Precautions with regard to safety

WARNING

POWER

The wall outlet or the circuit breaker shall be 

installed near the equipment and shall be easily 

accessible when problems occur. If the followings 

problems occur, cut off the power supply 

immediately.

Continued use of the projector in these conditions will 

result in fire or electric shock.

If foreign objects or water get inside the projector, cut 

• 

off the power supply.

If the projector is dropped or the cabinet is broken, cut 

• 

off the power supply.

If you notice smoke, strange smells or noise coming 

• 

from the projector, cut off the power supply.

Please contact an Authorized Service Center for 

repairs, and do not attempt to repair the projector 

yourself.

During a thunderstorm, do not touch the projector 

or the cable.

Electric shocks can result.

Do not do anything that might damage the power 

cord or the power plug.

If the power cord is used while damaged, electric 

shocks, short-circuits or fire will result.

Do not damage the power cord, make any 

• 

modifications to it, place it near any hot objects, bend 

it excessively, twist it, pull it, place heavy objects on 

top of it or wrap it into a bundle.

Ask an Authorized Service Center to carry out any 

repairs to the power cord that might be necessary.

Insert the power plug securely into the wall outlet.

If the plug is not inserted correctly, electric shocks or 

overheating will result.

Do not use anything other than the provided power 

• 

cord.

Do not use the provided power cord for other 

• 

electrical equipment.

Do not use plugs which are damaged or wall outlets 

• 

which are coming loose from the wall.

Clean the power plug regularly to prevent it from 

becoming covered in dust.

Failure to observe this will cause a fire.

If dust builds up on the power plug, the resulting 

• 

humidity can damage the insulation.

If not using the projector for an extended period of 

• 

time, pull the power plug out from the wall outlet.

Pull the power plug out from the wall outlet and wipe it 

with a dry cloth regularly.

Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.

Failure to observe this will result in electric shocks.

Do not overload the wall outlet.

If the power supply is overloaded (ex., by using too 

many adapters), overheating may occur and fire will 

result.

ON USE/INSTALLATION

Do not place liquid containers on top of the 

projector.

If water spills onto the projector or gets inside it, fire or 

electric shocks will result.

If any water gets inside the projector, contact an 

Authorized Service Center.

Do not place the projector on soft materials such as 

carpets or sponge mats.

Doing so will cause the projector to overheat, which  

can cause burns, fire or damage to the projector.

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, ex. a bathroom.

Using the projector under such conditions will result 

in fire, electric shocks or components deterioration. 

Components deterioration (such as ceiling mount 

brackets) may cause the projector which is mounted on 

the ceiling to fall down.

Do not install this projector in a place which is 

not strong enough to take the full weight of the 

projector or on top of a surface which is sloped or 

unstable.

Failure to observe this will cause projector to fall down 

or tip over the projector, and severe injury or damage 

could result.

Do not place another projector or other heavy 

objects on top of the projector.

Failure to observe this will cause the projector to 

become unbalanced and fall, which could result in 

damage or injury. The projector will be damaged or 

deformed.

Installation work (such as ceiling suspension) 

should only be carried out by a qualified technician.

If installation is not carried out and secured correctly it 

can cause injury or accidents, such as electric shocks.

Do not use anything other than an Authorized ceiling 

• 

mount bracket.

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

Doing so will 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 place your hands or other objects close to 

the air outlet port.

Doing so will cause burns or damage your hands or 

other objects.

Heated air comes out of the air outlet port. Do not 

• 

place your hands or face, or objects which cannot 

withstand heat close to this port.
