The lamp contains mercury. When disposing of the used lamp unit, ask your nearest local authorities or dealer about proper disposal of the unit.

Dispose of used battery according to the instructions or your local disposal rule or guidelines.

Cautions on use

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, heated air from an exhaust port or warm or cold air from an air conditioner can cause a shimmering effect on screen.
  Avoid use in locations where exhaust or streams of air from projector, other devices and air conditioners flow between the projector and the screen.
• The lens of projector is affected by the heat from the luminous source. Because of this, the focusing may not be stable right after the power is turned on. Focusing is stabled after projecting image for 30 minutes and longer.

- Do not touch the surface of the mirror and the projection lens with your bare hand.

If the surface of the mirror and the projection lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the screen.

DLP chips

• The DLP chips are precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always lit, but this is not a malfunction.
• Directing a high power laser beam onto the projection window surface can damage the DLP chips.

■ Optical components

Operating the projector in an environment with high temperature or heavy exposure to dust or tobacco smoke will reduce the service life of the optical components and may necessitate their replacement within less than one year of use. For details, consult your dealer.

Lamp

The luminous source of the projector is a mercury lamp with high internal pressure.

A high pressure mercury lamp has following characteristics.

● The brightness of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.
● The lamp may burst with sound or shorten life by shock or chipping.
- The life of the lamp varies greatly depending on individual specificities and usage conditions. In particular, continuous use over 22 hours and frequent on/off switching of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and affect the lamp life.

- In rare cases, the lamp burst shortly after the projection.

- The risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace the lamp unit consistently. (→ page 60)

- If the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in a form of smoke.

- It is recommended to store replacement lamps for contingency.

- It is recommended to have authorized engineer or your dealer replace the lamp unit.

Attention

• Do not drop the remote control.

• Do not attempt to modify or disassemble the remote control.

Note

• The operation may not optimize the image position or the resolution, depending on the input signal format or the image contents. In this case, switch to a different image and execute again.
• When pointing the remote control directly toward the projector (Remote control signal receiver), operating range for the remote control is within 8 m (26.25 ft). Also, operation range available for four directions (up, down, left, right to the projector) is ± 35° and the operation distance may become short.
• If there are any obstacles between the remote control and the remote control signal receiver, the remote control may not operate correctly.
• You can operate the projector by reflecting the remote control signal on the screen. The operating range may differ due to the loss of light caused by the properties of the screen.
• When the remote control signal receiver is lit with a fluorescent light or other strong light source, the projector may become inoperative. Set the projector as far from the luminous source as possible.
• You can operate all of the functions of the projector via the remote control. Make sure not to lose the remote control.
• Before using the remote control for the first time, remove the transparent insulation tape.
