The projector is designed for indoor use only.
rr
Do not set up the projector in the following locations.
rf
Places where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Doing so may cause damage to internal parts or malfunction.
rf
Near the exhaust of an air conditioner: Depending on the conditions of use, the screen may uctuate in rare cases due to the hot air from
the air exhaust port or the heated or cooled air. 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.
rf
Near lights (studio lamps, etc.) and other locations of great temperature uctuation (“Operating environment” (
x
page 129)): Doing so may
shorten the life of the lamp or result in deformation of the outer case and malfunctions.
rf
Near high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector.
rf
Place where there is high-power laser equipment: Directing a laser beam onto the lens surface causes damage to the DLP chips.
rr

If the product is to be installed hanging from the ceiling, purchase an optional Ceiling Mount Attachment.
Model No.: ET-PKD56H (for high ceilings), ET-PKD55S (for low ceilings)
rr
Lens focus
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. Wait at least 30 minutes with the image projected before adjusting the lens focus.
rr
Make sure to set [HIGH ALTITUDE MODE] to [ON] when using the projector at elevations of
1 400 m (4 593 ft) or higher and lower than 2 700 m (8 858 ft) above sea level.
Doing so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
rr
Make sure to set [HIGH ALTITUDE MODE] to [OFF] when using the projector at elevations
lower than 1 400 m (4 593 ft) above sea level.
Doing so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
rr
Do not install the projector at elevations of 2 700 m (8 858 ft) or higher above sea level.
Doing so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
rr
Do not use the projector tilted to the right or left
Using the projector at a vertical angle that exceeds 15° may reduce product life or result in malfunction.
rr
When installing and using the projector at an angle that exceeds 30°vertically, set [COOLING
CONDITION] (
