ship your projector. For maximum protection, repack the set as it was originally packed at
the factory.Moisture CondensationNever operate this unit immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm location.
When the unit is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture may condense on
the lens and the crucial internal parts. To prevent the unit from possible damage, do not
use the unit for at least 2 hours when there is an extreme or sudden change in tempera-
ture
.
Place and Manner of Installation•Do not place in hot locations, such as near heating equipment.  Doing so could cause
malfunction, and shorten the life of the projector.
•Avoid locations with oil or cigarette smoke.  Doing so will dirty the optical parts,
shortening their lives, and darkening the screen.
•Do not use the product vertically in any upright position or slantwise in an angle of 20
degrees or more.
•Using this instrument near a TV or radio may cause interference to the images or audio
sound. If this happens, move it away from the TV or radio.
•Moving the projector from a low-temperature room to a high-temperature room may
cause condensation on the lens or internal parts in the instrument. If you continue to use
it in that situation, the malfunction may result. Ensure to wait until the condensation
naturally disappears.
•In a high altitude location where air is thin, cooling efficiency is reduced so use the
projector with [Fan mode] set to [High].

 WARNING
•Always obey the instructions listed in IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS when placing the unit.
Attempting to clean/replace the lamp at a high site by yourself may cause you to drop down, thus
resulting in injury.
•If you wish to mount the projector on the ceiling, be sure to ask your dealer to do so. Mounting the
projector on a ceiling requires special ceiling brackets (sold separately) and specialized knowledge.
Improper mounting could cause the projector to fall, resulting in an accident.
•If the projector is ceiling-mounted, install the breaker for turning off the power in case of anomaly. Let
everyone involved with the use of the projector know that fact.
