This projection TV operates on extremely high voltage. To prevent fire or electric shock, please follow the precautions below.

Safety

•Operate the projection TV only on 120 V AC.

•One blade of the plug is wider than the other for safety purposes and will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.

•Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the projection TV and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it further.

•Unplug the projection TV from the wall outlet if you are not going to use it for several days or more. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

For details concerning safety precautions, see the supplied leaflet “IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS.”

Note on cleaning

Clean the cabinet of the projection TV with a dry soft cloth. To remove dust from the screen, wipe it gently with a soft cloth using vertical strokes only. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth slightly dampened with solution of mild soap and warm water. Never use strong solvents such as thinner or benzine for cleaning.

If the picture becomes dark after using the projection TV for a long period of time, it may be necessary to clean the inside of the projection TV. Consult qualified service personnel.

Installing

•To prevent internal heat build-up, do not block the ventilation openings.

•Do not install the projection TV in a hot or humid place, or in a place subject to excessive dust or mechanical vibration.

•Avoid operating the projection TV at temperatures below 5° C (41° F).

•If the projection TV is transported directly from a cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature has changed suddenly, the picture may be blurred or show poor color. This is because moisture has condensed on the mirror or lenses inside. If this happens, let the moisture evaporate before using the projection TV.

•To obtain the best picture, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. It is recommended to use spot lighting directed down from the ceiling or to cover the windows that face the screen with opaque drapery. It is desirable to install the projection TV in a room where the floor and walls are not of reflecting material. If necessary, cover them with dark carpeting or wall paper.
