For Safe Use
Pay attention to the following points when carrying or transporting the projector.
• This projector is a precision instrument. Do not knock it over or subject it to impacts. Doing so may
cause a malfunction.
• If the packaging or shock-absorbent materials are damaged at the time of purchase, do not reuse
them for transporting or shipping the projector. Protection of the projector cannot be guaranteed if
the packaging or shock-absorbent materials are damaged. Fragments from shock-absorbent material
may also enter the interior of the projector which could cause a malfunction.
• Disconnect the cables connected to the projector. Carrying the projector with the cables attached
may cause an accident.
• Retract the adjustable feet.
Pay attention to the following points when installing or using the projector.
• Be sure to install the projector in a location where the air intake and exhaust vents are separated
from the wall by more than 50 cm (1.6'). Failure to do so could cause a malfunction.
• Do not install the projector in a location that is damp, or where there is a lot of dust, oily smoke or
tobacco smoke. Doing so could cause contamination of optical components such as the lens and the
mirror and may result in deterioration of image quality.
• Do not touch the lens with bare hands. Doing so may result in deterioration of image quality.
• If the projector is suddenly moved from a location where the temperature is low to a location where
the temperature is high, or if the temperature in the location where the projector is installed
increases suddenly, moisture in the air could cause condensation to form on the projector lens or
mirror. This may cause a blurred image. Wait until the condensation has evaporated for the image
projected to return to normal.
• Do not install the projector in a location where the temperature is high or low. Doing so may cause a
malfunction.

• Do not install the projector near high-voltage electrical power lines or an electrical power source.
• Do not use the projector on a soft surface such as carpet or sponge mat, etc. Doing so could cause
heat to build up inside the projector and this could result in a malfunction.
• Do not block the air intake or exhaust vents of the cooling fan. Doing so could cause heat to build up
inside the projector and may cause a malfunction.
• Do not place any objects on top of the projector that may change shape or color due to heat.
• When using the projector at altitudes greater than 1500 m (4921
'
), please turn on the High Altitude
Mode.
• Please do not brush or rub the surface of the top plate of the projector. The surface may be damaged.
