Important Information

-If the projector does not operate normally when you follow the instructions described in this user's manual.

-If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

-If the projector exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.

•Disconnect the power cord and any other cables before carrying the projector.

•Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord before cleaning the cabinet or replacing the lamp.

•Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord if the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time.

•When using a LAN cable (V300X/V260X/V300W/V260W only):

For safety, do not connect to the connector for peripheral device wiring that might have excessive voltage.

CAUTION

•Do not use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses such as using the tilt foot to carry or hang (from the wall or ceiling) the projector can cause damage to the projector.

•Do not send the projector in the soft case by parcel delivery service or cargo shipment. The projector inside the soft case could be damaged.

•Select [HIGH] in Fan mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days. (From the menu, select [SETUP] → [OPTIONS(1)] → [FAN MODE] → [HIGH].)

•Do not turn off the AC power for 60 seconds after the lamp is turned on and while the POWER indicator is blink- ing green.

Doing so could cause premature lamp failure.

•Parts of the projector may become temporarily heated if the projector is turned off with the POWER button or if the AC power supply is disconnected during normal projector operation.

Use caution when picking up the projector.

Remote Control Precautions

•Handle the remote control carefully.

•If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.

•Avoid excessive heat and humidity.

•Do not heat, take apart, or throw batteries into fire.

•If you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.

•Ensure that you have the batteries' polarity (+/–) aligned correctly.

•Do not use new and old batteries together, or use different types of batteries together.

•Dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations.

Lamp Replacement

•Use the specified lamp for safety and performance.

•To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page 81.

•Be sure to replace the lamp when the message [THE LAMP HAS REACHED THE END OF ITS USABLE LIFE. PLEASE REPLACE THE LAMP. USE THE SPECIFIED LAMP FOR SAFETY AND PERFORMANCE] appears. If you continue to use the lamp after the lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury.

If this happens, contact your dealer for lamp replacement.

A Lamp Characteristic

The projector has a high-pressure mercury lamp as a light source.

A lamp has a characteristic that its brightness gradually decreases with age. Also repeatedly turning the lamp on and off will increase the possibility of its lower brightness.
