If used it could cause lamp explosion. If the lamp has broken, ventilate the room immediately. Do not touch or bring your face close to the broken pieces. Failure to observe this will cause the user to absorb the gas which was released when the lamp broke and which contains nearly the same amount of mercury as uorescent lamps, and the broken pieces will cause injury. If you believe that you have absorbed the gas or that the gas has got into your eyes or mouth, seek medical advice immediately. Ask your dealer about replacing the lamp unit and check the inside of the projector.

CAUTIONS WHEN TRANSPORTING

When transporting the projector, the leg adjusters must be housed and do not hold them. When transporting, keep the projector in the provided carrying bag with the lens cover on it. Face the lens of the projector in an upward direction • and put it gently into the carrying bag. Do not put anything other than the projector and its • accessories in the carrying bag.

CONDITIONS. Do not set up the projector outdoors.• The projector is designed for indoor use only. Avoid setting up in places which are subject to • vibration or shocks. If the projector is installed in a place where vibrations are transmitted or mounted in a car or a vessel, vibrations or impacts will result in damage to the internal parts, causing failure. Install the product in a place free from vibrations and impacts. Avoid setting up in places which are subject to • sudden temperature changes, such as near an air conditioner or lighting equipment. Failure to observe this will result in malfunctions or the lamp life will be shortened. See “TEMP INDICATOR” on page 43. Avoid setting up in places which are near high-• voltage power lines or near motors. The product will be exposed to interference if it is installed in the vicinity of high-voltage electrical power lines or power sources.

• Do not install the projector at elevations higher than 2 700 m (8 858 ft) above sea level. If using this projector at high elevations 1 400 - 2 700 m (4 593 - 8 858 ft) above sea level, set the HIGH ALTITUDE MODE to ON. If using this projector at elevations lower than 1 400 m (4 593 ft) above sea level, set the HIGH ALTITUDE MODE to OFF. Failure to observe this will result in malfunctions or the lamp life or life of other components will be shortened.

Please allow a warm-up time of at least 30 minutes before adjusting the lens focus.Essential information

ENGLISH Precautions with regard to safety (continued)

IN ORDER TO GET THE PICTURE QUALITY Draw curtains or blinds over windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen. Depending on where the projector is used, air exhaust vents or the warm air from air conditioning can cause a shimmering effect on the screen. For this reason, take care not to shield the air exhaust vents and consider the direction of the air owing from air conditioning. DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACE OF THE PROJECTOR LENS WITH YOUR BARE HAND. If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from ngerprints or anything else, this will be magnied and projected onto the screen. Please put the standard lens cover on the projector when you do not use it.

DO NOT MOVE THE PROJECTOR WHILE

IT IS OPERATING OR SUBJECT IT TO VIBRATION OR IMPACT. The service life of its internal components will be shortened.

CHARACTERIZED AS FOLLOWS: The brightness of the lamp will decrease over time.• The lamp may explode or shorten the lamp life by • shocks or chipping damage. In rare cases, it may burst shortly after the rst use.• The possibility of its bursting increases when the lamp • is used beyond the replacement time. If the lamp bursts, gas inside the lamp is released in • the form of smoke. The life of a mercury lamp varies according to the • individual difference or conditions of use. In particular, turning the power on and off frequently • and/or repeatedly as well as continuous use for 10 hours will greatly affect the life cycle. Provide a lamp for replacement in advance.

CONNECTION TO EXTERNAL DEVICE

When connecting the projector to a computer or external device, use the power cord supplied with the corresponding device and a commercially available shielded interface cable. OPTICAL COMPONENTS It may be necessary to replace the optical components such as Liquid crystal panels and Polarizing plates in less than 1 year if using the projector in a high temperature environment or in a very dusty, oily smoke or tobacco smoke environment. For more details, please contact your dealer.

LIQUID CRYSTAL PANEL

The Liquid crystal panels are precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always lit, but this is not a malfunction. Do not project the same image for long periods of time, as this may remain as an afterimage on the liquid crystal panel. Display the white screen test pattern for more than an hour to remove it. See “TEST PATTERN” on page 39. SECURITY
