbed the gas or that 
the gas has got into your eyes or mouth, seek 
medical advice immediately.

 

Ask your dealer about the replacement of the lamp 
unit and check the inside of the projector.

Ask an Authorized Service Center to clean inside 
the projector at least once a year.

 

If dust is left to build up inside the projector without 
being cleaned out, it can result in fire or problems 
with operation.

 

It is a good idea to clean the inside of the projector 
before the season for humid weather arrives. Ask 
your nearest Authorized Service Center to clean the 
projector when required. Please discuss with the 
Authorized Service Center regarding cleaning costs.

We are constantly making efforts to preserve and maintain a clean environment. Please take non repairable 
units back to your dealer or a recycling company.
