Installing and Connecting the Projection TV (continued)

Safety

• Operate the projection TV only on 120 V

AC.

• The plug is designed, for safety purposes,

to fit into the wall outlet only one way. If

you are unable to insert the plug fully

into the outlet, contact your dealer.

• If any liquid or solid object should fall

inside the cabinet, unplug the projection

TV immediately and have it checked by

qualified service personnel before

operating it further.

• If you will not be using the projection TV

for several days, disconnect the power by

pulling the plug itself. Never pull on the

cord.

Precautions

Note on cleaning

Clean the cabinet of the projection TV with a

dry soft cloth. To remove dust from the

screen, wipe it gently with a soft cloth.

Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth

slightly dampened with solution of mild

soap and warm water. Never use strong

solvents such as thinner or benzine for

cleaning.

If the picture becomes dark after using the

projection TV for a long period of time, it

may be necessary to clean the inside of the

projection TV. Consult qualified service

personnel.

Installing

• To prevent internal heat buildup, do not

block the ventilation openings.

• Do not install the projection TV in a hot

or humid place, or in a place subject to

excessive dust or mechanical vibration.

• Avoid operating the projection TV at

temperatures below 5° C (41° F).

• If the projection TV is transported

directly from a cold to a warm location,

or if the room temperature changes

suddenly, the picture may be blurred or

show poor color. In this case, please wait

a few hours to let the moisture evaporate

before turning on the projection TV.

• To obtain the best picture, do not expose

the screen to direct illumination or direct

sunlight. It is recommended to use spot

lighting directed down from the ceiling

or to cover the windows that face the

screen with opaque drapery. It is

desirable to install the projection TV in a

room where the floor and walls are not of

a reflective material.

Important Safeguards

For your protection, please read these

instructions completely, and keep this

manual for future reference.

Carefully observe and comply with all

warnings, cautions and instructions placed

on the set, or described in the operating

instructions or service manual.

WARNING

To guard against injury, the following basic

safety precautions should be observed in the

power cord plug (a plug having one blade

wider than the other), or with a three-wire

grounding type plug (a plug having a third

pin for grounding).

Follow the instructions below:

For the set with a

polarized AC power

cord plug

This plug will fit into the power outlet only

one way. This is a safety feature. If you are

unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet,

try reversing the plug. If the plug should still

fail to fit, contact your electrician to have a

suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the

safety purpose of the polarized plug by

forcing it in.

Alternate Warning

For the set with a

three-wire grounding

type AC plug

This plug will only fit into a grounding-type

power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you

are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,

contact your electrician to have a suitable

outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety

purpose of the grounding plug.

Overloading

Do not overload wall

outlets, extension cords or

convenience receptacles

beyond their capacity,

since this can result in fire

or electric shock.

Always turn the set off

when it is not to be used.

When the set is left

unattended and unused

for long periods of time,

unplug it from the wall

outlet as a precaution

against the possibility of

an internal malfunction

that could create a fire

hazard.
