functions.	 Operating	 the	 projector	 properly	 enables	
you	to	manage	those	features	and	maintains	it	in	good	
condition	for	many	years	to	come.
Improper	operation	may	result	in	not	only	shortening	the	
product-life,	but	also	malfunctions,	fire	hazard,	or	other	
accidents.
If	your	projector	seems	to	operate	improperly,	read	this	
manual	again,	check	operations	and	cable	connections	
and	 try	 the	 solutions	 in	 the	 “Troubleshooting”	 section	
in	 the	 back	 of	 this	 booklet.	 If	 the	 problem	 still	 persists,	
contact	the	dealer	where	you	purchased	the	projector	or	
the	service	center.

–	This	projector	produces	intense	light	from	the	projection	
lens.	 Do	 not	 stare	 directly	 into	 the	 lens,	 otherwise	
eye	 damage	 could	 result.	 Be	 especially	 careful	 that	
children	do	not	stare	directly	into	the	beam.
–	Install	the	projector	in	a	proper	position.	Otherwise	it	
may	result	in	fire	hazard.
–	Allowing	the	proper	amount	of	space	on	the	top,	sides,	
and	 rear	 of	 the	 projector	 cabinet	 is	 critical	 for	 proper	
air	 circulation	 and	 cooling	 of	 the	 unit.	The	 dimension	
shown	 here	 indicate	 the	 minimum	 space	 required.	
If	 the	 projector	 is	 to	 be	 built	 into	 a	 compartment	 or	
similarly	enclosed,	these	minimum	distances	must	be	
maintained.

–	Do	not	cover	the	ventilation	slot	on	the	projector.	Heat	
build-up	can	reduce	the	service	life	of	your	projector,	
and	can	also	be	dangerous.
–	If	the	projector	is	unused	for	an	extended	time,	unplug	
the	projector	from	the	power	outlet.

Safety Instructions
All	the	safety	and	operating	instructions	should	be	read	
before	the	product	is	operated.
Do	 not	 install	 the	 projector	 near	 the	 ventilation	 duct	 of	
air-conditioning	equipment.
Read	 all	 of	 the	 instructions	 given	 here	 and	 retain	 them	
for	later	use.	Unplug	this	projector	from	AC	power	supply	
before	 cleaning.	 Do	 not	 use	 liquid	 or	 aerosol	 cleaners.	
Use	a	damp	cloth	for	cleaning.
This	 projector	 should	 be	 operated	 only	 from	 the	 type	
of	 power	 source	 indicated	 on	 the	 marking	 label.	 If	 you	
are	not	sure	of	the	type	of	power	supplied,	consult	your	
authorized	dealer	or	local	power	company.
Do	not	overload	wall	outlets	and	extension	cords	as	this	
can	result	in	fire	or	electric	shock.	Do	not	allow	anything	
to	 rest	 on	 the	 power	 cord.	 Do	 not	 locate	 this	 projector	
where	the	cord	may	be	damaged	by	persons	walking	on	
it.
Do	 not	 attempt	 to	 service	 this	 projector	 yourself	 as	
opening	 or	 removing	 covers	 may	 expose	 you	 to	
dangerous	voltage	or	other	hazards.	Refer	all	servicing	
to	qualified	service	personnel.
Unplug	this	projector	from	wall	outlet	and	refer	servicing	
to	 qualified	 service	 personnel	 under	 the	 following	
conditions:
a.	When	the	power	cord	or	plug	is	damaged	or	frayed.
b.	If	liquid	has	been	spilled	into	the	projector.
c.	If	the	projector	has	been	exposed	to	rain	or	water.
d.	If	the	projector	does	not	operate	normally	by	following	
the	 operating	 instructions.	Adjust	 only	 those	 controls	
that	 are	 covered	 by	 the	 operating	 instructions	 as	
improper	 adjustment	 of	 other	 controls	 may	 result	 in	
damage	 and	 will	 often	 require	 extensive	 work	 by	 a	
qualified	technician	to	restore	the	projector	to	normal	
operation.
e.	If	the	projector	has	been	dropped	or	the	cabinet	has	
been	damaged.
f.		When	 the	 projector	 exhibits	 a	 distinct	 change	 in	
performance-this	indicates	a	need	for	service.
When	 replacement	 parts	 are	 required,	 be	 sure	 the	
service	technician	has	used	replacement	parts	specified	
by	the	manufacturer	that	have	the	same	characteristics	
as	 the	 original	 part.	 Unauthorized	 substitutions	 may	
result	in	fire,	electric	shock,	or	injury	to	persons.
Upon	 completion	 of	 any	 service	 or	 repairs	 to	 this	
projector,	 ask	 the	 service	 technician	 to	 perform	 routine	
safety	 checks	 to	 determine	 that	 the	 projector	 is	 in	 safe	
operating	condition.
Follow	 all	 warnings	 and	 instructions	 marked	 on	 the	
projector.
For	 added	 protection	 to	 the	 projector	 during	 a	 lightning	
storm,	or	when	it	is	left	unattended	and	unused	for	long	
periods	 of	 time,	 unplug	 it	 from	 the	 wall	 outlet.	This	 will	
prevent	damage	due	to	lightning	and	power	line	surges.
Do	 not	 expose	 this	 unit	 to	 rain	 or	 use	 near	 water...	 for	
example,	 in	 a	 wet	 basement,	 near	 a	 swimming	 pool,	
etc...
Do	 not	 use	 attachments	 not	 recommended	 by	 the	
manufacturer	as	they	may	cause	hazards.
Do	 not	 place	 this	 projector	 on	 an	 unstable	 cart,	 stand,	
or	 table.	The	 projector	 may	 fall,	 causing	 serious	 injury	
to	a	child	or	adult,	and	serious	damage	to	the	projector.	
Use	 only	 with	 a	 cart	 or	 stand	 recommended	 by	 the	
manufacturer,	 or	 sold	 with	 the	 projector.	 Wall	 or	 shelf	
mounting	 should	 follow	 the	 manufacturer’s	 instructions,	
and	 should	 use	 a	 mounting	 kit	 approved	 by	 the	
manufacturers.
An	 appliance	 and	 cart	 combination	
should	 be	 moved	 with	 care.	 Quick	 stops,	
excessive	 force,	 and	 uneven	 surfaces	
may	 cause	 the	 appliance	 and	 cart	
combination	to	overturn.
Slots	and	openings	in	the	back	and	bottom	of	the	cabinet	
are	provided	for	ventilation,	to	ensure	reliable	operation	
of	the	equipment	and	to	protect	it	from	overheating.
The	 openings	 should	 never	 be	 covered	 with	 cloth	 or	
other	 materials,	 and	 the	 bottom	 opening	 should	 not	 be	
blocked	by	placing	the	projector	on	a	bed,	sofa,	rug,	or	
other	 similar	 surface.	This	 projector	 should	 never	 be	
placed	near	or	over	a	radiator	or	heat	register.
This	 projector	 should	 not	 be	 placed	 in	 a	 built-in	
installation	such	as	a	book	case	unless	proper	ventilation	
is	provided.
Never	 push	 objects	 of	 any	 kind	 into	 this	 projector	
through	 cabinet	 slots	 as	 they	 may	 touch	 dangerous	
voltage	 points	 or	 short	 out	 parts	 that	 could	 result	 in	 a	
fire	or	electric	shock.	Never	spill	liquid	of	any	kind	on	the	
projector.

Air Circulation
Openings	in	the	cabinet	are	provided	for	ventilation.	To	
ensure	reliable	operation	of	the	product	and	to	protect	it	
from	 overheating,	 these	 openings	 must	 not	 be	 blocked	
or	covered.	
CAUTION
	
Hot	air	is	exhausted	from	the	exhaust	vent.	When	using	
or	 installing	 the	 projector,	 the	 following	 precautions	
should	be	taken.	
–	Do	not	put	any	flammable	object	or	spray	can	near	the	
projector,	hot	air	is	exhausted	from	the	air	vents.
–	Keep	the	exhaust	vent	at	least	3’	(1	m)	away	from	any	
objects.
–		Do	 not	 touch	 a	 peripheral	 part	 of	 the	 exhaust	 vent,	
especially	screws	and	metallic	parts.	These	areas	will	
become	hot	while	the	projector	is	being	used.
–		Do	not	put	anything	on	the	cabinet.	Objects	put	on	the	
cabinet	will	not	only	get	damaged	but	also	may	cause	
fire	hazard	by	heat.
Cooling	 fans	 are	 provided	 to	 cool	 down	 the	 projector.	
The	 fans’	 running	 speed	 is	 changed	 according	 to	 the	
temperature	inside	the	projector.

Safety Instructions
Moving the Projector
When	 moving	 the	 projector,	 replace	 the	 Lens	 Cap	 and	
retract	 adjustable	 feet	 to	 prevent	 damage	 to	 the	 lens	
and	cabinet.
When	the	projector	is	not	in	use	for	an	extended	period,	
put	it	into	the	supplied	carrying	case	with	the	lens	side	
up.
CAUTION 
	
The	 carrying	 case	 (supplied)	 is	 intended	 for	 protection	
against	 dust	 and	 scratches	 on	 surface	 of	 the	 cabinet,	
and	 it	 is	 not	 designed	 to	 protect	 an	 appliance	 from	
external	forces.	Do	not	transport	the	projector	by	courier	
or	 any	 other	 transport	 service	 with	 this	 case,	 otherwise	
the	 projector	 can	 be	 damaged.	 When	 handling	 the	
projector,	do	not	drop,	bump,	subject	it	to	strong	forces,	
or	put	other	things	on	the	cabinet.		
	CAUTION IN CARRyING OR TRANSPORTING   
THE PROjECTOR
	
 
–	Do	not	drop	or	bump	the	projector,	otherwise	damages				
or	malfunctions	may	result.
–		When	carrying	the	projector,	use	a	suitable	carrying	
case.
–		Do	not	transport	the	projector	by	courier	or	any	other	
transport	service	in	an	unsuitable	transport	case.	This	
may	 cause	 damage	 to	 the	 projector.	 For	 information	
about	transporting	the	projector	by	courier	or	any	other	
transport	service,	consult	your	dealer.
