Safety Precautions
CAUTION
• Installation
• Avoid installing the projector in places where it may be exposed to:
- On tables, etc., that are vulnerable to heat.
- Strong vibrations
- Soot or steam
- Direct sunlight or near a heater (35°C/95°F or higher)
- High humidity or dust
- Extreme cold (0°C/32°F or lower)
- Strong magnetic or electric field generated from a nearby appliance
- Wobbling on an unstable surface
• Do not block the air vents.
• Do not block the air vents with cloth or an object.
When you put anything around the unit, be sure to ensure a space of 10 cm/4 inches or more between the unit and the
air vent. Be sure to prevent paper or cloth from blocking the air vent at the bottom of the unit. If blocked, the internal tem-
perature may increase, resulting in malfunctions.
• Do not bump the projector.
• Avoid bumping the projector when moving or handling. Shocks can cause damage.
• Care of the projector
• To prevent risk of accidents, always disconnect the power plug before cleaning the projector.
• Clean the lens surface with a commercial blower or lens cleaning paper.
Wiping with tissue paper or a handkerchief can damage the lens.
• To clean the cabinet, operation panel, and glass surface, wipe gently with a soft cloth. For particularly dirty spots, soak
the cloth in a neutral detergent mixed in water, wring out well and wipe off the dirt, then use a dry cloth to wipe dry.
• Do not wipe the projector with any volatile solvent such as benzine or thinner.
Solvents can cause surface deformation or flaking of the paint.
If using an impregnated cloth, follow the instructions of the cloth.
• Avoid scratching the glass surface.
• Take care not to scratch the glass surface of the scanner with hard or pointed objects.
Scratches on the glass may distort the projected image.
• Battery
• When inserting battery in the remote control, note the polarity (plus and minus signs) and insert correctly as indicated. In-
serting a battery in a wrong direction can cause rupture or leakage, and could result in fire and injury or soil the surround-
ing area.
• Do not use coin battery other than the type specified for the equipment. Incorrect battery usage could result in rupture or
leakage, and could cause fire and injury.
• Do not heat, break open, burn, or immerse the battery. Battery rupture or leakage could cause fire and injury.
• Perchlorate Material-special handling may apply.
See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate/index.cfm.
• Dew condensation
• Abruptly moving the unit to a place where there is a great temperature difference causes dew condensation on the main
unit.
Projection under a dew condensed state causes a failure.
• Servicing and cleaning
• Have the internal components cleaned by a retailer about once a year. There is a risk of fire or faulty operation if the
inside of the projector gets dusty and is not cleaned for a long time. For best results, the projector should be serviced be-
fore the wet season brings damp conditions. Cleaning charges are at the discretion of the retailer.
• If not using the projector for a long period:
• If you do not plan to use the projector for a long time, disconnect the power cable for safety.
• Disposal
• Follow the recommendations of your local authority when disposing of the projector.
• Transporting the projector
• Use the special packaging when transporting the projector. The manufacturer cannot accept responsibility in the event of
damage or accident if other packaging is used.
• Use the special packaging no more than two times. Repeated usage reduces the shock absorbency of the packaging and
can lead to damage or accident.
• Contact the retailer if you require new packaging.
