Precautions with regard to safety
WARNING
If a problem occurs (such as no image or no sound) or if you notice
smoke or a strange smell coming from the projector, turn off the power
and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Do not continue to use the projector in such cases, otherwise fire or
electric shocks could result.
• Check that no more smoke is coming out, and then contact an Authorised
Service Center for repairs.
• Do not attempt to repair the projector yourself, as this can be dangerous.
Do not install this projector in a place which is not strong enough to
take the full weight of the projector.
• If the installation location is not strong enough, it may fall down or tip over,
and severe injury or damage could result.
• Installation work (such as ceiling suspension) should only be carried out
by a qualified technician.
• If installation is not carried out correctly, there is the danger that injury or
electric shocks may occur.
If foreign objects or water get inside the projector, or if the projector is
dropped or the cabinet is broken, turn off the power and disconnect the
power cord from the wall outlet.
• Continued use of the projector in this condition may result in fire or electric
shocks.
• Contact an Authorised Service Center for repairs.
Do not cover the air filter and the air inlet.
• Doing so may cause the projector to overheat, which can cause fire or
damage to the projector.
Do not overload the wall outlet.
• If the power supply is overloaded (for example, by using too many
adapters), overheating may occur and fire may result.
Do not remove the cover or modify it in any way.
• High voltages which can cause fire or electric shocks are present inside
the projector.
• For any inspection, adjustment and repair work, please contact an
Authorised Service Center.
Clean the power cord plug regularly to prevent it from becoming
covered in dust.
• If dust builds up on the power cord plug, the resulting humidity can
damage the insulation, which could result in fire. Pull the power cord out
from the wall outlet and wipe it with a dry cloth.
• If not using the projector for an extended period of time, pull the power
cord plug out from the wall outlet.

Preparation

Do not do anything that might damage the power cord or the power
cord plug.
• Do not damage the power cord, make any modifications to it, place it near
any hot objects, bend it excessively, twist it, pull it, place heavy objects on
top of it or wrap it into a bundle.
• If the power cord is used while damaged, electric shocks, short-circuits or
fire may result.
• Ask an Authorised Service Center to carry out any repairs to the power
cord that might be necessary.
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.
• Failure to observe this may result in electric shocks.
Insert the power cord plug securely into the wall outlet.
• If the plug is not inserted correctly, electric shocks or overheating could
result.
• Do not use plugs which are damaged or wall outlets which are coming
loose from the wall.
Do not place the projector on top of surfaces which are unstable.
• If the projector is placed on top of a surface which is sloped or unstable, it
may fall down or tip over, and injury or damage could result.
Do not place the projector into water or let it become wet.
• Failure to observe this may result in fire or electric shocks.
Do not place liquid containers on top of the projector.
• If water spills onto the projector or gets inside it, fire or electric shocks
could result.
• If any water gets inside the projector, contact an Authorised Service
Center.
Do not insert any foreign objects into the projector.
• Do not insert any metal objects or flammable objects into the projector or
drop them onto the projector, as doing so can result in fire or electric
shocks.

Caution
Do not set up the projector in humid or dusty places or in places where
the projector may come into contact with smoke or steam.
• Using the projector under such conditions may result in fire or electric
shocks.
When disconnecting the power cord, hold the plug, not the cord.
• If the power cord itself is pulled, the cord will become damaged, and fire,
short-circuits or serious electric shocks may result.
Always disconnect all cables before moving the projector.
• Moving the projector with cables still attached can damage the cables,
which could cause fire or electric shocks to occur.
Do not place any heavy objects on top of the projector.
• Failure to observe this may cause the projector to become unbalanced
and fall, which could result in damage or injury.
Do not short-circuit, heat or disassemble the battery or place it into
water or fire.
• Failure to observe this may cause the battery to overheat, leak, explode or
catch fire, and burns or other injury may result.
When inserting the battery, make sure the polarities (+ and -) are
correct.
• If the battery is inserted incorrectly, it may explode or leak, and fire, injury
or contamination of the battery compartment and surrounding area may
result.
Use only the specified battery.
• If an incorrect battery is used, it may explode or leak, and fire, injury or
contamination of the battery compartment and surrounding area may
result.
Do not look into the lens while the projector is being used.
• Strong light is emitted from the projector’s lens. If you look directly into this
light, it can hurt and damage your eyes.
Do not bring your hands or other objects close to the air outlet port.
• Heated air comes out of the air outlet port. Do not bring your hands or
face, or objects which cannot withstand heat close to this port, otherwise
burns or damage could result.
Replacement of the lamp unit should only be carried out by a qualified
technician.
• The lamp unit has high internal pressure. It can easily become damaged if
struck against hard objects or dropped, and injury or malfunctions may
result.
Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet as a safety
precaution before carrying out any cleaning.
• Electric shocks can result if this is not done.

Preparation

Ask an Authorised Service Center to clean inside the projector at least
once a year.
• If dust is left to build up inside the projector without being cleaned out, it
can result in fire or problems with operation.
• It is a good idea to clean the inside of the projector before the season for
humid weather arrives. Ask your nearest Authorised Service Center to
clean the projector when required. Please discuss with the Authorised
Service Center regarding cleaning costs.

Precautions on handling
Cautions regarding transportation
Be sure to attach the lens cover before transporting the projector.
The projection lens is extremely susceptible to vibration and shocks. When
carrying the projector, use the accessory carrying bag.
Cautions regarding setting-up
Observe the following at all times when setting up the projector.
Avoid setting up in places which are subject to vibration or shocks.
If the projector is set up in locations with strong vibration, such as near a
motor, or if it is installed inside a vehicle or on board a ship, the projector
may be subjected to vibration or shocks which can damage the internal parts
and cause malfunctions or accidents. Accordingly, set up the projector in a
place which is free from such vibrations and shocks.
Do not set up the projector near high-voltage power lines or near
motors.
The projector may be subject to electromagnetic interference if it is set up
near high-voltage power lines or motors.
If installing the projector to the ceiling, ask a qualified technician to
carry out all installation work.
If the projector is to be suspended from the ceiling, you will need to purchase
the separate installation kit (Model No.: ET-PK701). Furthermore, all
installation work should only be carried out by a qualified technician.
Notes on use
In order to get the best picture quality
If outside light or light from indoor lamps is shining onto the screen, the
images projected will not have good contrast. Draw curtains or blinds over
any windows and turn off any fluorescent lights near the screen to prevent
reflection.
Do not touch the surfaces of the lens with your bare hands.
If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this
will be magnified and projected onto the screen. Moreover, when not using
the projector, retract the lens and then cover it with the accessory lens cover.
About the screen
If the screen you are using is dirty, damaged or discolored, attractive
projections cannot be obtained. Do not apply any volatile substances to the
screen, and do not let it become dirty or damaged.

Preparation

Before carrying out cleaning and maintenance, be
sure to disconnect the power cord plug from the
wall outlet.
Wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth.
If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water with a small amount
of neutral detergent in it, squeeze the cloth very well, and then wipe the
cabinet. After cleaning, wipe the cabinet dry with a dry cloth.
If using a chemically-treated cloth, read the instructions supplied with
the cloth before use.
Do not wipe the lens with a cloth that is dusty or which produces lint.
If any dust or lint gets onto the lens, such dust or lint will be magnified and
projected onto the screen. Use a blower to clean any dust and lint from the
lens surface, or use a soft cloth to wipe off any dust or lint.
