Caution
• Disconnect the cables connected to the projector. Carrying the
projector with the cables attached may cause an accident.
• Retract the adjustable feet before moving the projector.
Leaving the feet extended may cause damage.
• Do not subject the projector to strong impacts or vibrations.
• Do not strike the projector or subject it to impact. Doing so
may cause a malfunction.
• Do not install the projector standing on one side or in other
unsteady positions. The projector may be damaged if it tips
over.
• Locations with excessive humidity, dust, oily smoke or
tobacco smoke
Adhesion to the lens, mirrors or other optical parts may
reduce image quality.
In addition, oil can degrade the plastic, which could result in a
ceiling-mounted projector falling from its mounting.
• Near high-voltage power lines or sources of electrical power
This may cause malfunction.
• On soft surfaces such as carpets or cushioned mats
• Locations with excessive temperature or humidity
• Locations subject to vibration or impact
• Near heat or smoke detectors
• Near the ocean, or near air conditioner vents
• Locations where corrosive gases occur, such as sulfur
gas from hot springs
This may damage the projector. Acceptable ranges for
operating and
storage temperature and humidity are as follows.
* Operating temperature and humidity applies to when the
projector is projecting or in standby mode.
Operating temperature Operating humidity Storage temperature
0°C (32°F) – 40°C (104°F)
