Installing suspended from the ceiling
Should special works be required, for example to suspend the projector from the
ceiling, consult your dealer.
Never try to install the projector yourself in such cases. The projector could drop
and cause injury.
Suspending the projector from the ceiling requires sufficient ceiling strength to
support the projector, and the building standards laws in your particular country

It is also necessary to take measures to prevent the projector from dropping in an-
ticipation of a malfunction occurring in the projector, ceiling mounting device and
installation location.
When installed suspended from the ceiling, etc. do not hang from the projector.
The projector could drop and cause injury.
When installing suspended from the ceiling, use a power outlet that is within reach
so the power cord can be easily plugged and unplugged.
Do not place objects in front of the lens while the projector is operating.
Do not leave the lens cap on the lens while the projector is operating. The lens cap
could get hot and be warped.
Do not place objects in front of the lens that obstruct the light while the projector

Connecting the power cord to earth
This equipment is designed to be used in the condition of the power cord con-
nected to earth. If the power cord is not connected to the earth, it may cause
electric shock. Please make sure the power cord is earthed properly.
Do not use a 2-core plug converter adapter.
Handling the powercord
connector is fully and firmly inserted. Loose connection of the power cord could
lead to fire or electric shock.
Do not connect or disconnect the power cord with wet hands. Doing so could
result in electric shock.
When cleaning the projector, for safety purposes unplug the power cord from the
power outlet beforehand.
When moving the projector, first be sure to turn off the power, unplug the power
cord from the power outlet and check that all connection cables connecting the
projector to other devices have been disconnected.
When planning not to use the projector for long periods of time, always unplug
the power cord from the power outlet.
Do not use on networks subject to overvoltage.
Connect the projectors Ethernet/HDBaseT port and LAN port to a network for
which there is no risk of overvoltage being applied.
Overvoltage applied to the Ethernet/HDBaseT or LAN port could result in electric
shock.

surroundings (as a general rule, at least 50cm/19.69 inches for the intake vent,
50cm/19.69 inches for the exhaust vent).
Do not touch the exhaust vent area while projecting or immediately after project-
ing images. The exhaust vent area may be hot at this time and touching it could
cause burns.
