1. Forbest results, use your projector in a darkened room

2. Place the projector on a flat, level surface in à dry area away from dust and moisture.

To avoid premature lamp failure, do nottilt the front of the projector up or down by more than 15° from level. Do not place your projector in direct sunlight, near heaters or heat radiating appliances. Exposure to direct sunlight, smoke or steam can harm intemal components. Handle your projector carefully. Dropping or jarring can damage intermal components. Do not place heavy objects on top ofthe projector. sous uw If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling a. Do not attempt to install the projector yourself. b.. The projector must be installed by qualiied technicians in order to ensure proper operation and reduce te 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. d. Please consult your dealer for more information.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION Fire and Shock Precautions

1. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstucted to prevent the build-up of heat

inside your projector. Allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between your projector and a wall 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 notinsert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your projector. If something should fall into your projector, disconnectitimmedi- ately and have the object removed by a qualiied service personnel. Do not place any liquids on top of your projector.

4. Do notlook into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.

Keep any items such as magnifying glass out ofthe light path of the projector. The lightbeing projected from the lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause unpredictable outcome such as fire or injury to the eyes.

6. Do not coverthe lens with the supplied lens cap or equivalent while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to

melting of the cap and possibly buming your hands due to the heat emitted from the light output.

7. Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of the projector lens or a projector

exhaust vent. Doing so could lead to the object melting or getting your hands burned from the heatthat is emitted from the light output and exhaust.

8. The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-240 V 50/60 Hz AC. Ensure that your power

supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your projector.

9. Handie the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending.

A damaged cord can cause electric shock or fire.

10. the projector is notto be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the plug from the power outiet.

11. Do not touch the power plug during a thunderstorm. Doing so can cause electrical shock or fire.

12.Do not handle the power plug with wet hands. CAUTION

1. Do not ty to touch the ventilation outiet on the right and rear side (when seen from the front) as it can

become heated while the projector is turned on.

2. Do not use the tit-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses such as gripping the tit-foot or

hanging on the wall can cause damage to the projector. Before puttng the projector in the soft case, be sure to retract the feet. Failure to do so may cause damage to the projector.

3. When carying the projector, heed the following:

+ Ensure that the power cable and any other cables are disconnected before moving the projector. + Cover the lens with the supplied lens cap so as notto scratch the lens surface.

4. Do notsend the projector in the soft case by parcel delivery service or cargo shipment. The projector inside

the soft case could be damaged.

5. Select “High” in the Fan mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days. (From the menu,

select [Advanced] - [Fan Mode] -» [High]

6. Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet under any one ofthe following circumstances.

Doing so can cause damage to the projector: + While the projector is turned on. + While the cooling fans are running. (The cooling fans continue to work for 60 seconds after the projector is tumed off].

7. you accidentally turn offthe main power by disconnecting the power cable or press the main power switch

during cooling down, wait 10 minutes and then tum on the projector to resume. This is to protect the lamp.

Be sure to connectthe RGB cable between the projector and the computer before tuming on the computer. There are some notebook PCS, which do not output signal unless there is à projector or monitor connected first. NOTE: You can check the horizontal frequency of the current signalin the projectors menu under Information. Ii reads “0 kHz”, this means there is no signal being output from the computer. See page E-42 or go to next step. Enabling the computer's external display. Displaying an image on the notebook PC's screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector. When using à PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display. Usuall, the combination of the ‘Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on or off. For exemple, NEC laptops use Fn +F3, while Dell laptops use Fn +F8 key combi- nations to toggle through external display selections. Non-standard signal output from the computer Ifthe output signal from a notebook PC is notan industry standard, the projected image may notbe displayed correctiy. Should this happen, deactivate the notebook PC's LCD screen when the projector display is in use. Each notebook PC has a different way of deactivate/reactivate the local LCD screens as described in the previous step. Referto your computer's documentation for detailed information. Image displayed is incorrect when using à Macintosh When using a Macintosh with the projector, set the DIPswitch of the Mac adapter (not supplied with the projector) according to your resolution. After setting, restart your Macintosh for the changes to take affect. Forsettng display modes other than those supported by your Macintosh and the projector, changing the DIP switch on à Mac adapter may bounce an image slightiy or may display nothing. Should this happen, setthe DIP switch to the 13" fixed mode and then restart your Macintosh. After that, restore the DIP switches to à displayable mode and then restartthe Macintosh again.
