Lens hole cover
Lens protection material
 f Hold the bottom of the projector and do not hold the projection lens or the opening around the projection 
lens when transporting. Failure to do so may cause damage. 
Also, handle the projector in a way not to apply 
excessive vibration or shock. Failure to do so may cause a failure due to the damaged internal components.
 f Do not transport the projector with the adjustable feet extended. Doing so may damage the adjustable feet.
Cautions when installing
 r After attaching the projection lens, be sure to attach the Lens Mount Cover .
Not doing so may cause failure due to accumulating dust internally.
 rDo not set up the projector outdoors.
The projector is designed for indoor use only.
 rDo not set up the projector in the following locations.
 fPlaces where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Do\
ing so may cause damage to internal 
components or malfunction.
 fLocation close to sea or where corrosive gas may occur: 

The projector may fall due to corrosion. Also, failure to 
do so may shorten the life of the components and result in malfunction.
 f Near the exhaust of an air conditioner: Depending on the conditions of use, the screen may fluctuate in rare 
cases due to the heated air from the air exhaust port or the hot or cooled air from the air conditioner . Make sure 
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

.
 fPlaces with sharp temperature fluctuations such as near lights (studio lamps): Doing so may shorten the life of 
the light source, or result in deformation of the projector due to heat,\
 which may cause malfunctions.
Follow the operating environment temperature of the projector

.
 fNear high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector .
 fPlaces where there is high-power laser equipment: Directing a laser beam onto the projection lens surface 
causes damage to the DLP

 chips.

 rAsk a qualified technician or your dealer to install the cable wiring for DIGIT AL  LINK 
connection.
Image and sound may be disrupted if cable transmission characteristics cannot be obtained due to inadequate 
installation.
 r The projector may not work properly due to strong radio wave from the br\
oadcast 
station or the radio.
If there is any facility or equipment which outputs strong radio waves near the installation location, install the 
projector at a location sufficiently far from the source of the radio waves. Or , wrap the LAN cable connected to the 
 terminal using a piece of metal foil or a metal pipe which is grounded at both ends.
 r Focus adjustment
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. It is recommended that images be projected continuously for at least 
30 minutes before the focus is adjusted.
 rDo not install the projector at an altitude of 4   200   m (13   780') or higher above sea level.
 rDo not use the projector in a location that the ambient temperature exce\
eds 45

  °C 
(113
  °F).
Using the projector in a location that the altitude is too high or the a\
mbient temperature is too high may reduce the 
life of the components or result in malfunctions.
