Important Information
RF interference (for USA only)
For UK only: In UK, a BS approved power cable with moulded plug has a Black (five Amps) fuse installed for

Important Safeguards
These safety instructions are to ensure the long life of your projector and to prevent fire and shock, Please
read them carefully and heed all warnings.
Installation
Do not place the projector in the following conditions:
- on an unstable cart, stand, or table.
- near water, baths, or damp rooms.
- in direct sunlight, near heaters, or heat radiating appliances.
- in a dusty, smoky or steamy environment.
- on a sheet of paper or cloth, rugs or carpets.
If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling:
- Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
- The projector must be installed by qualified technicians in order to ensure proper operation and reduce
the risk of bodily injury.
- In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the installation must be in
accordance with any local building codes.

Fire and Shock Precautions
• Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the build-up of heat
inside your projector. Allow at least 4 inches (10cm) of space between your projector and a wall.
• Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet as it can become heated while the projector is turned on and im-
mediately after the projector is turned off.
• Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your projector. Do not attempt
to retrieve any objects that might fall into your projector. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or
screwdriver into your projector. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and
have the object removed by a qualified service personnel.
• Do not place any objects on top of the projector.
• Do not touch the power plug during a thunderstorm. Doing so can cause electrical shock or fire.
• The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-240V AC 50/60 Hz. Ensure that your power
supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your projector.
• Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.
• Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light path of the projector. The light being projected
from the lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of the
lens, can cause unpredictable outcome such as fire or injury to the eyes.
• Do not cover the lens with the black lens cap or equivalent while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to
melting of the cap and possibly burning your hands due to the heat emitted from the light output.
• Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of the projector lens or a projector
exhaust vent.
Doing so could lead to the object melting or getting your hands burned from the heat that is emitted from the
light output and exhaust.
• Handle the power cable carefully. A damaged or frayed power cable can cause electric shock or fire.
- Do not use any power cables than the supplied one.
- Do not bend or tug the power cable excessively.
- Do not place the power cable under the projector, or any heavy object.
- Do not cover the power cable with other soft materials such as rugs.
- Do not heat the power cable.
• Turn off the projector, unplug the power cable and have the projector serviced by a qualified service person-
nel under the following conditions:
- When the power cable or plug is damaged or frayed.
- If liquid has been spilled into the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water.
- If the projector does not operate normally when you follow the instructions described in this user's
manual.
- If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
- If the projector exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.
• Disconnect the power cable and any other cables before carrying the projector.
• Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable before cleaning the cabinet or replacing the lamp.
• Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable if the projector is not to be used for an extended period of
time.
CAUTION
• Do not use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses such as using the tilt foot to
carry or hang (from the wall or ceiling) the projector can cause damage to the projector.
• Do not send the projector in the soft case by parcel delivery service or cargo shipment. The projector
inside the soft case could be damaged.
• Select [On] in Fan mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days. (From the menu, select
[Default setting] -_ [Fan Control] -_ [On].)
• Do not turn off the AC power for 60 seconds after the lamp is turned on and while the POWER indicator
is blinking blue.
Doing so could cause premature lamp failure.

Important Information
Remote Control Precautions
Handle the remote control carefully.
If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
Avoid excessive heat and humidity.
Do not place the battery upside down.
NOTE:
* Keep the coin cell battery out of reach of children so as not to allow them to swallow the cell battery.
CAUTION:
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations.
CAUTION:
Use the remote control away from audio tapes, video tapes, credit cards, hard disk drive of the computer,
or cardiac pacemakers.
The remote control contains a magnet that may affect or damage them.
Lamp Replacement
To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page 33 to 34.
Be sure to replace the lamp when the message appears. If you continue to use the lamp after the lamp
has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in
the lamp case. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury.
If this happens, contact your dealer for lamp replacement.
A Lamp Characteristic
The projector has a high-pressure mercury lamp as a light source.
A lamp has a characteristic that its brightness gradually decreases with age. Also repeatedly turning the
lamp on and off will increase the possibility of its lower brightness.
_ CAUTION:
When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted projector, make sure that no one is under the projector.
Glass fragments could fall if the lamp has been burned out.
