In order to get the best picture quality
  Draw curtains or blinds over any windows and turn off 

any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or 
light from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen.

Do not touch the surfaces of the lens or the front 
glass with your bare hands.
  If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from 

fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified 
and projected onto the screen. Moreover, when not 
using the projector, close the front panel cover.

Liquid crystal panel
  Do not project the same image for long periods of 

time, as this may remain as an afterimage on the 
liquid crystal panel. Display the white screen test 
pattern for more than an hour to remove it. See 
“TEST PATTERN” on page 43.

  The liquid crystal panel of the projector is built with 

very high precision technology to provide fine picture 
details. Occasionally, a few stuck pixels may appear 
on the screen as fixed points of blue, green or red. It 
is recommended to switch off the projector once and 
try after 1 hour later again. Please note that this does 
not affect the performance of your LCD.

the projector.

  The lamp may explode if using the projector after the 

instructed lamp replacement timing.

  When the lamp exploded, it emits internal smoke-like 

gas.

  The lamp life is depends on individual lamp 

characteristics, usage condition and the installation 
environment. Especially the consecutive use of the 
projector for more than 10 hours, or the frequent 
switching on or off may greatly affect on the lamp life.
