ment regulation could void your right to operate this equipment. This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equip-
ment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.
For UK only: In UK, a BS approved power cable with moulded plug has a Black (ve Amps) fuse installed for use
with this equipment. If a power cable is not supplied with this equipment please contact your supplier.
Important Safeguards
These safety instructions are to ensure the long life of your projector and to prevent re 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 qualied 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 accor-
dance with any local building codes.
- Please consult your dealer for more information.
10˚
Place the projector in a horizontal position
The tilt angle of the projector should not exceed 10 degrees, nor should the projector be installed in any way other
than the desktop and ceiling mount, otherwise lamp life could decrease dramatically.

iv
Important Information
Fire and Shock Precautions
• Ensure that there is sufcient 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.
• 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 screw-
driver into your project. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the ob-
ject removed by a qualied 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 re.
• The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-240V AC 50/60 Hz. Ensure that your power
supply ts 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 re 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 melt-
ing 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 re.
- 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.
- Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.
• Turn off the projector, unplug the power cable and have the projector serviced by a qualied service personnel
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.
• When using a LAN cable:
For safety, do not connect to the connector for peripheral device wiring that might have excessive voltage.

v
Important Information
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 a soft case by parcel delivery service or cargo shipment. The projector inside
the soft case could be damaged.
• Select [HIGH] in Fan mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days. (From the menu, select
[SETUP] →[OPTIONS] →[FAN MODE] →[HIGH].)
• Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet or projector when the projector is powered on. Doing so
can cause damage to the AC IN connector of the projector and (or) the prong plug of the power cable.
To turn off the AC power supply when the projector is powered on, use a power strip equipped with a switch
and a breaker.
• Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the left front (when seen from the front) as it can become heated
while the projector is turned on and immediately after the projector is turned off.
• Do not turn off the AC power for 60 seconds after the lamp is turned on and while the POWER indicator is
blinking green. Doing so could cause premature lamp failure.
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 heat, take apart, or throw batteries into re.
• If you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.
• Ensure that you have the batteries’ polarity (+/–) aligned correctly.
• Do not use new and old batteries together, or use different types of batteries together.
• Dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations.
Lamp Replacement
• To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page 117.
• Be sure to replace the lamp when the message [THE LAMP HAS REACHED THE END OF ITS USABLE
LIFE. PLEASE REPLACE THE LAMP.] 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.

vi
Important Information
About High Altitude mode
• Set [FAN MODE] to [HIGH ALTITUDE] when using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 me-
ters or higher.
• Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher without setting to [HIGH ALTI-
TUDE] can cause the projector to overheat and the protector could shut down. If this happens, wait a couple
minutes and turn on the projector.
• Using the projector at altitudes less than approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters and setting to [HIGH ALTI-
TUDE] can cause the lamp to overcool, causing the image to icker. Switch [FAN MODE] to [AUTO].
• Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher can shorten the life of optical
components such as the lamp.
About Copyright of original projected pictures:
Please note that using this projector for the purpose of commercial gain or the attraction of public attention in a
venue such as a coffee shop or hotel and employing compression or expansion of the screen image with the fol-
lowing functions may raise concern about the infringement of copyrights which are protected by copyright law.
