Information ON USE/INSTALLATION „
Do not put your weight on this projector.
You could fall or the projector could break, and injury
will result.
Be especially careful not to let young children stand z
or sit on the projector.
Do not place the projector in extremely hot
locations.
Doing so will cause the outer casing or internal
components to deteriorate, or result in fire.
Take particular care in locations exposed to direct z
sunlight or near stoves.
Always disconnect all cables before moving
the projector.
Moving the projector with cables still attached can
damage the cables, which will cause fire or electric
shocks to occur.
ACCESSORIES „
Do not use the old lamp unit.
If used, it could cause lamp explosion.
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 will 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 will 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 replacing the lamp unit and check
the inside of the projector.
Do not place your hands in the openings
beside the optical lens, while shifting the lens.
Failure to observe this could cause injury.
Do not use projectors with the adjustable
feet or lens unit cover removed.
If this not observed, the sets will not operate correctly
or accidents will result.
Cautions when transporting
When transporting the projector or carrying it around,
make sure that the lens cap is always in place, and
remove the lens. Please take care to keep them away
from vibration and impacts, both the projector and
the lens are precision-made and easily susceptible to
damage.
When transporting the projector, the adjuster legs must
be housed and do not hold them. Please securely hold
only its bottom and none of its other parts or surfaces
as this will result in malfunctions.
Cautions when installing
Do not use under the following „
conditions.
Do not set up the projector outdoors. z
The projector is designed for indoor use only.
Avoid setting up in places which are subject to z
vibration or shocks.
If the projector is installed in a place where
vibrations are transmitted or mounted in a car or a
vessel, vibrations or impacts will result in damage to
the internal parts, causing failure. Install the product
in a place free from vibrations and impacts.
Avoid setting up in places which are subject to z
sudden temperature changes, such as near an
air conditioner or lighting equipment.
Failure to observe this will result in malfunctions or
the lamp life will be shortened.
See “TEMP indicator” on page 25.
Avoid setting up in places which are near high- z
voltage power lines or near motors.
The product will be exposed to interference if it is
installed in the vicinity of high-voltage electrical
power lines or power sources.
Do not install the projector at elevations higher z
than 2 700 m (8 858 ft) above sea level.
If using this projector at high elevations 1 400 -
2 700 m (4 593 - 8 858 ft) above sea level, set the
HIGH ALTITUDE MODE to ON.
Failure to observe this will result in malfunctions
or the lamp life or life of other components will be
shortened.
Be sure to ask a specialized „
technician when installing the
product to a ceiling.
If the product is to be installed hanging from the ceiling,
purchase an optional hanging attachment (For high
ceilings: Model No. ET-PKE1000S, For low ceilings:
Model No. ET-PKE2000). Please call a specialized
technician or contact an Authorized Service Center for
installation.
Be sure to put on the lens unit cover „
after installing the projection lens.
If this not done, dust will collect inside the projector and
problems with the projector can result.
Lens Focus „
Do not adjust the lens focus in the initial period after
switching the projector on. The high clarity projector
lens is thermally affected by the light from the light
source, making the focus unstable in the period just
after switching on. Please allow a warm-up time before
adjusting the lens focus.
