Precautions with regard to safety

WARNINGS

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 Center for repairs. Do not attempt to repair the projector yourself, as this can be dangerous.

Do not install this projector in a place which is not strong enough to take the full weight of the projector.

If the installation location is not strong enough, it may fall down or tip over, and severe injury or damage could result.

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.

Do not use other than an authorized ceiling mount bracket.

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 Center for repairs.

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 remove the cover or modify it in any way.

High voltages can cause fire or electric shocks. For any inspection, adjustment and repair work, please contact an Authorized Service Center.

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 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 Center to carry out any repairs to the power cord that might be necessary.

Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.

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 place the projector on top of surfaces which are unstable.

If the projector is placed on top of a surface which is sloped or unstable, it may fall down or tip over, and injury or damage could result.

Do not place the projector into water or let it become wet.

Failure to observe this may result in fire or electric shocks.

Do not place the projector on soft materials such as carpets or sponge mats.

Doing so may cause the projector to overheat, which can cause burns, fire or damage to the projector.

Do not place liquid containers on top of the projector.

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 Center.

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.

Do not allow the + and - terminals of the batteries to come into contact with metallic objects such as necklaces or hairpins.

Failure to observe this may cause the batteries to leak, overheat, explode or catch fire.

Store the batteries in a plastic bag and keep them away from metallic objects.
