f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance -  
this indicates a need for service.  
- Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for  
ventilation. These ensure reliable operation of the product  
and protect it from overheating. These openings must not  
be blocked or covered. (The openings should never be  
blocked by placing the product on bed, sofa, rug, or similar  
surface. It should not be placed in a built-in installation  
such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is  
provided and the manufacturer’s instructions have been  
adhered to.)  
- To allow better heat dissipation, keep a clearance between  
this unit and its surrounding as shown below. When this  
unit is enclosed in a space of dimensions as shown below,  
use an air-conditioner so that the internal and external  
temperatures are the same.  
- When replacement parts are required, be sure the service  
technician has used replacement parts specified by the  
manufacturer or with same characteristics as the original  
part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric  
shock, or other hazards.  
-
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product,  
ask the service technician to perform safety checks to  
determine that the product is in proper operating condition.  
- The product should be placed more than one foot away  
from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,  
stoves, and other products (including amplifiers) that  
produce heat.

players, you should turn off the power of this product for  
protection against electric shock.

- Do not place combustibles behind the cooling fan. For  
example, cloth, paper, matches, aerosol cans or gas

and above  
200 mm  
- Do not look into the inside of this unit through vents  
(ventilation holes), etc. Do not look at the illumination lamp  
directly by opening the cabinet while the illumination lamp  
is turned on. The illumination lamp also contains ultraviolet  
rays and the light is so powerful that your eyesight can be  
impaired.  
- Do not drop, hit, or damage the light-source lamp (lamp  
unit) in any way. It may cause the light-source lamp to  
break and lead to injuries. Do not use a damaged light  
source lamp. If the light-source lamp is broken, ask your  
dealer to repair it. Fragments from a broken light-source  
lamp may cause injuries.  
- The light-source lamp used in this projector is a high  
pressure mercury lamp. Be careful when disposing of the  
lightsource lamp. If anything is unclear, please consult  
your dealer.  
- Do not ceiling-mount the projector to a place which tends  
to vibrate; otherwise, the attaching fixture of the projector  
could be broken by the vibration, possibly causing it to fall  
or overturn, which could lead to personal injury.  
- Use only the accessory cord designed for this product to  
prevent shock.  
and above  
- This product should be operated only with the type of  
power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of  
the type of power supply to your home, consult your  
product dealer or local power company.  
- This product is equipped with a three-wire plug. This plug  
will fit only into a grounded power outlet. If you are unable  
to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to  
install the proper outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose  
of the grounded plug.  
- Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not  
likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or  
against them. Pay particular attention to cords at doors,  
plugs, receptacles, and the point where they exit from the  
product.  
- For added protection of this product during a lightning  
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long  
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and  
disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage to  
the product due to lightning and power line surges.  
- Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or  
convenience receptacles on other equipment as this can  
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.  
*DO NOT allow any unqualified person to install the  
unit.  
Be sure to ask your dealer to install the unit (e.g.  
attaching it to the ceiling) since special technical  
knowledge and skills are required for installation. If  
installation is performed by an unqualified person, it  
may cause personal injury or electrical shock.  
- Never push objects of any kind into this product through  
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or  
short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.  
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.  
- Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening  
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous  
voltages and other hazards. Refer all service to qualified  
service personnel.  
-
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer service to  
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:  
a) When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.  
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen on the product.  
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water.  
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the  
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are  
covered by the Operation Manual, as an improper adjustment  
of controls may result in damage and will often require  
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product  
to normal operation.  
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.

Prolonged disuse of the unit may effect an error on the  
functions. Turn on the power occasionally and operate the  
unit.  
zUse a vacuum cleaner to suck up the dirt. Otherwise, use  
a cloth to wipe off the dirt. If dirt is allowed to accumulate  
in the air inlets, the internal temperature cannot be  
adjusted and this may cause a malfunction.

Mounting this Unit  
Measures to prevent the unit from toppling or dropping should be taken for safety reasons and accident prevention  
during emergencies including earthquakes.  
When mounting this unit on a pedestal or ceiling, remove the 4 feet on the bottom surface and use all the 4 screw  
holes (M5 screws) to mount.

zSpecial expertise and techniques are required for  
mounting this unit. Be sure to ask your dealer or a  
specialist to perform mounting.  
zRegardless whether the unit is still under guarantee, Meridian  
is not liable for any product damage caused by mounting  
the unit with non-approved ceiling fittings or when the  
environment is not suitable for ceiling-mount.  
zDepth of the screw holes (screw length) is 30 mm. Use  
screws shorter than 30 mm but longer than 19 mm.  
zWhen using the unit hanging from a ceiling, pay attention  
to the surrounding temperature. When a heater is in use,  
temperature around the ceiling is higher than expected.  
Using other screws will result in malfunctioning or  
cause the unit to drop.  
zWhen mounting to a pedestal, ensure sufficient space  
(foot height of 21.5 mm or higher) around the unit so that  
the air inlets are not blocked.  
zDo not tilt this unit more than 5 degrees from side to side  
when using. This may result in uneven colors or shortening  
of lamp life.
