Precautions on handling

Cautions regarding transportation

Be sure to attach the lens cover before transporting the projector. The projection lens is extremely susceptible to vibration and shocks. When carrying the projector, use the accessory carrying bag.

Cautions regarding setting-up

Observe the following at all times when setting up the projector.

Avoid setting up in places which are subject to vibration or shocks.

If the projector is set up in locations with strong vibration, such as near a motor, or if it is installed inside a vehicle or on board a ship, the projector may be subjected to vibration or shocks which can damage the internal parts and cause malfunctions or accidents. Accordingly, set up the projector in a place which is free from such vibrations and shocks.

Do not set up the projector near high-voltage power lines or near motors.

The projector may be subject to electromagnetic interference if it is set up near high-voltage power lines or motors.

If installing the projector to the ceiling, ask a qualified technician to carry out all installation work.

If the projector is to be suspended from the ceiling, you will need to purchase the separate installation kit (Model No.: ET-PK730). Furthermore, all installation work should only be carried out by a qualified technician.

If using this projector at high elevations (above 1 400 m), set the FAN CONTROL to HIGH. (Refer to page 41.)

Failure to observe this may result in malfunctions.

Notes on use

In order to get the best picture quality

If outside light or light from indoor lamps is shining onto the screen, the images projected will not have good contrast. Draw curtains or blinds over any windows and turn off any fluorescent lights near the screen to prevent reflection.

Do not touch the surfaces of the lens with your bare hands.

If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the screen. Moreover, when not using the projector, retract the lens and then cover it with the accessory lens cover.

About the screen

If the screen you are using is dirty, damaged or discolored, attractive projections cannot be obtained. Do not apply any volatile substances to the screen, and do not let it become dirty or damaged.

About the lamp

The lamp may need to be replaced earlier due to variables such as a particular lampís characteristics, usage conditions and the installation environment, especially when it is subjected to a continuous use for more than 10 hours.

Before carrying out cleaning and maintenance, be sure to disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.

Wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth.

If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water with a small amount of neutral detergent in it, squeeze the cloth very well, and then wipe the cabinet. After cleaning, wipe the cabinet dry with a dry cloth.

If using a chemically-treated cloth, read the instructions supplied with the cloth before use.

Do not wipe the lens with a cloth that is dusty or which produces lint.

If any dust or lint gets onto the lens, such dust or lint will be magnified and projected onto the screen. Use a blower to clean any dust and lint from the lens surface, or use a soft cloth to wipe off any dust or lint.
