hole of the lens cover and make the loop at the end,
and let the other end of the strap through the loop.
Not have a knot in the strap at either end.

the loop there. Let the lens cover with the one end of strap though the loop.
Strap hole
Replacing the filter cover for bottom-up use
For the projector installed bottom-up, please replace the filter cover with the
enclosed filter cover for bottom-up use, to keep
necessary ventilation space.
Please refer to the “Air filter” (54) for how to
detach and attach a filter cover.
WARNING ►Consult with your dealer
before a special installation such as

WARNING ►HOT! : Do not touch around the lamp cover and the exhaust
vents during use or just after use, since it is too hot.
►Do not look into the lens or vents while the lamp is on, since the strong light
is not good for your eyes.
►Do not handle the elevator knobs without holding the projector, since the
projector may drop down.
CAUTION ►Maintain normal ventilation to prevent the projector from heating
up. Do not cover, block or plug up the vents. Do not place anything that can stick or
be sucked to the vents, around the intake vents. Clean the air filter periodically.
►Do not use the security slot to prevent the projector from falling down, since it
is not designed for it.
►Use the shutdown switch only when the projector is not turned off by normal
procedure, since pushing this switch stops operation of the projector without
cooling it down.
