rHazard distance (IEC 62471-5:2015)
The distance fromthe projection lens surface, at which the level of exposure has reached the level of the
applicable Exposure Limit Value, is known as the hazard distance (HD)or safety distance.
Do not look into the projected light frominside the hazard distance (within RG3 range). The eyes may be damaged
by the direct irradiation. It is considered to be safe to look into the projected light fromoutside the hazard distance
(within RG2 range).

rFocus adjustment
The high clarity projection lens is thermally affected by the light fromthe light source, making the focus generally
unstable in the period just after switching on the power.
This projector is equipped with the active focus optimizer function and automatically corrects the focus based
on the detected temperature change of the lens or the detected change in brightness of the image, enabling the
focus to be stable even just after switching on the power or when there is a large change in brightness of the
image.
For details of the active focus optimizer function, refer to the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu →[LENS] →[ACTIVE
FOCUS OPTIMIZER] (xpage 124). Operational specications and factory default setting differ depending on
the projection lens.
When using the projector with the active focus optimizer function disabled, it is recommended to performthe focus
adjustment after 30 minutes or more have elapsed with the focus test pattern displayed.
For details of the test pattern, refer to “[TEST PATTERN] menu”(xpage 146).
