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 accordance
with any local building codes.
- Please consult your dealer for more information.
WARNING
• Do not cover the lens with the lens cap or equivalent while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to melting of
the cap 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. Doing so could lead
to the object melting from the heat that is emitted from the light output.

or downward. Select an appropriate option for [FAN MODE] according to the installation angle.

iv
Important Information
Fire and Shock Precautions
• Ensure that there is sufficient 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 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. Parts of the projector may become tem-
porarily heated if the projector is turned off with the Power button or if the AC power supply is disconnected during
normal projector operation.
Use caution when picking up the projector.
• 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 screwdriver into your
projector. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object 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 (magnifying glass etc.) out of the light path of the projector. The light path being projected from the
lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause
an unpredictable outcome such as a re or injury to the eyes.
• Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of 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 exhaust.
• Handle the power cord carefully. A damaged or frayed power cord can cause electric shock or re.
- Do not use any power cord other than the one supplied with the projector.
- Do not bend or tug the power cord excessively.
- Do not place the power cord under the projector, or any heavy object.
- Do not cover the power cord with other soft materials such as rugs.
- Do not heat the power cord.
- Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.
• Turn off the projector, unplug the power cord and have the projector serviced by a qualied service personnel under
the following conditions:
- When the power cord 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 cord and any other cables before carrying the projector.
• Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord before cleaning the cabinet or replacing the lamp.
• Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord 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.

Important Information
CAUTION
• Do not use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses such as gripping the tilt-foot or
hanging on the wall can cause damage to the projector.
• Do not send the projector in the 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(1)] → [FAN MODE] → [MODE] → [HIGH].)
• Before using Direct Power Off, be sure to allow at least 20 minutes immediately after turning on the projector
and starting to display an image.
• 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 turn off the AC power for 60 seconds after the lamp is turned on and while the Power indicator is blinking
blue. Doing so could cause premature lamp failure.
Caution on Handling the Optional Lens
When shipping the projector with the lens, remove the lens before shipping the projector. Always attach the dust cap to
the lens whenever it is not mounted on the projector. The lens and the lens shift mechanism may encounter damage
caused by improper handling during transportation.
Do not hold the lens part when carrying the projector.
Doing so could cause the Focus ring to rotate, resulting in accidental dropping of the projector.
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 short, heat, or take apart batteries.
• Do not 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.

Important Information
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:
• DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off
and then disconnect the power cord. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool before handling.
• 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.
About High Altitude mode
• Set [FAN MODE] to [HIGH ALTITUDE] when using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or
higher.
Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher without setting to [HIGH ALTITUDE]
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 ALTITUDE]
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 com-
ponents such as the lamp.
