Precautions with regard to safety
ENGLISH - 8
Important
Information
Do not mix old and new batteries.
If the batteries are inserted incorrectly, they may
explode or leak, and fire, injury or contamination of
the battery compartment and surrounding area may
result.
Remove the used batteries from the remote control
promptly.
If you leave used batteries in the remote control for
an extended period of time, it may cause liquid
leaking, abnormal internal temperature rising or
explosion.
If not using the projector for an extended period of
time, disconnect the power cord plug from the wall
outlet and remove the batteries from the remote
control.
If dust builds up on the power cord plug, the resulting
humidity may damage the insulation, which could
result in fire.
Keeping or leaving the remote control with batteries
inside may cause insulation deterioration, electrical
leakage or explosion which could result in fire.
Do not put your weight on this projector.
You could fall or the projector could break, and injury
may result.
Be especially careful not to let young children stand
or sit on the projector.
Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet
as a safety precaution before carrying out any
cleaning.
Electric shocks can result if this is not done.
If the lamp has broken, ventilate the room
immediately. Do not touch or bring your face close
to the broken pieces.
Failure to observe this may cause the user to absorb
the gas which was released when the lamp broke and
which contains nearly the same amount of mercury
as fluorescent lamps, and the broken pieces may
cause injury.
If you believe that you have absorbed the gas or that
the gas has got into your eyes or mouth, seek
medical advice immediately.
Ask your dealer about the replacement of the lamp
unit and check the inside of the projector.
Ask an Authorised Service Center to clean inside the
projector at least once a year.
If dust is left to build up inside the projector without
being cleaned out, it can result in fire or problems
with operation.
It is a good idea to clean the inside of the projector
before the season for humid weather arrives. Ask
your nearest Authorised Service Center to clean the
projector when required. Please discuss with the
Authorised Service Center regarding cleaning costs.
We are constantly making efforts to preserve and maintain a clean environment. Please take non repairable
units back to your dealer or a recycling company.
Do not subject the projector to excessive vibration
or shocks.
The projector lens need to be handled with care.
Be sure to use the accessory carrying bag when
moving the projector.
When placing the projector inside the carrying bag,
position it so that the lens is facing upward. Do not
place the projector with its adjustable legs extended
and do not put anything else in the bag other than the
projector, cables and the remote control unit.
Avoid setting up in places which are subject to
vibration or shocks.
The internal parts can be damaged, which may cause
malfunctions or accidents.
Avoid setting up in places which are subject to
sudden temperature changes, such as near an air
conditioner or lighting equipment.
The life of the lamp may be shortened or the projector
may be turned off. See “TEMP indicator” on page 40.
Do not set up the projector near high-voltage power
lines or near motors.
The projector may be subject to electromagnetic
interference.
If installing the projector to the ceiling, ask a
qualified technician to carry out all installation work.
You will need to purchase the separate installation kit
(Model No. ET-PKB50). Furthermore, all installation
work is should only be carried out by a qualified
technician.
If using this projector at high elevations
(above 1 400 m), set the HIGHLAND to ON. See
“HIGHLAND” on page 36.
Failure to observe this may result in malfunctions or
the life of the lamp or the other components may be
shortened.
