Before Using
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
Moisture Condensation
Never operate this unit immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm location.
When the unit is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture may condense on the
lens and the crucial internal parts. Do not use the unit for at least 2 hours when there is an
extreme or sudden change in temperature to prevent the unit from possible damage.
Place and Manner of Installation
• Do not place in hot locations, such as near heating equipment. Doing so could cause a
malfunction, and shorten the life of the projector.
• Avoid locations with oil or cigarette smoke. These environments will dirty the optical
parts, shortening their lives, and darkening the screen.
• Using this instrument near a TV or radio may cause interference to the images or audio
sound. If this happens, move it away from the TV or radio.
• Moving the projector from a low-temperature room to a high-temperature room may
cause condensation on the lens or internal parts in the instrument. If you continue to use
it in that situation, the malfunction may result. Ensure to wait until the condensation
naturally disappears.
• In a high altitude location such as over 1500m (5000ft) from sea level, the air is thin and
cooling efficiency is reduced so use the projector with [Fan mode] set to [High].
Otherwise, surface of the projector becomes hot and the lifetime may be reduced.
• Only plug the power cord into outlets rated for use within the power cord's specified
voltage range. Do not overload extension cords or power strips as this can result in fire
or electric shock.
• Route the power cable or the connecting cable away from where people could trip over
it. The projector may fall which could result in serious injury and/or damage to the
product.
• Be sure the power cord is easily reached for unplugging in case of emergency. Do not
place any obstacles near a wall outlet in which the cord is plugged.
• Do not use the projector while holding it in your hands or lap.
• Do not use the projector near a power source and the like, or in locations like a ship or
vehicle that are subject to vibration or shock. Doing so may lead to a malfunction or
shorten service life.
Avoid Volatile Liquid
Do not use volatile liquids, such as an insect spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or
plastic products touching the unit for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish. Do not
use a chemically saturated cloth on the unit.
