IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Caution regarding usage of the projector

When using the projector, ensure not to sub- ject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this can result in damage. Take extra care with the lens. If you are not to use the projector for a long time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables connected to it.

Do not use the projector by holding the lens.

When storing the projector, ensure to attach the lens cap to the projector. (See page 11.)

Do not expose the storage case or projector to direct sunlight or near heat sources. The storage case or projector may change color or become deformed.

Other connected equipment

When connecting a computer or other audio- visual equipment to the projector, make the connections AFTER unplugging the power cord of the projector from the AC outlet and turning off the equipment to be connected.

Please read the operation manuals of the pro- jector and the equipment to be connected for instructions on how to make the connections.

Using the projector in other countries

The power supply voltage and the shape of the plug may vary depending on the region or country you are using the projector in. When using the projector overseas, ensure to use an appropriate power cord for the coun- try you are in.

Temperature monitor function

If the projector starts to over- heat due to setup problems or blockage of the air vents,

nate in the lower left corner of the picture. If the temperature continues to rise, the lamp will turn off, the temperature warning indicator on the projector will blink, and after a 90-second cool- ing-off period the projector will enter the standby mode. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” on page 64 for details.

Info

The cooling fan regulates the internal tem- perature, and its performance is automati- cally controlled. The sound of the fan may change during projector operation due to changes in the fan speed. This does not indicate malfunction.

Do not unplug the power cord during pro- jection or cooling fan operation. This can cause damage due to rise in internal tem- perature, as the cooling fan also stops.
