• About the precautionary zone
By providing a precautionary zone or physical barriers, it is possible to prevent human eyes from
entering the hazard zone.
When the manager of the projector (operator) cannot prevent spectators from entering the hazard
zone such as in public facilities, it is recommended to secure a space of 1 m or more from the haz-
ard zone as “the precautionary zone” for the safety of the spectators. When installing the projector
overhead, it is recommended that the distance between the oor and the hazard zone be at least
3 m in the vertical direction.
In the United States, provide a horizontal distance of 2.5 meters from the hazard zone.
When installthe projector overhead, provide a vertical distance of 3 meters from the oor to the
hazard zone.

Notes on installation and maintenance
Do not install or store in such places as those described below.
• Locations that amplify vibrations and impacts
If installed in places where the vibrations from power sources and the like are conveyed, or in
vehicles or on vessels, etc. the projector could be aected by vibrations or shocks that may dam-
age internal parts and lead to malfunction.
• Close to high voltage power lines and power sources
It could disrupt the unit.
• Places where strong magnetic elds are generated
Doing so could lead to malfunction.
• Outdoors and places with humid or dust
Places exposed to oil smoke or steam
Places where corrosive gases are generated
Attached substances such as oil, chemicals and moisture may cause deformation or cracks of the
cabinet, corrosion of the metal parts, or malfunction.
To the dealer and the installer
When installing the projector, please see the Installation Manual provided on our web site.
1. To prevent the projector from falling, install it on the ceiling in a way with sucient strength to
withstand the combined weight of the projector and the ceiling mount unit for an extended
period of time.
2. When installing the projector on the ceiling, be sure to do so correctly in accordance with the
installation Manual for the Ceiling Mount Unit. Be sure to use the xed metal ttings and to tighten
the screws securely.
3. To prevent the projector from falling, use fall prevention wires.
• Use commercially available metal ttings to join the robust part of a building or construction
and the security bar of the projector with the fall prevention wires.
• Use commercially available metal ttings and fall prevention wires that have sucient strength
to withstand the combined weight of the projector and the ceiling mount unit.

Cautions for ensuring the projector’s performance
• If intense light like laser beams enters from the lens, it could lead to malfunction.
• Consult your dealer before using in places where much cigarette smoke or dust is present.
• When the same still image is projected for a long period of time with a computer, etc. the pattern
of the image may remain on the screen after the projection is stopped, but it will disappear after
a while. This happens due to the properties of liquid crystal panels, and is not a malfunction. We
recommend using a screensaver on the computer side.
• When the projector is used at high altitudes (places where the atmospheric pressure is low), it
may be necessary to replace the optical parts sooner than usual.
• About moving the projector
- Detach the lens unit once, and be sure to attach the lens cap so as not to scratch the lens. Also,
attach a dust protective cap to the projector.
- Do not subject the projector to vibrations or strong shocks.
The projector could be damaged otherwise.
• Do not use the tilt feet for purposes other than adjusting the projector’s tilt.
Improper handling, such as carrying the projector by the tilt feet or using it leaned against a wall,
could lead to malfunction.
• The projector does not support stack installation. Do not stack projectors directly on top of each
other. Failure to do so may cause damage or failure.
• Do not touch the surface of the projection lens with bare hands.
Fingerprints or dirt on the surface of the projection lens will be enlarged and projected on the
screen. Do not touch the surface of the projection lens.
• Do not unplug the power cord from the projector or the power outlet while projecting. Doing so
could cause deterioration of the projector’s AC IN terminal or power plug contact. To interrupt
the AC power supply while images are being projected, use a breaker, etc.
• About handling of the remote control
- The remote control will not work if the projector’s remote signal sensor or the remote control’s
signal transmitter is exposed to strong light or if there are obstacles between them that obstruct
the signals.
- Operate the remote control from within 20 meters from the projector, pointing it at the projec-
tor’s remote signal sensor.
- Do not drop the remote control or handle it improperly.
- Do not let water or other liquids get on the remote control. Should the remote control get wet,
wipe it o immediately.
- Avoid using in hot and humid places as far as possible.
• Take measures to prevent external light from shining on the screen.
Make sure only the light from the projector shines on the screen. The less external light on the
screen, the higher the contrast and the more beautiful the images.
• About screens
Images will not be clear if there is dirt, scratches, discoloration, etc. on your screen. Handle the
screen with care, protecting it from volatile substances, scratches and dirt.
• Concerning to all maintenance operations, refer to Installation Manual and follow all instructions
properly.

included with the lens unit to secure it to the projector. Do not hold the lens when moving the projector.
• When dismounting the lens from the projector, return the lens position to the home position before turning o the power. Failure
to do so may prevent the lens from being mounted or dismounted because of narrow space between the projector and the lens.
