ON USE/INSTALLATION
Do not put your weight on this projector.
You could fall or the projector could break, and injury
will result.
Be especially careful not to let young children stand
z
or sit on the projector.
Do not place the projector in extremely
hot locations.
Doing so will cause the outer casing or internal com-
ponents to deteriorate, or result in fire.
Take particular care in locations exposed to direct
z
sunlight or near stoves.
Always disconnect all cables before mov-
ing the projector.
Moving the projector with cables still attached can
damage the cables, which will cause fire or electric
shocks to occur.
ACCESSORIES
Do not use the old lamp unit.
If used it could cause lamp explosion.
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 will 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 will cause
injury.
If you believe that you have absorbed the gas or that
the gas has got into your eyes or mouth, seek medi-
cal advice immediately.
Ask your dealer about replacing the lamp unit and
check the inside of the projector.
Do not use projectors with the adjustable
feet or lens cover removed.
If this not observed, the sets will not operate correctly
or accidents will result.
Cautions when transporting
When transporting the projector, the adjuster legs
must be housed and do not hold them. Please se-
curely hold only its bottom and none of its other parts
or surfaces as this will result in malfunctions.
When transporting, keep the projector in the
provided carrying bag.
Face the lens of the projector in an upward direc-
z
tion and put it gently into the carrying bag.
Do not put anything other than the projector and its
z
accessories in the carrying bag.
Cautions when installing
Do not use under the following
conditions.
Do not set up the projector outdoors.
z
The projector is designed for indoor use only.
Avoid setting up in places which are subject to
z
vibration or shocks.
If the projector is installed in a place where vibra-
tions are transmitted or mounted in a car or a ves-
sel, vibrations or impacts will result in damage to
the internal parts, causing failure. Install the product
in a place free from vibrations and impacts.
Avoid setting up in places which are subject to
z
sudden temperature changes, such as near an
air conditioner or lighting equipment.
Failure to observe this will result in malfunctions or
the lamp life will be shortened.
See “TEMP indicator” on page 46.
Avoid setting up in places which are near high-
z
voltage power lines or near motors.
The product will be exposed to interference if it is
installed in the vicinity of high-voltage electrical
power lines or power sources.
z
Do not install the projector at elevations higher
than 2 700 m (8 858 ft) above sea level.
If using this projector at high elevations 1 400 -
2 700 m (4 593 - 8 858 ft) above sea level, set the
HIGH ALTITUDE MODE
to
ON
.
Failure to observe this will result in malfunctions
or the lamp life or life of other components will be
shortened.
Be sure to ask a specialised tech-
nician when installing the product
to a ceiling.
If the product is to be installed hanging from the ceil-
ing, purchase an optional hanging attachment (Model
No. ET-PKB80). Please call a specialised technician
or contact an Authorized Service Center for installa-
tion.
Lens Focus
Do not adjust the lens focus in the initial period after
switching the projector on. The high clarity projector
lens is thermally affected by the light from the light
source, making the focus unstable in the period just
after switching on. Please allow a warm-up time of at
least 30 minutes before adjusting the lens focus.
