■ Power Sources

This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the

marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home consult your

appliance dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery

power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

■ Grounding or Polarization

This product may be equipped with either a polarized 2-wire AC line plug (a plug having

one blade wider than the other) or a 3-wire grounding type plug, a plug having a third

(grounding) pin.

Should read “If the 2-wire polarized plug fails to fit in the outlet, try reversing the plug”. If

the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not

defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. The 3-wire grounding type plug will 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 replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the

safety purpose of the grounding type plug.

■ Power-Cord Protection

Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched

by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs,

convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

■ Lightning

and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the

antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and

power-line surges.

■ Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this

can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

■ A product and cart combination should be moved with care.

Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the

product and cart combination to overturn.

■ Object and Liquid Entry

Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch

dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.

Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

■ Servicing

Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose

you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service

personnel.

4

BEFORE YOU USE

■ The supplied power cord and AC adapter are designed for exclusive use with this product.

Do not use them with other equipments.

■ Be sure to use the power cord applicable to your local power specifications. If the product

was sold in Japan, use the AC adapter sold with the product with 100VAC and 50 or 60

Hz.

■ Do not knot or coil the power cord or AC adapter cord or wrap them around the AC adapter.

Doing so may damage the cords, causing fire or electric shock.

■ Carry this product by holding the lower part of the main unit in both hands. Do not apply

excessive vibration or shock on the product. By doing so may damage parts causing

malfunction.

■ Do not apply vibration or shock during the projection. Do not use this product in a car or

ship where vibration or shock is applied to the product. The vibration or shock may

damage parts causing malfunction.

■ Do not use this product near high-voltage power lines or power source. The product may

receive harmful interference.

■ Do not use this product in locations subject to humidity, dust, smoke, oil smoke or steam.

Dirt may attach to the optical parts such as lens causing unclear image.

■ Do not use this product in locations exposed to extreme temperature or locations where

the temperature changes too quickly.

Use this product under the following environmental conditions:

Temperature: 5℃ ~ 35℃ Humidity: less than 85%(No condensation)

■ When the product is suddenly brought into a warm place from a cold place or when the

room temperature is quickly raised, condensation may occur to the surface of the lens

causing unclear image. Wait until the condensation is completely gone and the image

becomes clear.

■ Do not touch lens. It may leave fingerprint which results in blurred image.

■ Depending on the type of the USB flash drive, the operation may not be guaranteed.

■ Transfer the data from the USB flash drive onto a device such as a computer to save a

backup copy. Malfunction of the product or repairs to it may cause the data saved in the

USB flash drive to be deleted.

■ Important notes when connecting HDMI cable.

• Use HIGH SPEED HDMI cable with HDMI logo.

HDMI cable that is not compliant with HDMI standard may not be used.

• Do not apply excessive force to the HDMI terminal while the cable is connected to the

HDMI terminal. It could damage the HDMI terminal, leading to a malfunction.

7

■ Follow the guidelines below to prevent the product from dropping or overturning.

• Use the product on a stable base, desk, or table. Do not place the product on an

unstable base or slanted location.

• Place or wire the product to prevent the AC adapter cord or video cable from pulling.

■ Luminescent spot and black spot

There may be some pixels that do not properly operate due to the use of image pick-up

device made-up of many pixels. Though luminescent or black spots may be found on the

screen, it is a phenomenon peculiar to the image pick-up device and is not a malfunction.

■ There may be some flickering on the screen when shooting a pattern image with gradual

changes in brightness. It is a phenomenon peculiar to the image pick-up device and is not

a malfunction.

This product is not designed to display such kind of images.

■ There may be some image distortion for a moment when the output resolution of the

connected device is changed while the image is projected. This is because the product

automatically adjusts the projection settings according to the input signal. It is not a

malfunction.

■ Lifetime of the parts

Using this product in high temperature or in locations where there are a lot of dusts or

smoke or using this product continuously for a long period of time for business purpose

may deteriorate the product performance or quality even less than a year of usage, due to

the lifetime of its parts. To purchase replacement parts or repair, contact the dealer from
