All the safety and operating instructions should be read
before the product is operated.
Read all of the instructions given here and retain them
for later use. Unplug this projector from AC power
supply before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the

Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
Do not place this projector on an unstable cart, stand,
or table. The projector may fall, causing serious injury
to a child or adult, and serious damage to the projector.
Use only with a cart or stand recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the projector. Wall or shelf
mounting should follow the manufacturer's instructions,
and should use a mounting kit approved by the
manufacturers.
An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination to
overturn.
Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the
cabinet are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable
operation of the equipment and to protect it from
overheating.
The openings should never be covered with cloth or
other materials, and the bottom opening should not be
blocked by placing the projector on a bed, sofa, rug, or
other similar surface. This projector should never be
placed near or over a radiator or heat register.
This projector should not be placed in a builtin installation such as a book case unless proper
ventilation is provided.
Never push objects of any kind into this projector
through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous

The AC Power Cord supplied with this projector meets the requirement for use in the country you purchased it.
AC Power Cord used in the United States and Canada is listed by the Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) and certified by the Canadian Standard Association (CSA).
AC Power Cord has a grounding-type AC line plug. This is a safety feature to be sure
that the plug will fit into the power outlet. Do not try to defeat this safety feature. Should
you be unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician.
GROUND
This cord is already fitted with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin
face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse must be used of the
same rating, marked thus
. If the fuse cover is detachable, never use the plug with the cover omitted. If a
replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug
(i.e. red or orange). Fuse covers are available from the Parts Department indicated in your User Instructions.
If the plug supplied is not suitable for your socket outlet, it should be cut off and destroyed.
The end of the flexible cord should be suitably prepared and the correct plug fitted. (See Over)
WARNING : A PLUG WITH BARED FLEXIBLE CORD IS HAZARDOUS IF ENGAGED IN A LIVE SOCKET
OUTLET.
The Wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green-and-yellow . . . . . . . Earth

Brown . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked
by the letter E or by the safety earth symbol
or coloured green or green-and-yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or
coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or
coloured red.

RECOMMENDATION
We recommend avoiding dusty/smoky environments
when operating the projector. Usage in these
environments may cause a poor image quality.
When using the projector under dusty or smoky
conditions, dust may accumulate on a lens, LCD
panels, or optical elements inside the projector. This
condition may degrade the quality of a projected
image. When the symptoms above are noticed,
contact your authorized dealer or service station for
proper cleaning.

Note:
This projector uses a high-pressure lamp which must be handled carefully and properly.
Improper handling may result in accidents, injury, or create a fire hazard.
Lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is no guarantee
of the same life for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their life in a shorter period of time than
other similar lamps.
If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced, i.e., if the LAMP REPLACE indicator lights up,
replace the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY after the projector has cooled down. (Follow carefully the
instructions in the Lamp Replacement section of this manual.) Continuous use of the lamp with the LAMP
REPLACE indicator lighted may increase the risk of lamp explosion.
A Lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock or degradation as a result of hours of use as its lifetime
draws to an end. Risk of explosion may differ according to the environment or conditions in which the
projector and lamp are being used.
If a lamp explodes, disconnect the projector's AC plug from the AC outlet immediately. Contact an authorized
service station for a checkup of the unit and replacement of the lamp. Additionally, check carefully to ensure
that there are no broken shards or pieces of glass around the projector or coming out from the cooling air
circulation holes. Any broken shards found should be cleaned up carefully. No one should check the inside of
the projector except those who are authorized trained technicians and who are familiar with projector service.
Inappropriate attempts to service the unit by anyone, especially those who are not appropriately trained to do
so, may result in an accident or injury caused by pieces of broken glass.

Appendix
Troubleshooting
Before calling your dealer or service center for assistance, check the items below once again.
Make sure you have properly connected the projector to peripheral equipment as described on
pages15-17.
Make sure all equipment is connected to AC outlet and the power is turned on.
When you operate the projector with a computer and it does not project an image, restart the
computer.
