Ensure that you read the following safeguards when setting up your projector.
Caution concerning the lamp unit

■Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp rup- tures. In case of lamp rupture, contact your nearest EIKI Authorized Dealer or Service Center for replacement. See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 96.

The projector may be safely tilted to a maximum angle of 9 degrees.

■Placement should be within 9 degrees of horizontal.

If you have application requiring tilt angle exceeding 9 degrees, please check with your local EIKI sales office.

Caution concerning the setup of the projector

■For minimal servicing and to maintain high image quality, EIKI recommends that this pro- jector be installed in an area free from hu- midity, dust and cigarette smoke. When the projector is subjected to these environments, the vents and lens must be cleaned more often. As long as the projector is regularly cleaned, use in these environments will not reduce the overall operation life of the unit. Internal cleaning should only be performed by an EIKI Authorized Dealer or Service Cen- ter.

When using the projector in high-altitude areas such as mountains (at altitudes of approximately 1,500 meters (4,900 feet) or more)

■When you use the projector in high-altitude areas with thin air, set “Fan Mode” to “High”. Neglecting this can affect the longevity of the optical system.

Warning about placing the projector in a high position

■When placing the projector in a high posi- tion, make certain it is carefully secured to avoid personal injury caused by the projec- tor falling down.

Do not set up the projector in places exposed to direct sunlight or bright light.

■Position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly on the screen washes out the colors, making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.

Do not subject the projector to hard impact and/or vibration.

■Protect the lens so as not to hit or damage the surface of the lens.

Rest your eyes occasionally.

■Continuously watching the screen for long hours will cause eye strain. Take regular breaks to rest your eyes.

Avoid locations with extremes of tem- perature.

■The operating temperature of the projector is from 41°F to 104°F (+5°C to +40°C).

■The storage temperature of the projector is from –4°F to 140°F (–20°C to +60°C).
