SINCE THIS PROJECTOR IS PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, THE SOCKET-OUTLET SHALL BE
INSTALLED NEAR THE EQUIPMENT AND SHALL BE EASILY ACCESSIBLE.
WARNING
Use the attached specified power supply cord. If you use
another power-supply cord, it may cause interference
with radio and television reception.
Use the attached VGA cable and the audio cable with this
equipment so as to keep interference within the limit of a
FCC Class B device.
This apparatus must be grounded.
DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE LENS
WHEN THE PROJECTOR IS IN THE POWER ON
MODE.
CAUTION
Not for use in a computer room as defined in the
Standard for the Protection of Electronic Computer/Data
Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75.
For USA only:
Handling the cord on this product or cords associated
with accessories sold with this product, will expose you
to lead, a chemical known to the State of Califolnia to
cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash
hands after handling.
When using the projector in Europe:
COMPLIANCE NOTICE
This Projector complies with the requirements of the EC
Directive 89/336/EEC “EMC Directive” as amended by
Directive 92/31/EEC and 93/68/EEC, and 73/23/EEC
“Low Voltage Directive” as amended by Directive 93/68/
EEC.
The electro-magnetic susceptibility has been chosen at a
level that gains proper operation in residential areas, on
business and light industrial premises and on small-scale
enterprises, inside as well as outside of the buildings. All
places of operation are characterised by their connection
to the public low voltage power supply system.
WARNING
Use the attached VGA cable and the audio cable with this
equipment so as to keep interference within the limits of

pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and points where they exit from the appliance. Do not
put the power cord under a carpet.
12. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a fire or electric
shock.
13. Objects and liquids
Never push objects of any kind through openings of this projector as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the projector.
14. Servicing
Do not attempt to service this projector yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
15. Damage requiring service
Unplug this projector from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
(a) If the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
(b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the projector.
(c) If the projector does not operate normally after you follow the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions. An improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and
may often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the projector
to its normal operation.
(d) If the projector has been exposed to rain or water.
(e) If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
(f) If the projector exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need
for service.
16. Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure that the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or parts having the same
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock or other hazards.
17. Safety check
Upon completion of any service or repair to this projector, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks determining that the projector is in a safe operating condition.

3Important Safeguards
WARNING:
Unplug immediately if there is something wrong with your projector.
Do not operate if smoke, strange noise or odor comes out of your projector. It may cause fire
or electric shock. In this case, unplug immediately and contact your dealer.
Never remove the cabinet.
This projector contains high voltage circuitry. An inadvertent contact may result in an
electric shock. Except as specifically explained in User Manual, do not attempt to service
this product by yourself. Please contact your dealer when you want to fix, adjust, or inspect
the projector.
Do not modify the projector.
It can lead to fire or electric shock.
Do not keep using the damaged projector.
If the projector is dropped and the cabinet is damaged, unplug the projector and contact your
dealer for inspection. It may lead to fire if you keep using the damaged projector.
Do not face the projection lens to the sun.
It can lead to fire.
Use correct voltage.
If you use incorrect voltage, it can lead to fire.
Do not place the projector on uneven surface.
Place the projector on a level and stable surface only.
Do not look into the lens when the projector is operating.
It may hurt your eyes. Never let children look into the lens when the projector is on.
Do not unplug the power cord during operation.
It can lead to lamp breakage, fire, electric shock or other trouble. Wait for the fan to stop
before unplugging the power cord.
Do not touch the air outlet grilles and bottom plate.
Do not touch them or put other equipment close to the air outlet grilles because they become
hot during operation. The heated air outlet grilles and bottom plate may cause injury or
damage to other equipment. Also, do not put the projector on a desk that is easily affected by
heat.
Do not look into the air outlet grilles when projector is operating.
Heat, dust, etc. may blow out of them and hurt your eyes.
Do not block the air inlet and outlet grilles.
If they are blocked, heat may be generated inside the projector, causing deterioration in the
projector quality and fire.

4 Important Safeguards
Place of installation
For safety’s sake, do not use the projector at any place subjected to high temperature and
high humidity. Please maintain an operating temperature, humidity, and altitude as specified
below.
• Operating temperature: between +41°F (+5°C) and +95°F (+35°C)
• Operating humidity: between 30% and 90%
• Never put any heat-producing device under the projector to prevent the projector from
being overheated.
• Do not install the projector at a place that is unstable or subject to vibration.
• Do not install the projector near any equipment that produces a strong magnetic field.
Also refrain from installing the projector near any cable carrying a large amount of
current.
• Place the projector on a solid, vibration-free surface. Otherwise it may fall, causing
serious injury or damage.
• Do not stand the projector on its end. It may fall, causing serious injury or damage.
• Slanting the projector more than ±10˚(right and left) or ±15˚(front and rear) may cause
trouble or explosion of the lamp.
• Do not place the projector near air-conditioning unit or heater to avoid the air outlet and
inlet grilles from being exposed to hot air.
• Place the projector at least 50 cm (or 20 inch) away from the wall to prevent the air inlet
grille and the air outlet grilles that emit hot air from being blocked.

Installation
Choosing a Location
Your projector is designed to be installed in the four installation configurations shown here:
Floor front, Ceiling front, Floor rear, Ceiling rear. Your room layout or personal preference
will dictate which installation configuration you use.
For further information on the four configurations, please refer to page 28.
If you place the projector above or below the screen, you have to tilt it down or up to center
the image on the screen, in these situations image distortion will occur. Use the Keystone
function to correct the distortion. See page 19 for keystone correction.

III. Floor rear IV. Ceiling rear

Installation 15
Adjusting the Height
The projector is equipped with 1 quick-release adjuster foot and 2 rear adjuster feet. These
adjusters change the image height and projection angle. To adjust the projector,
1. Lift the projector up and press
the adjuster button to release the
adjuster. The adjuster will drop
into position and be locked. It
can lift the projector by up to 15
degrees.
2. Screw the rear adjuster feet to
fine tune the horizontal angle.
Press the adjuster button again to
retract the foot.
Important:
If the screen and the projector are not perpendicular to each other, the projected image
becomes vertically trapezoidal. To correct this situation, adjust the value of Keystone in the
Picture menu, on the projector control panel or on the remote control.
Screen Size
Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the required picture
size (see the table on the next page).
