Before use
Caution when moving the projector
Be sure to check that the lens cover has been attached to the lens
before moving the projector.
The projection lens is extremely susceptible to vibration and shocks. When
moving the projector, use the accessory softcase. When placing the projector
inside the softcase, position it so that the lens is facing upward.
Do not put anything else in the softcase other than the projector, cables,
remote control unit and the SD memory card.
Cautions regarding setting-up
Avoid setting up in places which are subject to vibration or shocks.
The internal parts can be damaged, which may cause malfunctions or
accidents.
Avoid setting up in places which are subject to sudden temperature
changes, such as near an air conditioner.
The life of the lamp may be shortened.
Do not set up the projector near high-voltage power lines or near
motors.
The projector may be subject to electromagnetic interference.
If installing the projector to the ceiling, ask a qualified technician to
carry out all installation work.
You will need to purchase the separate installation kit (Model No.ET-PKP1).
Furthermore, all installation work should only be carried out by a qualified
technician.
If using this projector at high elevations (above 1 400 m), set the
“HIGHLAND” to “ON”. (Refer to page 50.)
Failure to observe this may result in malfunctions.
Notes on use
In order to get the best picture quality
Draw curtains or blinds over any windows and turn off any lights near the
screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor lamps from shining onto
the screen.

Do not touch the glass parts of the lens and the lens cover with your
bare hands.
If the glass parts of the lens and the lens cover become dirty from
fingerprints or anything else, it will be magnified and projected onto the
screen.
Screen
Do not apply any volatile substances which may cause discolouration to the
screen, and do not let it become dirty or damaged.
SD memory card slot
Make sure that there are no foreign objects inside the slot when inserting the
SD memory card (sold separately). Failure to observe this may damage the
card and the slot.
Lamp
The lamp may need to be replaced earlier due to variables such as individual
lamp characteristics, usage conditions and the installation environment,
especially when the projector is subjected to continuous use for more than
10 hours or the power is frequently turned on and off.
Liquid crystal panel
The liquid crystal panel of the projector is built with very high precision
technology to provide fine picture details. Occasionally, a few non-active
pixels may appear on the screen as fixed points of blue, green or red.
Please note that this does not affect the performance of your LCD.
