■ Caution- Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. Otherwise a fire or an electric shock might occur.
■ Caution- Do not place any objects on the machine. Doing so may cause the machine to topple over, possibly resulting in injury.
■ Caution- Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over, an injury might occur.
■ Caution- Do not place the machine or use it in an environment where it might get wet such as from snow, rain, or being near water. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
■ Caution- Do not put your face or hand near the exhaust vents. Doing so could result in burns or an accident due to hot air coming from the exhaust vents.
■ Caution- Do not use the machine on soft material such as paper or cloth that might get sucked into the intake vents. Doing so may cause heat buildup inside the machine, resulting in malfunction, burns, or fire.
■ Caution- Do not place the machine in a location where air flow is poor. Doing so may cause fire due to internal components becoming overheated.
■ Caution- Do not place or store the machine in a location where direct sunlight or heat generation might occur. The heat may deform or wear out the exterior parts or negatively affect internal parts. Doing so could result in fire.

Usage Notice

■ Caution- Do not place low heat resistant material near the exhaust vents. Hot air may come from the exhaust vents, resulting in damage to the machine or an accident.
- Caution- Do not obstruct the machine's vents. Doing so risks fire caused by overheated internal components.
■ Caution- Push the power plug all the way into the power outlet. Do not use a power outlet with a loose connection. Doing so may result in heat buildup.

■ Caution- If this machine is not going to be used for several days or longer at a time, disconnect its power cord from the wall outlet.
■ Caution- When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the cord. Pulling the cord can damage the power cord. Use of damaged power cords could result in fire or electric shock.
■ Caution- Be sure to disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and clean the prongs and the area around the prongs at least once a year. Allowing dust to build up on the plug constitutes a fire hazard.
■ Caution- When performing maintenance on the machine, always disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
■ Caution- Do not place the power cord and connection cable in a way that might cause someone to trip and fall. The machine might fall over and cause an injury.
■ Caution- The machine may be very hot after it is turned off, especially the vents and the lower part of the unit where the lamp is located. Avoid touching these areas. Doing so may result in burns.
■ Caution- Do not place the machine on other equipment or vice versa. Doing so may cause heat buildup inside the machine or cause the other equipment to malfunction.
■ Caution- Do not increase the volume unless you are listening while increasing the volume. Also, lower the volume before turning off the power, because a loud sound may be emitted when the power is turned on and cause hearing damage.
■ Caution- Do not tilt the machine horizontally more than ±20 degrees. Doing so may cause the entrance of foreign objects in the housing of the machine which could result in fire or electric shock.
- Caution- If the machine's interior is not cleaned regularly, dust will accumulate. Fire and breakdown can result from heavy accumulation of dust inside this machine. Contact

Usage Notice

Usage Notice

■ Caution- Do not use the product in a closed installation location. Do not place the product in a box or in any other closed installation location. Otherwise it may overheat, which could result in a risk of fire

ABOUT THE LAMP

■ Warning- When the lamp reaches the end of its life, it will burn out and may make a loud popping sound. If this happens, the projector will not turn back on until the lamp module has been replaced. To replace the lamp, follow the procedures listed under “Replacing the Lamp”.
■ Warning- Before replacing the lamp, turn off the power and wait at least one hour to allow the machine to cool completely. If it is not completely cool, you may burn or injure yourself due to the inside of the machine and lamp unit being hot. If you replace the lamp without unplugging the power cord from the power outlet, electric shock or explosion may occur.
■ Warning- Be careful when handling the used lamp so that it does not break. If it breaks, it may cause injury.
■ Caution- This projector will detect the life of the lamp itself. Be sure to change the lamp when it shows warning messages.
- Caution- The machine's light uses a mercury vapor lamp that becomes high pressure when it is turned on. The lamp has the following characteristics, so be sure to handle it with care after understanding the contents. If the lamp explodes and you are either injured from broken pieces of glass, think you have gotten glass particles or mercury vapour in your eyes, or have inhaled glass particles or mercury vapour, contact a doctor immediately.

Deterioration or shock can cause the lamp's life span to end or the lamp to explode. If the lamp explodes, it may make a big noise.
■The time that it takes for the lamp to reach its life span or explode depends on each individual lamp and its operating conditions. It is possible that it might explode the first time it is used.
■If you use the lamp past its replacement period, the possibility of explosion increases.
■If the lamp explodes, broken glass pieces may be scattered around the inside of the machine and ejected from the vent or other opening.

Usage Notice

■If the lamp explodes, a very small amount of mercury vapor in the lamp tube and broken glass pieces may be ejected from the vents or other opening.

What to do if a lamp has exploded

If the lamp explodes, remove the power cord from the projector, leave the room while making sure it is thoroughly ventilated.

If the lamp explodes and you think that you have gotten glass particles or mercury vapor in your eyes or have inhaled either, contact a doctor immediately.

Clean up the area around the projector completely while being careful not to get injured from any broken glass pieces.

Throw away any food that was near the projector.

Ask your service representative to replace the lamp and inspect the projector.
