Operating Precautions

About the Light Source Unit

  • The projector's light source unit uses a laser and LED.
  • The life of the light source unit is rated at approximately 20,000 hours. The actual life will depend on use conditions, the settings configured on the setup menu, and differences between each individual light source unit.
  • The light source unit is warranted for the period noted on the warranty certificate or for 6,000 hours, whichever comes first.
  • The failure of the light source unit to light or a noticeable drop in light source unit brightness indicates the end of the light source unit's life. Contact your original dealer or authorized CASIO service center for replacement. Note that problems caused by unauthorized projector disassembly or modification are not covered by the warranty and are not eligible for repair by CASIO.

Laser Precautions

This projector is a Class 1 laser device that conforms with IEC 60825-1.

● This projector has a built-in laser module. Disassembly or modification is very dangerous and should never be attempted.
- Any operation or adjustment not specifically instructed by the user's guide creates the risk of hazardous laser radiation exposure.

Other Precautions

This projector is made of precision components. Failure to observe the following precautions can result in inability to correctly save data and malfunction.

● Never use or store the projector in the following locations. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction of and damage to the projector.

  • Locations subjected to electrostatic charge
  • Locations subjected to temperature extremes
  • Locations where there is extreme moisture
  • Locations subjected to sudden temperature changes
  • Locations where there is a lot of dust
  • On a shaky, slanted, or otherwise unstable surface
  • Locations where there is the danger of getting wet
  • Locations where there are large amounts of oil smoke or other smoke

● Avoid using the projector under the following conditions. Such conditions create the risk of malfunction of and damage to the projector.

  • Avoid areas subject to temperature extremes (operating temperature range is 5^ to 35^ (41°F to 95°F)).
  • Never place heavy objects on the projector or climb on top of the projector.
  • Never insert or allow foreign objects to drop into the projector.
    ● Never place a vase or any other container of water on top of the projector.

- Whenever setting the projector down or performing any operation that involves moving or reorienting it, take care that you do not pinch your fingers under the projector.

● Never leave dead batteries inside the remote controller for a long time.

Dead batteries can leak, which leads to malfunction of and damage to the remote controller. Be sure to replace the batteries at least once every one year, no matter how much you use the remote controller during that time.

●Clean with a soft, dry cloth.

When very dirty, use a soft cloth that has been dampened in a weak solution of water and a mild neutral detergent. Wring all excess water from the cloth before wiping. Never use thinner, benzine, or any other volatile agent to clean the projector. Doing so can remove its markings and cause staining of the case.

●Missing Screen Dots

Though this projector is manufactured using the most advanced digital technology available today, some of the dots on the screen may be missing. This is normal, and does not indicate malfunction.

●Never subject the projector to strong impact while it is projecting.

If the projector is accidentally subjected to strong impact, the projection image will momentarily go blank. The image will reappear after some time, but it may be the wrong color or it may be accompanied by an error message.

If the projected image is the wrong color, re-select the current input source. If this does not return the projected image to its proper color, turn projector power off and then back on again.

If the image reappears with an error message, correct the problem in accordance with the indicator explanations under “Error Indicators and Warning Messages” in the User’s Guide.

●Keystone Correction and Image Quality

Performing keystone correction causes the image to be compressed before it is projected. This can result distortion of the image or a loss of image quality. If this happens, change orientation of the projector and/or screen so it conforms as much as possible to the illustration under “Setting Up the Projector” in the User’s Guide.

If image quality is the highest priority, turn off auto keystone correction and position the projector so it is pointed straight at the screen.

  • Even if your projector is still within the warranty period, you will be charged for repair if a problem is due to running the projector non-stop for very long periods (like 24 hours) or if the projector was set up and used without following the “Setup Precautions” in the User’s Guide.
  • Use under high ambient temperature or in environments subjected to large amounts of dust, oil smoke, tobacco smoke, or other types of smoke can shorten the replacement cycles and require more frequent replacement of the optical engine and other components. Note that you are charged for such replacement. For details about replacement cycles and fees, contact an authorized CASIO service center.

Precaution when Handling the Projector after Use

The projector's exhaust vents and the area around the vents become very hot during operation, and will still be hot immediately after turning off the projector. Because of this, you should hold the sides of the projector as shown in the illustration whenever moving it.

CASIO Slim XJ-A257 - Precaution when Handling the Projector after Use - 1

natural_image Line drawing of two hands holding a rectangular object, no text or symbols present

Stowing the Projector in the Carrying Bag

Make sure the projector is no longer warm before stowing it in the carrying bag.

Cleaning the Projector

  • Periodically clean the projector exterior, lens, intake vents and exhaust vents on a regular basis.
  • When cleaning the lens, do not apply undue force and take care to avoid damaging it.
  • Dust and dirt tend to collect around the intake vents. Because of this, you should use a vacuum cleaner to clean away accumulated dust and dirt periodically.
  • Continued use of the projector after dust has accumulated around the intake vents can cause overheating of internal components and lead to malfunction.
  • Certain operating conditions also can cause dirt and dust to accumulate around the projector's exhaust vents. If this happens, use the same procedure as that described above to clean the exhaust vents.
