It may hurt your eyes. Never let children look into the
lens when it is on.
Do not touch the air outlet grille and bottom
plate, which become hot.
Do not touch them or put other equipment in front
of the air outlet grille. The air outlet grille and bottom
plate, when heated, may cause injury or damage to
other equipment. Also, do not set the projector on the

If they are blocked, heat may be generated inside the
projector, causing deterioration in the projector quality
and fire.
Do not use flammable solvents (benzene,
thinner, etc.) and flammable aerosols near the
projector.
Flammable substances may ignite causing fire or
breakdown because the temperature inside the
projector rises very high while the lamp is illuminating.
Do not use the projector with condensation on it.
It can lead to breakdown or other failure.
Place of installation
For safety’s sake, refrain from setting the projector
at any place subjected to high temperature and high
humidity. Please maintain an operating temperature,
humidity, and altitude as specified below.
• Operating temperature:
For floor installation (projection angle 0°) and ceiling
installation (projection angle 180°):+41°F (+5°C) to
+104°F (+40°C)
For installation at other angles: +41°F (+5°C) to
+95°F (+35°C)
For use in the HIGH ALTITUDE mode (see page
13), the allowable operating temperature is +41°F
(+5°C) to +95°F (+35°C), which allows floor
installation or ceiling installation only.
• Operating humidity: between 30% and 90%
• Never put any heat-producing device under the
projector so that the projector does not overheat.
• Do not attach the projector to a place that is
unstable or subjected to vibration.
• Do not install the projector near any equipment that
produces a strong magnetic field. Also refrain from
installing near the projector any cable carrying a
large current.
• Place the projector on a solid, vibration free
surface; otherwise it may fall, causing serious injury
to a child or adult, and serious damage to the
product.
• Do not stand the projector; it may fall, causing
serious injury and damage to the projector.
• Slanting the projector more than ±10° (right and
left) may cause trouble or explosion of the lamp.
• Do not place the projector near air-conditioning
unit, heater, or humidifier to avoid hot or moist air
to the exhaust and ventilation hole of the projector.
• We don’t recommend using the projector at an
altitude of 2700 meters or higher (When using
the product at an altitude of 2000 to 2700 meters
above the sea level, set the HIGH ALTITUDE MODE
to HIGH ALTITUDE.). Use at an altitude of 2700
meters or higher may affect the projector’s life.
Upon Continuous Operation
Please ensure to power off at least for 1 hour once
every 7 days of continuous use.

Inserting the batteries into the remote control
1. Remove the rear lid of the remote control.
2. Check the polarity (+), (-) of the batteries, and set them
correctly, inserting their (-) side first.
•
If the battery is inserted from the (+) side first, inserting
the (-) side is difficult because the coil spring end hits
on the battery side. If the battery is forced to insert in
this way, the outer label of the battery may get ripped
and it may cause a short-circuit and heating.
3. Attach the rear lid.
Important:
• Use two size-AA batteries (R6).
• Replace the 2 batteries with new ones when the remote
control is slow to operate.
Removing the batteries from the remote control
Remove the back lid of the remote control and take out the
batteries.
Caution:
• Use of a battery of wrong type may cause explosion.
• Only Carbon-Zinc or Alkaline-Manganese Dioxide type batteries should be used.
• Dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations.
• Batteries may explode if misused. Do not recharge, disassemble, or dispose of them in fire.
• Be sure to handle the batteries according to the instructions.
• Load the batteries with its positive (+) and negative (-) sides correctly oriented as indicated on the remote control.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children and pets.
• Remove the batteries, if the remote control is not used for a long time.
• Do not combine a new battery with an old one.
•
If the solution of batteries comes in contact with your skin or clothes, rinse with water. If the solution comes in
contact with your eyes, rinse them with water and then consult your doctor.
