    Precautions on handling
    Precautions on transport
    Make absolutely sure that the lens cap is in place
    when transporting the projector or carrying it
    around. Both the projector and the projection lens
    are precision-made and, as such, are susceptible to
    vibration and impacts. When transporting the
    projector and lens or carrying them around, place
    them in the boxes in which they were housed at the
    time of purchase, and take care to keep them away
    from vibration and impacts.
    Precautions on installation
    Be sure to observe the following precautions when
    installing the product.
    Avoid installing the product in a place
    exposed to vibrations or impacts.
    If the projector is installed in a place where
    vibrations are transmitted from a source of
    driving power and others or mounted in a car or
    a vessel, vibrations or impacts may be
    transmitted to the product to damage the internal
    parts, causing failure. Install the product in a
    place free from vibrations and impacts.
    Do not move the projector while it is
    operating or subject it to vibration or
    impact.
    The service life of its internal motors may be
    shortened.
    Do not install the projector near high-
    voltage power lines or power sources.
    The product may be exposed to interference if it
    is installed in the vicinity of high-voltage electrical
    power lines or power sources.
    Do not place the projector on a vinyl
    sheet or carpet.
    If a vinyl sheet sucked up and blocks the air filter
    intake port, the internal temperature of the
    projector may increase, which triggers the
    protection circuit, turning off the power.
    Be sure to ask a specialized technician
    when to install the product to a ceiling.
    If the product is to be installed hanging from the
    ceiling, purchase an optional hanging attachment
    (for high ceiling: Model No. ET-PKD55) (for low
    ceiling: Model No. ET-PKD55S) and call a
    specialized technician for installation.
    Do not place the projector over 2 700 m
    (8 881.5) above sea level. When using it
    over 1 400 m (4 605.3) above sea level,
    set the “Fan Control1”, described on
    page 35, to “HIGHLAND”.
    Otherwise the life of the product may be
    shortened.
    Disposal
    To discard the product, call the dealer or a
    specialized dealer.
    Precautions on use
    To view clear images:
    • The audience cannot enjoy high-contrast and
    clear images if outside light or the illumination
    interferes the screen surface.Draw window
    curtains or blinds, turn off the lightings near the
    screen or take other proper measures.
    • In rare cases, wafture can occur on the screen
    affected by the warm air from the exhaust port
    depending on the environment.
    Do not touch the surface of the
    projection lens with bare hand.
    If fingerprints or stains are left on the projection
    lens surface, they are magnified and projected
    on the screen. Keep your hands away from the
    lens. Cover the lens with the supplied lens cap
    when the projector is not used.
    Lamp
    A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used
    for the light source of this product. A high-pressure
    mercury lamp has the following characteristics:
    • It may burst with a loud sound or end its life cycle
    by not illuminating because of given impacts,
    flaws, or deterioration due to used hours.
    • The life cycle of a mercury lamp varies according
    to the individual difference or conditions of use.
    In particular, turning the power on and off
    frequently and/or repeatedly will greatly affect the
    life cycle.
    • In rare cases, it may burst shortly after the first
    lighting.
    • The possibility of burst increases when the
    lamp is used beyond the replacement time.
    Cleaning and maintenance
    Be sure to remove the power cord plug from the
    receptacle before cleaning.
    Use soft and dry cloth to clean the cabinet
    If stains are hard to remove, use a cloth
    dampened with a kitchen detergent solution
    (neutral) and squeezed to wipe the cabinet and
    finish with a dry cloth. If a chemical wipe is used,
    follow its instructions.
    Do not clean the lens surface with fuzzy
    or dusty cloth.
    If dust adheres to the lens, it will be magnified
    and projected on the screen.
    Use a soft and clean cloth to wipe off dust.
