Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use

Precautions for use

Cautions when transporting

ffBefore using the projector, remove the dust sponge from the mounting portion of the projection lens and store it for the future use. When transporting the projector, remove the projection lens before attaching the dust sponge. Otherwise dust will accumulate inside and may cause malfunctions.

ffWhen transporting the projector, hold it securely by its bottom and avoid excessive vibration and impacts. They may damage the internal components and result in malfunctions.

ffDo not transport the projector with the adjustable feet extended. Doing so may damage the adjustable feet.

Cautions when installing

rAfter attaching the projection lens, be sure to attach the lens mount cover.

Otherwise dust will accumulate inside and may cause malfunctions.

rrDo not set up the projector outdoors.

The projector is designed for indoor use only.

rrDo not set up the projector in the following locations.

ffPlaces where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Doing so may cause damage to internal components or malfunction.

ffNear the exhaust of an air conditioner: Depending on the conditions of use, the screen may fluctuate in rare cases due to the heated air from the air exhaust port or the hot or cooled air. Make sure that the exhaust from the projector or other equipment, or the air from the air conditioner does not blow toward the front of the projector.

ffPlaces with sharp temperature fluctuations such as near lights (studio lamps): Doing so may shorten the life of the lamp, or result in deformation of the outer case due to heat, which may cause malfunctions.

The operating environment temperature of the projector should be between 0 °C (32 °F) and 45 °C (113 °F) when using it at elevations lower than 1 400 m (4 593') above sea level, and between 0 °C (32 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F) when using it at high altitudes (between 1 400 m (4 593') and 2 700 m (8 858') above sea level).

If you use the smoke cut filter, the operating environment temperature should be between 0 °C (32 °F) and 35 °C (95 °F). However, it cannot be used at high altitudes.

ffNear high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector.

ffPlaces where there is high-power laser equipment: Directing a laser beam onto the projection lens surface causes damage to the DLP chips.

rrBe sure to ask a specialized technician or your dealer when installing the projector on a ceiling.

The optional Ceiling mount bracket is required.

Model No.: ET‑PKD510H (for high ceilings), ET‑PKD510S (for low ceilings)

rrFocus adjustment

The high clarity projection lens is thermally affected by the light from the light source, making the focus unstable in the period just after switching on the power. Wait at least 30 minutes with the image projected before adjusting the lens focus.

rrMake sure to set [HIGH ALTITUDE MODE] to [ON] when using the projector at elevations between 1 400 m (4 593') and 2 700 m (8 858') above sea level.

Failure to do so may shorten the life of the components and result in malfunctions.

rrMake sure to set [HIGH ALTITUDE MODE] to [OFF] when using the projector at elevations lower than 1 400 m (4 593') above sea level.

Failure to do so may shorten the life of the components and result in malfunctions.

rrDo not install the projector at elevations of 2 700 m (8 858') or higher above sea level.

Doing so may shorten the life of the components and result in malfunctions.

rrDo not use the projector tilted to the right or left.

Using the projector at a vertical angle that exceeds 15° may reduce product life or result in malfunction.
