Precautions with regard to safety
ENGLISH
WARNING
If you notice smoke, strange smells or noise coming from the projector, disconnect the
power cord plug from the wall outlet.
• Do not continue to use the projector in such cases, otherwise fire or electric shocks could result.
• Check that no more smoke is coming out, and then contact an Authorized Service Centre for repairs.
• Do not attempt to repair the projector yourself, as this can be dangerous.
Installation work (such as ceiling suspension) should only be carried out by a qualified
technician.
• If installation is not carried out correctly, there is the danger that injury or electric shocks may occur.
• Use the dedicated ceiling mount bracket specified for the model.
• Use the provided safety wire cable and take measures to prevent the projector from falling.
Do not overload the wall outlet.
• If the power supply is overloaded (for example, by using too many adapters), overheating may occur and fire
may result.
Do not look into the lens while the projector is being used.
• Strong light is emitted from the projector’s lens. If you look directly into this light, it can hurt and damage your
eyes.
• Be especially careful not to let young children look into the lens. In addition, turn off the power and disconnect
the power cord plug when you are away from the projector.
Never attempt to modify or disassemble the projector.
• High voltages can cause fire or electric shocks.
• For any inspection, adjustment and repair work, please contact an Authorized Service Centre.
Do not install this projector in a place which is not strong enough to take the full weight
of the projector or on top of a surface which is unstable.
• If the projector is installed in a place which is not strong enough or on top of a surface which is sloped or
unstable, it may fall down or tip over, and severe injury or damage could result.
If foreign objects or water get inside the projector, or if the projector is dropped or the
cabinet is broken, disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.
• Continued use of the projector in this condition may result in fire or electric shocks.
• Contact an Authorized Service Centre for repairs.
Do not place liquid containers on top of the projector.
Do not place the projector into water or let it become wet.
• If water spills onto the projector or gets inside it, fire or electric shocks could result.
• If any water gets inside the projector, contact an Authorized Service Centre.
Do not insert any foreign objects into the projector.
• Do not insert any metal objects or flammable objects into the projector or drop them onto the projector, as doing
so can result in fire or electric shocks.
Use only the power cord supplied with the projector.
Do not use the supplied power cord with equipment other than the projector.
• Failure to observe this may result in electric shocks.
Insert the power cord plug securely into the wall outlet.
• If the plug is not inserted correctly, electric shocks or overheating could result.
• Do not use plugs which are damaged or wall outlets which are coming loose from the wall.
Do not do anything that might damage the power cord or the power cord plug.
• Do not damage the power cord, make any modifications to it, place it near any hot objects, bend it excessively,
twist it, pull it, place heavy objects on top of it or wrap it into a bundle.
• If the power cord is used while damaged, electric shocks, short-circuits or fire may result.
• Ask an Authorized Service Centre to carry out any repairs to the power cord that might be necessary.
Clean the power cord plug regularly to prevent it from becoming covered in dust.
• If dust builds up on the power cord plug, the resulting humidity can damage the insulation, which could result in
fire. Pull the power cord plug out from the wall outlet and wipe it with a dry cloth.
• If not using the projector for an extended period of time, pull the power cord plug out from the wall outlet.
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.
• Failure to observe this may result in electric shocks.
