Important Safety Instructions
Follow these safety instructions when setting up and using the projector:
• Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table.
• Do not use the projector near water or sources of heat.
• Use the type of power source indicated on the projector. If you are not sure of the power available,
consult your dealer or power company.
• Place the projector near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.
Placez l’appareil près d’une prise de courant où la fiche peut être débranchée facilement.
• Insert the projector’s three-wire grounding-type plug into a properly grounded outlet. If you have a two-
prong outlet, contact an electrician to replace it. Do not hold the plug with wet hands.
• Take the following precautions for the plug. Failure to comply with these precautions could result in
sparks or fire: Do not insert the plug into an outlet with dust present. Insert the plug firmly into the outlet.
• Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles. This can cause fire or
electric shock.
• Do not place the projector where the cord can be walked on. This may result in fraying or damage to the
plug.
• Unplug the projector from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use
liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Do not block the slots and openings in the projector case. They provide ventilation and prevent the
projector from overheating. Do not operate the projector on a sofa, rug, or other soft surface, or in a
closed-in cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.
• Never push objects of any kind through the cabinet slots. Never spill liquid of any kind into the projector.
• Except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide, do not attempt to service this product yourself.
Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltages and other hazards.
• Unplug the projector from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions: When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed. If liquid has been spilled into
the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water. If it does not operate normally when you follow
the operating instructions, or if it exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.
If it has been dropped or the housing has been damaged.
• Unplug the projector during lightning storms or when it will not be used for extended periods.
• Do not place the projector and/or remote control on top of heat-producing equipment or in a hot location.
• If you use the projector in a country other than where you purchased it, use the correct power cord for that
country.
• Do not stand on the projector or place heavy objects on it.
• Do not use the projector outside of the required temperature range of 41 to 95 °F (5 to 35 °C). Doing so
may cause an unstable display and could lead to projector damage.
• Do not store the projector outside of the required temperature range of 14 to 140 °F (-10 to 60 °C) or in
direct sunlight for long periods of time. Doing so may cause damage to the case.
• The projector contains many glass parts such as the lens and projection lamp. The lamp is fragile and can
easily break. If the lamp breaks, handle the projector very carefully to avoid injury from broken glass,
and contact your dealer or service representative for repair. Be careful to avoid getting pieces of glass in
the eyes or mouth.
• Be particularly careful if the projector is installed against the ceiling, as small pieces of glass may fall
down when the lamp cover is removed.
• Never try to remove the lamp immediately after use, as this will cause serious burns. See page 48 for
instructions on replacing the lamp.
