malfunctions may result.
Do not place your skin into the light beam while the
projector is being used.
Strong light is emitted from the projector’s lens. If you
place directly into this light, it can hurt or damage
your skin.
When replacing the lamp, allow it to cool for at least
one hour before handling it.
The lamp cover gets very hot, and touching it can
cause burns.
Do not look into the lens while the projector is being
used.
Strong light is emitted from the projector’s lens. If you
look directly into this light, it can hurt and damage
your eyes.
Be especially careful not to let young children look

Precautions with regard to safety
Cautions on use
In order to get the best picture quality
The projector has a high pressure mercury lamp and
that is characterised as follows.
The brightness of the lamp depends on the duration
of use.
Draw curtains or blinds over any windows and turn off
any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or
light from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen.
The lamp may explode or shorten the lamp life by
shocks or chipping damage.
The lamp may explode only occasionally after using
the projector.
The lamp may explode if using the projector after the
instructed lamp replacement timing.
The lamp life is depends on individual lamp
characteristics, usage condition and the installation
environment. Especially the consecutive use of the
projector for more than 10 hours, or the frequent
switching on or off may greatly affect on the lamp life.
Do not touch the surfaces of the lens or the front
glass 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, close the Front panel cover.
Liquid crystal panel
Do not project the same image for long periods of
time, as this may remain as an afterimage on the
liquid crystal panel.
The liquid crystal panel of the projector is built with
very high precision technology to provide fine picture
details. Occasionally, a few stuck pixels may appear
on the screen as fixed points of blue, green or red. It
is recommended to switch off the projector once and
try after 1 hour later again. Please note that this does
not affect the performance of your LCD.
Screen
Do not apply any volatile substances which may
cause discolouration to the screen, and do not let it
become dirty or damaged.
Optical components
If you use the projector consecutively 6 hours every
day, the optical components may need to be replaced
in less than 1 year.

SH (m) = SD (") x 0.0152
LW (m) = 0.0304 x SD (") - 0.048
LT (m) = 0.0606 x SD (") - 0.057
* The results above are approximate and may differ slightly from the actual measurements.
NOTE:
• Do not use the projector at a raised or a horizontally tilted position as it may cause
malfunction of the projector.
• Make sure the projector lens surface is parallel with the screen. You can tilt the projector
body approximately ± 30° vertically. Overtilting may result in shortening the component’s
life.
• For the best quality of the projection image, install a screen where sun light or room light does not shine directly onto the
screen. Close window shades or curtains to block the lights.
