IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO
NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
Power Supply: This LCD Projector is designed to operate on 100 V – 240 V, 50 Hz/60
Hz AC, house current only.
CAUTION: The AC power cord which is supplied with the projector as an accessory can
only be used for power supplies up to 125 V, 7 A. If you need to use higher

power cord. If you use the accessory cord in such situations, fire may result.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the product.

Precautions with regard to safety
WARNING
If you notice smoke, strange smells or noise coming from the
projector, disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.
B Do not continue to use the projector in such cases, otherwise fire or
electric shocks could result.
B Check that no more smoke is coming out, and then contact an Authorized
Service Center for repairs.
B Do not attempt to repair the projector yourself, as this can be dangerous.
Do not install this projector in a place which is not strong enough to
take the full weight of the projector.
B If the installation location is not strong enough, it may fall down or tip over,
and severe injury or damage could result.
Installation work (such as ceiling suspension) should only be carried
out by a qualified technician.
B If installation is not carried out correctly, there is the danger that injury or
electric shocks may occur.
If foreign objects or water get inside the projector, or if the projector is
dropped or the cabinet is broken, disconnect the power cord from the
wall outlet.
B Continued use of the projector in this condition may result in fire or electric
shocks.
B Contact an Authorized Service Center for repairs.
Do not overload the wall outlet.
B If the power supply is overloaded (for example, by using too many
adapters), overheating may occur and fire may result.
Do not remove the cover or modify it in any way.
B High voltages can cause fire or electric shocks.
B For any inspection, adjustment and repair work, please contact an
Authorized Service Center.
Clean the power cord plug regularly to prevent it from becoming
covered in dust.
B If dust builds up on the power cord plug, the resulting humidity can
damage the insulation, which could result in fire. Pull the power cord plug
out from the wall outlet and wipe it with a dry cloth.
B If not using the projector for an extended period of time, pull the power
cord plug out from the wall outlet.
Do not do anything that might damage the power cord or the power
cord plug.
B Do not damage the power cord, make any modifications to it, place it near
any hot objects, bend it excessively, twist it, pull it, place heavy objects on
top of it or wrap it into a bundle.
6-ENGLISH
B If the power cord is used while damaged, electric shocks, short-circuits or
fire may result.
B Ask an Authorized Service Center to carry out any repairs to the power
cord that might be necessary.
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.
B Failure to observe this may result in electric shocks.
Insert the power cord plug securely into the wall outlet.
B If the plug is not inserted correctly, electric shocks or overheating could

result.
B Do not use plugs which are damaged or wall outlet which are coming
loose from the wall.
Do not place the projector on top of surfaces which are unstable.
B If the projector is placed on top of a surface which is sloped or unstable, it
may fall down or tip over, and injury or damage could result.
Do not place the projector into water or let it become wet.
B Failure to observe this may result in fire or electric shocks.
Do not place the projector on soft materials such as carpets or sponge
mats.
B Doing so may cause the projector to overheat, which can cause burns, fire
or damage to the projector.
Do not place liquid containers on top of the projector.
B If water spills onto the projector or gets inside it, fire or electric shocks
could result.
B If any water gets inside the projector, contact an Authorized Service
Center.
Do not insert any foreign objects into the projector.
B Do not insert any metal objects or flammable objects into the projector or
drop them onto the projector, as doing so can result in fire or electric
shocks.
Keep the batteries out of the reach of infants.
B If the batteries are swallowed, death by suffocation may result. If you
believe that the batteries may have been swallowed, seek medical advice
immediately.
Do not allow the + and - terminals of the batteries to come into contact
with metallic objects such as necklaces or hairpins.
B Failure to observe this may cause the batteries to leak, overheat, explode
or catch fire.
B Store the batteries in a plastic bag and keep them away from metallic objects.
During a thunderstorm, do not touch the projector or the cable.
B Electric shocks can result.
Do not use the projector in a bath or shower.
B Fire or electric shocks can result.
ENGLISH-7
Do not look into the lens while the projector is being used.
B Strong light is emitted from the projector’s lens. If you look directly into this
light, it can hurt and damage your eyes.
B Be especially careful not to let young children look into the lens. In
addition, disconnect the power cord when you are away from the projector.
Do not place your hands or other objects close to the air outlet port.
B Heated air comes out of the air outlet port. Do not place your hands or
face, or objects which cannot withstand heat close to this port, otherwise
burns or damage could result.
Replacement of the lamp unit should only be carried out by a qualified
technician.
B The lamp unit has high internal pressure. If improperly handled, explosion
might result.
B The lamp unit can easily become damaged if struck against hard objects
or dropped, and injury or malfunctions may result.
When replacing the lamp, allow it to cool for at least one hour before
handling it.
B The lamp cover gets very hot, and touching it can cause burns.
Before replacing the lamp, be sure to disconnect the power cord from
the wall outlet.
B Electric shocks or explosions can result if this is not done.
Caution
Do not cover the air inlet port or the air outlet port.
B Doing so may cause the projector to overheat, which can cause fire or
damage to the projector.
B Do not place the projector in narrow, badly ventilated places such as
closets or bookshelves.
B Do not place the projector on cloth or papers, as these materials could be
drawn into the air inlet port.
Do not set up the projector in humid or dusty places or in places where
the projector may come into contact with smoke or steam.
B Using the projector under such conditions may result in fire or electric
shocks.
When disconnecting the power cord, hold the plug, not the lead.
B If the power cord itself is pulled, the lead will become damaged, and fire,
short-circuits or serious electric shocks may result.
Always disconnect all cables before moving the projector.
B Moving the projector with cables still attached can damage the cables,
which could cause fire or electric shocks to occur.
Do not place any heavy objects on top of the projector.
B Failure to observe this may cause the projector to become unbalanced
and fall, which could result in damage or injury.
