Follow these safety instructions when setting up and
using the projector:
- Do not
look into the lens when the projector is on. The bright light can
damage your eyes. Avoid standing in front of the projector so the
bright light does not shine into your eyes.
- Do not mount the projector on a ceiling or
wall.
- Do not install or place the projector vertically.
Doing so may cause a malfunction.
- When turning on the projector at a distance using
the remote control, make sure there is no one looking into the
lens.
- Do not
place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table
or on a surface that is unable to support its
weight. Otherwise, it could fall or topple causing an accident and
injury.
- When installing the projector in a high position,
take measures to prevent it from falling by using wires to ensure
safety in an emergency, such as an earthquake, and to prevent
accidents. If the projector is not installed correctly, the
projector could fall. This may result in injury or accidents.
Contact your dealer to carry out the installation work.
- Do not install the projector in locations exposed to
high humidity and dust, such as on a kitchen counter, in the
kitchen, or near a humidifier, or in locations exposed to oil smoke
or steam. Doing so could cause fire or electric shock.
- Do not use
the projector near water, sources of heat, high-voltage electrical
wires, or sources of magnetic fields.
- Do not use the device near any medical equipment or
equipment that is automatically controlled, such as automatic doors
or fire alarms. Electromagnetic interference from the device may
cause such equipment to malfunction and cause an accident.
- Use the
type of power source indicated on the projector. Use of a different
power source may result in fire or electric shock. If you are not
sure of the power available, consult your dealer or power
company.
- Place the
projector near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily
unplugged.
- Take the
following precautions when handling the plug: Do not hold the plug
with wet hands. Do not insert the plug into a dusty outlet. Insert
the plug firmly into the outlet. Do not pull the power cord when
disconnecting the plug; always be sure to hold the plug when
disconnecting it. Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or
power strips. Failure to comply with these precautions could result
in fire or electric shock.
- Do not
place the projector where the cord can be walked on. This may
result in fraying or damage to the plug.
- Unplug the
projector from the wall outlet and allow to cool before cleaning.
Use a dry cloth (or, for stubborn dirt or stains, a moist cloth
that has been wrung dry) for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaners, any sprays containing flammable gas, or solvents such as
alcohol, paint thinner, or benzine.
- Do not
block the slots and openings in the projector case. They provide
ventilation and prevent the projector from overheating.
If the vents are covered, the internal temperature
could rise and cause a fire. Do not place the projector in
locations subject to high temperatures, such as near heating
equipment. Do not operate the projector on a sofa, rug, or
other soft surface, or set it on top of loose papers. Do not cover
the projector with a blanket, curtain, or tablecloth. If you are
setting up the projector near a wall, leave at least 11.8 inches (30 cm) of space between the wall and the
projector.
- Do not
operate the projector in a closed-in cabinet unless proper
ventilation is provided.
- Never
allow objects of any kind to enter any openings in the projector.
Do not leave objects, especially flammable objects, near the
projector. Never spill liquid of any kind into the projector.
- You may
need to clean the air filter and vent. A clogged air filter or vent
can block ventilation needed to cool the projector. Do not use
canned air, or the gases may leave a residue.
- Do not use or store the projector in locations where
it will be subject to dust or dirt. Otherwise, the quality of the
projected image may decline, or the air filter may become clogged,
resulting in a malfunction or fire.
- Do not
store the projector outdoors for an extended length of time.
- Except as
specifically explained in this manual, do not attempt to service
this product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages and
other hazards.
- Never open
any covers on the projector except as specifically explained in
this manual. Never attempt to disassemble or modify the projector.
Refer all repairs to qualified service personnel.
- Unplug the
projector from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions: if it does not
operate normally when you follow the operating instructions, or
exhibits a distinct change in performance; if smoke, strange odors,
or strange noises come from the projector; if the power cord or
plug is damaged or frayed; if liquid or foreign objects get inside
the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water; if it
has been dropped or the housing has been damaged.
- Do not
touch the plug during an electrical storm. Otherwise, you may
receive an electric shock.
- Unplug the
projector when it will not be used for extended periods.
- Do not use
the projector where it may be exposed to rain, water, or excessive
humidity.
- Do not install the projector in locations where it
may be subject to salt damage or corrosive
gas. Doing so may result in malfunction and the corrosion
may cause the projector to fall. It may also cause
the projector to malfunction.
- Do not use
or store the projector where it may be exposed to smoke, steam,
corrosive gases, excessive dust, vibration, or shock.
- Do not use
the projector where flammable or explosive gases may be
present.
- Do not use
or store the projector or remote control in a hot location, such as
near a heater, in direct sunlight, or in a closed vehicle.
- If you use
the projector in a country other than where you purchased it, use
the correct power cord for that country.
- Do not
stand on the projector or place heavy objects on it.
- Do not use
the projector outside of the required temperature range below:
41 to 95 °F (5 to 35 °C) at an altitude of 7500 feet
(2286 m) or less, or 41 to 86 °F (5 to 30 °C) at an altitude of
7500 feet (2286 m) to 9842 feet (3000 m)
Doing so may cause an unstable display and could lead
to projector damage. Do not use or store the projector where it may
be exposed to sudden changes in temperature.
- Do not
store the projector outside of the required temperature range of 14
to 140 °F (–10 to 60 °C) or in direct sunlight for long periods of
time. Doing so may cause damage to the case.
- Do not
place anything that can become warped or damaged by heat near the
exhaust vents. Do not bring your hands or face close to the vents
while projection is in progress. Do not bring your face close to
the projector while it is in use.
- Before you
move the projector, make sure its power is turned off, the plug is
disconnected from the outlet, and all cables are disconnected.
- Do not
place the source of an open flame, such as a lit candle, on or near
the projector.
- During projection, do not block the light from the
projector with a book or other objects. If the light from the
projector is blocked, the area on which the light shines becomes
hot which could cause it to melt, burn, or start a fire. Also, the
lens may get hot due to the reflected light which could cause the
projector to malfunction. To stop projection, use the Blank
function, or turn off the projector.
- Do not
modify the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on top of the
power cord or bend, twist, or pull it excessively. Keep the power
cord away from hot electrical appliances.
