CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

Before operating this projector, read this manual thoroughly and operate the projector properly.  
This projector provides many convenient features and functions.  Operating the projector properly enables you to
manage those features and maintains it in better condition for a considerable time.
Improper operation may result in not only shortening the product-life, but also malfunctions, fire hazard, or other
accidents.
If your projector seems to operate improperly, read this manual again, check operations and cable connections and try
the solutions in the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section at the end of this booklet.  If the problem still persists, contact the
sales dealer where you purchased the projector or the service center.

TO THE OWNER

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING :  TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO

RAIN OR MOISTURE.

This projector produces intense light from the projection lens.  Do not stare directly into the lens as it could
possibly damage your eyes.  Be especially careful that children do not stare directly into the beam.

This projector should be installed as shown.  If not, it may result in a fire hazard.

Provide appropriate space on the top, sides and rear of the
projector cabinet for allowing air circulation and cooling the
projector.  Minimum clearance must be maintained.  If the
projector is to be built into a compartment or similarly enclosed,
the minimum distances must be maintained.  Do not cover the
ventilation slot on the projector.  Heat build-up can reduce the
service life of your projector, and can also be dangerous.

Do not put any flammable object or spray can near the projector, hot air is exhausted from the ventilation
holes.

The Remote Control, supplied to this projector, emits the laser beam as the laser pointer function from Laser
Light Window while pressing the LASER button (for 1 minute / LASER POINTER INDICATOR lights red to
indicate laser emission).  Do not look into the Laser Light Window or shine the laser beam on yourself or other
people.  Eye damage may result.

If the projector is not to be used for an extended time, unplug the projector from the power outlet.

READ AND KEEP THIS OWNER'S MANUAL FOR LATER USE.
