Cautions on use
In order to get the picture quality
 
„
Draw curtains or blinds over windows and turn off any 
lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light 
from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen.
Depending on where the projector is used, air exhaust 
vents or the warm air from air conditioning can cause 
a shimmering effect on the screen. For this reason, 
take care not to shield the air exhaust vents and con-
sider the direction of the air flowing from air condition-
ing.
Do not touch the surface of the 
 
„
projector lens cover with your 
bare hand.
If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from finger-
prints or anything else, this will be magnified and 
projected onto the screen.
Do not move the projector while it 
 
„
is operating or subject it to vibra-
tion or impact.
The service life of its internal components will be 
shortened.
The projector has a high pressure 
 
„
mercury lamp that is characterized 
as follows:
The brightness of the lamp will decrease over time.
 
z
The lamp may explode or shorten the lamp life by 
 
z
shocks or chipping damage.
In rare cases, it may burst shortly after the first use.
 
z
The possibility of its bursting increases when the 
 
z
lamp is used beyond the replacement time.
If the lamp bursts, gas inside the lamp is released 
 
z
in the form of smoke.
The life of a mercury lamp varies according to the 
 
z
individual difference or conditions of use.
In particular, turning the power on and off frequently 
 
z
and/or repeatedly as well as continuous use for 
10 hours will greatly affect the life cycle. Provide a 
lamp for replacement in advance.
Connection to external device
 
„
When connecting the projector to a computer or 
external device, use the power cord supplied with the 
corresponding device and a commercially available 
shielded interface cable.
Optical components
 
„
It may be necessary to replace the optical compo-
nents such as Liquid crystal panels and Polarizing 
plates in less than 1 year if using the projector in a 
high temperature environment or in a very dusty, oily 
smoke or tobacco smoke environment. For more  
details, please contact your dealer.
Liquid crystal panel
 
„
The Liquid crystal panels are precision-made. Note 
that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be 
missing or always lit, but this is not a malfunction.
Do not project the same image for long periods of 
time, as this may remain as an afterimage on the liq-
uid crystal panel. Display the white screen test pattern

Cleaning and maintenance
Ask an Authorized Service Center 
 
„
to clean the inside of the projec-
tor at least once a year.
If dust is left to build up inside the projector without 
being cleaned out, it can result in fire or problems with 
operation. It is a good idea to clean the inside of the 
projector before the season when humid weather ar-
rives.
Ask your nearest Authorized Service Center to clean 
the projector when required.
Please discuss with the Authorized Service Center 
regarding cleaning costs.
