Precautions with regard to safety

Important Information

Do not mix old and new batteries.

If the batteries are inserted incorrectly, they may explode or leak, and fire, injury or contamination of the battery compartment and surrounding area may result.

Remove the used batteries from the remote control promptly.

If you leave used batteries in the remote control for an extended period of time, it may cause liquid leaking, abnormal internal temperature rising or explosion.

If not using the projector for an extended period of time, disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet and remove the batteries from the remote control.

If dust builds up on the power plug, the resulting humidity may damage the insulation, which could result in fire.

Keeping or leaving the remote control with batteries inside may cause insulation deterioration, electrical leakage or explosion which could result in fire.

Do not put your weight on this projector.

You could fall or the projector could break, and injury may result.

Be especially careful not to let young children stand or sit on the projector.

Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning.

Electric shocks can result if this is not done.

If the lamp has broken, ventilate the room immediately. Do not touch or bring your face close to the broken pieces.

Failure to observe this may cause the user to absorb the gas which was released when the lamp broke and which contains nearly the same amount of mercury as fluorescent lamps, and the broken pieces may cause injury.

If you believe that you have absorbed the gas or that the gas has got into your eyes or mouth, seek medical advice immediately.

Ask your dealer about the replacement of the lamp unit and check the inside of the projector.

Ask an Authorized Service Center to clean inside the projector at least once a year.

If dust is left to build up inside the projector without being cleaned out, it can result in fire or problems with operation.

It is a good idea to clean the inside of the projector before the season for humid weather arrives. Ask your nearest Authorized Service Center to clean the projector when required. Please discuss with the Authorized Service Center regarding cleaning costs.

We are constantly making efforts to preserve and maintain a clean environment. Please take non repairable units back to your dealer or a recycling company.
