- If you wish to mount the projector on the ceiling, be sure to ask your dealer to do so. Mounting the projector on a ceiling requires special ceiling brackets (sold separately) and specialized knowledge. Improper mounting could cause the projector to fall, resulting in an accident.
- If the projector is ceiling-mounted, install the breaker for turning off the power in case of anomaly. Let everyone involved with the use of the projector know that fact.

Projection Distance and Size

Use the figures, tables, and formulas below to determine the projection size and projection distance. (Projection sizes are approximate values for full-size picture with no keystone adjustment.)

About lamp

The product's light source is a mercury lamp that lights at increased internal pressure. Be sure to fully understand the following characteristics of the lamp and handle it with extreme care.

  • The lamp may explode with a loud noise due to impact or deterioration, or fail to light at the expiration of its life.
  • How long it takes before the lamp explodes or the life expires may vary greatly by lamp. Some may explode shortly after first use. (Free replacement is available if the lamp explodes within the warranty period. Contact the dealer from whom you purchased the product in such a case.)
  • Explosion is likely to happen if the lamp is used after the replacement period has elapsed.
  • When the lamp explodes, the broken pieces of glass may get inside the product or be released outside from the openings for ventilation.
  • When the lamp explodes, a slight amount of mercury gas enclosed in the lamp along with glass dust may be released from the openings for ventilation.

- Immediately replace the lamp when a sign appears on the screen.

  • When the replacement time approaches, a message will appear on the screen.
  • The risk of explosion will increase if the lamp is continuously used without being replaced.
  • Frequently check the used hours and prepare spares when the replacement time approaches. (Refer to "Status display". p.33)

■ When the lamp is broken

  • If glass components, including a lamp and a lens, should break, handle the broken pieces with care to avoid injury and contact your dealer for repair service.
  • In the event of lamp explosion, unplug the product from the wall outlet, leave and completely ventilate the room. Then, thoroughly clean the area around the projector and discard any edible items placed in that area.
  • When the lamp explodes, consult a doctor if glass dust or mercury gas gets into your eyes or you breathe it.

Lamp replacement

A lamp is consumable supplies. If used for extended periods, images will appear dark, and the lamp could burn out. This is characteristic of a lamp, and is not malfunction. (The lifetime of the lamp depends on condition of use.) If this happens, replace it with a new one.
