Securing personal information

• Personally identifiable information, such as IP addresses, may be saved on the projector.
• Before transferring or disposing of the projector, clear this data by per-forming [INITIALIZE PROJECTOR] on the on-screen menu.

Cautions for ensuring the projector’s performance

• If intense light like laser beams enters from the lens, it could lead to malfunction.
• Consult your dealer before using in places where much cigarette smoke or dust is present.
• When the same still image is projected for a long period of time with a computer, etc. the pattern of the image may remain on the screen after the projection is stopped, but it will disappear after a while. This happens due to the properties of liquid crystal panels, and is not a malfunction. We recommend using a screensaver on the computer side.
• When the projector is used at high altitudes (places where the atmo-spheric pressure is low), it may be necessary to replace the optical parts sooner than usual.
• About moving the projector
  • Detach the lens unit once, and be sure to attach the lens cap so as not to scratch the lens. Also, attach a dust protective cap to the projector.
  • Do not subject the projector to vibrations or strong shocks.
  • The projector could be damaged otherwise.
• Do not use the tilt feet for purposes other than adjusting the projec-tor’s tilt.
• Improper handling, such as carrying the projector by the tilt feet or using it leaned against a wall, could lead to malfunction.
• Do not touch the surface of the projection lens with bare hands. Fingerprints or dirt on the surface of the projection lens will be en-larged and projected on the screen. Do not touch the surface of the projection lens.
• Do not unplug the power cord from the projector or the power outlet while projecting. Doing so could cause deterioration of the projec-tor’s AC IN terminal or power plug contact. To interrupt the AC power supply while images are being projected, use a breaker, etc.
• About handling of the remote control
  • The remote control will not work if the projector’s remote signal sensor or the remote control’s signal transmitter is exposed to strong light or if there are obstacles between them that obstruct the signals.
  • Operate the remote control from within 20 meters from the projec-tor, pointing it at the projector’s remote signal sensor.
  • Do not drop the remote control or handle it improperly.
  • Do not let water or other liquids get on the remote control. Should the remote control get wet, wipe it off immediately.
  • Avoid using in hot and humid places as far as possible.

• Take measures to prevent external light from shining on the screen. Make sure only the light from the projector shines on the screen. The less external light on the screen, the higher the contrast and the more beautiful the images.
• About screens
Images will not be clear if there is dirt, scratches, discoloration, etc. on your screen. Handle the screen with care, protecting it from volatile substances, scratches and dirt.
• Concerning to all maintenance operations, refer to Installation Manual and follow all instructions properly.

Clearance for Installing the Projector

• When installing the projector, keep sufficient space around it, as described below. If not, the hot exhaust emitted from the projector may be taken back in.
• Also, make sure no wind from an air-conditioner hits the projector. The projector’s heat control system may detect an abnormality (tem-perature error) and automatically shut off the power.
• a: Intake vent / b: Exhaust vent / c: 20 cm/8” or greater / d: 30 cm/12” or greater

NOTE:

• When using multiple projectors together, provide sufficient space around the projectors for air intake and exhaust. When the intake and exhaust vents are obstructed, the temperature inside the projector will rise and this may result in a malfunction.
