Important
Information
Be sure to use the projector after removing the packaging material, such as
■
the fastening tapes and protective sheet.
Take proper care when disposing of the removed packaging material.
Cautions when transporting
Ensure that the supplied lens cover is attached when transporting.
z
Hold the bottom of the projector when transporting.
z
Do not transport with the front adjustable feet extended. Doing so may result in damage to the front adjustable feet.
z
Cautions when installing
Do not set up the projector outdoors.
■
The projector is designed for indoor use only.
Do not use under the following conditions.
■
Places where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Doing so may damage the internal parts
z
and result in malfunctions.
Near the exhaust of an air conditioner: Depending on the conditions of use, the screen may uctuate due to the hot
z
air from the air exhaust port or the heated or cooled air from the air conditioner. Take care so that the exhaust from the
projector or other equipment, or the air from the air conditioner does not blow toward the front of the projector.
Near lights (studio lamps, etc.) where temperature changes greatly (See “Operating environment”
zpage 90):
Doing so may shorten the life of the lamp or result in deformation of the outer case and malfunctions.
Near high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector.
z
About lens focus
■
The focus of high brightness projection lenses may not be stable immediately after turning power on due to the
effects of heat from light coming from light sources. Adjust lens focus 30 minutes after starting to project a video.
Make sure to set [HIGH ALTITUDE MODE] to [ON] when using the projector
■
at elevations of 1 400 m (4 593 ft) or higher and lower than 2 700 m (8 858 ft)
above sea level.
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
Make sure to set [HIGH ALTITUDE MODE] to [OFF] when using the projector
■
at elevations lower than 1 400 m (4 593 ft) above sea level.
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
Do not install the projector at elevations of 2 700 m (8 858 ft) or higher above
■
sea level.
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
Do not tilt the projector or place it on its side.
■
Do not tilt the projector body more than approximately ±30 ° vertically or ±10 °
horizontally. Overtilting may result in shortening the component’s lifespan.
Do not cover the air intake/exhaust ports or place anything within 100 mm (4
■")
of them.
Be sure to consult a specialized technician or your dealer when installing the
■
product on a ceiling.
An optional ceiling mount bracket is required.

Information
Cautions on use
In order to view clear video images
■
Clear, high contrast video can be viewed when curtains are closed and lights near the screen are extinguished in
z
order to stop light from reaching the screen.
In some rare cases, depending on the usage environment a “ickering” may appear on the screen due to the
z
effects of air from the exhaust port or hot/cold air from air conditioners. Do not set up this projector in a situation
where air from the exhaust of this device or other devices, or air from air conditioners is circulated to the front of
this device.
The focus of high brightness projection lenses may not be stable immediately after turning power on due to the
z
effects of heat from light coming from light sources. Focus stabilizes 30 minutes after video projection starts.
Do not touch the surface of the projection lens with bare hands.
■
If ngerprints or dirt are left on the projection lens, they will be enlarged and projected and will prevent the
viewing of clear video images. Also, always replace the lens cover when not using the projector.
About LCD panels
■
LCD panels are manufactured using high precision technologies, but in some cases they may have dead
pixels, or permanently lit pixels. Please understand that this is not a fault.
Also, projecting a still image for extended periods of time may lead to afterimages on LCD panels. Please be
aware that in some cases these afterimages may not disappear completely.
About optical components
■
If using in an environment with a high temperature, or where dust or tobacco smoke is present, the
replacement cycle of optical components such as LCD panels and polarizing plates may shorten even after
less than one year of use. For more details, please contact your dealer.
About the lamp
■
This product uses an internal high pressure mercury lamp for the light source.
High pressure mercury lamps have the following characteristics.
Brightness decreases with usage time.
z
In some cases, the lamp may make a large sound, crack, and reach the end of its lifespan as a result of shocks,
z
damage, and deterioration related to usage period.
Large disparities occur in lifespan due to individual properties and usage conditions. Lifespan is especially
z
affected if you use the lamp continuously for more than 6 hours or switch it ON/OFF rapidly.
Very occasionally the lamp may crack after starting projection.
z
The possibility of cracking increases as the lamp nears the end of its lifespan.
z
If the lamp cracks, gas may be leaked from inside and smoke may be seen.
z
Please prepare a spare lamp in advance.
z
About disposal
To dispose of the product, inquire your local authorities or dealer for correct methods of disposal.
The lamp contains mercury. When disposing of used lamp units, contact your local authorities or dealer for correct
methods of disposal.
