rDo not use the projector in a location that the ambient temperature exceeds 50 °C
(122 °F).
Using the projector in a location that the altitude is too high or the ambient temperature is too high may reduce the
life of the components or result in malfunctions.
The upper limit of the operating environment temperature differs depending on the altitude or the setting of the

Cautions when setting up the projector
f
Install the projector in a place or with a mount that can sufficiently tolerate the weight. The position of the
projected image may shift if the strength is not sufficient.
f
Use the adjustable feet only for the floor standing installation and for adjusting the angle. Using them for other
purposes may damage the projector.
purposes may damage the projector.
f
The adjustable feet can be removed if not needed in the installation. However, do not use the screw holes
where the adjustable feet were removed to fix the projector to a mount.
Also, do not insert any screws other than the eyebolts for the installation work into the screw holes of the

Precautions for use
Cautions when transporting
f Transport the projector with four or more people. Failure to do so may drop the projector, which may result in
damage or deformation of the projector, or injury.
f
When transporting the projector, hold it securely by its front side and back side handles and avoid excessive
vibration and impacts. Failure to do so may cause a failure due to the damaged internal components.

f
Do not transport the projector with the adjustable feet extended. Doing so may damage the adjustable feet.
Cautions when installing
rDo not set up the projector outdoors.
The projector is designed for indoor use only.
rDo not set up the projector in the following locations.
f
Places where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Doing so may cause damage to internal
components or malfunction.

f
Location close to sea or where corrosive gas may occur: The projector may fall due to corrosion. Also, failure to
do so may shorten the life of the components and result in malfunctions.
do so may shorten the life of the components and result in malfunctions.
f
Near the exhaust of an air conditioner: Depending on the conditions of use, the screen may fluctuate in rare
cases due to the heated air from the air exhaust port or the hot 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.

f
Places with sharp temperature fluctuations such as near lights (studio lamps): Doing so may shorten the life of
the light source, or result in deformation of the projector due to heat, which may cause malfunctions.
Follow the operating environment temperature of the projector.

Follow the operating environment temperature of the projector.
f
Near high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector.
f
Places where there is high-power laser equipment: Directing a laser beam onto the projection lens surface
causes damage to the DLP chips.

installation.
rThe projector may not work properly due to strong radio wave from the broadcast
station or the radio.
If there is any facility or equipment which outputs strong radio waves near the installation location, install the
projector at a location sufficiently far from the source of the radio waves. Or, wrap the LAN cable connected to the
<DIGITAL LINK/LAN> terminal using a piece of metal foil or a metal pipe which is grounded at both ends.
rFocus adjustment
The high clarity projection lens is thermally affected by the light from the light source, making the focus unstable in
