							Precautions for use
14 - ENGLISH
Important 
Information
Precautions for use
 ■ Be sure to use the projector after removing the packaging material, such as 
the fastening tapes and protective sheet.
Take proper care when disposing of the removed packaging material.
Cautions when transporting
 z When transporting the projector
, be sure to attach the supplied lens cover to the projection lens.
 zWhen transporting the projector

, hold it securely by its bottom and avoid excessive vibration and impacts. 
Doing so may damage the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
 z Do not transport the projector with the adjustable feet extended. Doing so may damage the adjustable feet.
Cautions when installing
 ■ Do not set up the projector outdoors.
The projector is designed for indoor use only.
 ■Do not use under the following conditions.
▶z
Places where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Doing so may damage the internal 
parts and result in malfunctions.
▶zNear the exhaust of an air conditioner: Depending on the conditions of use, the screen may fluctuate due 
to the hot air from the air exhaust port or the heated or cooled air from the air conditioner
. 

Take care so that 
the exhaust from the projector or other equipment, or the air from the air conditioner does not blow toward 
the front of the projector.
▶z N

ear lights (studio lamps, etc.) where temperature changes greatly (“Operating environment” (
 page 119)): 
Doing so may shorten the life of the lamp or result in deformation of the outer case and malfunctions.
▶z Near high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector
.
 ■Be sure to ask a specialized technician when installing the product to a ceiling.
If the product is to be installed hanging from the ceiling, purchase an optional Ceiling Mount 
Attachment.
Model No.: ET-PKA110H (for high ceilings), ET-PKA110S (for low ceilings)
 ■ Lens focus
The high clarity projection lens is thermally affected by the light from the light source, making the focus 
unstable in the period just after switching on the power. Wait at least 30 minutes with the image projected 
before adjusting the lens focus.
 ■Make sure to set [HIGH ALTITUDE MODE] to [ON] when using the projector 
at elevations of 1 400 m (4 593 ft) or higher and lower than 2 700 m (8 858 ft) 
above sea level.
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
 ■ Make sure to set [HIGH ALTITUDE MODE] to [OFF] when using the projector 
at elevations lower than 1 400 m (4 593 ft) above sea level.
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
 ■ Do not install the projector at elevations of 2 700 m (8 858 ft) or higher above 
sea level.
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.

							Precautions for use
ENGLISH - 17
Important 
Information
Cautions on use
 ■ In order to get the picture quality
▶z
Draw curtains or blinds over windows and turn of f any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light 
from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen, in order to obtain high-quality images with higher contrast.
▶z Depending on the conditions of use, the screen may fluctuate due to the hot air from the air exhaust port or 
the heated or cooled air from the air conditioner

.
Take care so that the exhaust from the projector or other equipment, or the air from the air conditioner does 
not blow toward the front of the projector.
▶z The projection lens is thermally af

fected by the light from the light source, making the focus unstable in the 
period just after switching on. Focus stabilizes 30 minutes after video projection starts.
 ■ Do not touch the surface of the projection lens 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. Please put the lens cover (accessory) on the projector when you do not use it.
 ■LCD panel
The LCD panel is precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always 
lit. This is not a malfunction.
Also, projecting a still image for extended periods of time may lead to afterimages on LCD panels. Please be 
aware that in some cases these afterimages may not disappear completely
.
 ■Optical components
If using in an environment with a high temperature, or where dust or tobacco smoke is present, the 
replacement cycle of optical components such as LCD panels and polarizing plates may shorten even after 
less than one year of use. For more details, please consult your dealer
.
 ■Lamp
The luminous source of the projector is a mercury lamp with high internal pressure.
A high pressure mercury lamp has following characteristics.
▶z
The brightness of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.
▶zThe lamp may burst with sound or shorten life by shock or chipping.
▶zThe life of the lamp varies greatly depending on individual specificities and usage conditions. In particular
, 
continuous use over 12 hours and frequent on/of

f switching of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and 
affect the lamp life.
▶z In rare cases, the lamp burst shortly after the projection.
▶zThe risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace 
the lamp unit consistently

.
(When to replace the lamp unit (
 page 103), Replacing the lamp unit ( page 104))
▶z If the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in a form of smoke.
▶zIt is recommended to store replacement lamps for contingency
