Precautions
On safety
• Check that the operating voltage of your
unit
is identical with the voltage of your
local power supply.
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into
the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it further.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet
if it is
not to be used for several days.
•
To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the
plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• The wall outlet should be near the unit and
easily accessible.
• The unit is not disconnected to the
AC
power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even
if the
unit itself has been turned off.
• Do not look into the lens while the lamp is
on.
• Do not place your hand or objects near the
ventilation holes. The air coming out is
hot.
On preventing internal heat build-
up
After you turn off the power with the 1/(9
(ON/STANDBY) button, do not disconnect
the unit from the wall outlet while the
cooling fan
is still running.
Caution
This unit
is equipped with ventilation holes
(intake) and ventilation holes (exhaust). Do
not block orplace anything near these holes,
or internal heat build-up may occur, causing
picture degradation or damage to the unit.
On repacking
Save the original shipping carton and
packing
material~ they will come in handy if
you ever have to ship your unit. For
maximum protection, repack your unit
as it
was originally packed at the factory.

On watching 3D video images
Safety precautions
• You should only use the 3D glasses for
watching 3D video images.
•
If you observe flickering or flashing, turn
off the lighting in the room.
• Not for use by children without proper
adult supervision.
• Be careful not to pinch your fingers in
hinges
of the 3D glasses when bending the
temple frames.
• Do not drop or modify these 3D glasses.
•
If these glasses are broken, keep broken
pieces away from your mouth or eyes.
On LCD Projector
The LCD projector is manufactured using
high-precision technology.
You may,
however, see tiny black points and/or bright
points (red, blue, orgreen) that continuously
appear on the LCD projector. This is a
normal result
of the manufacturing process
and does not indicate a malfunction.
Also, when you use multiple LCD projectors
to project onto a screen, even
if they are of
the same model, the color reproduction
among projectors may vary, since color
balance may be set differently from one
projector to the next.
On condensation
If the room temperature where the projector
is installed changes rapidly, or
if the
projector is moved suddenly from a cold to a
warm place, condensation in the projector
may occur. As the condensation may cause
malfunction, be careful in adjusting
temperature settings
of the air conditioner. If
condensation occurs, leave the projector
turned on for about two hours before use.
