WARNING If you notice smoke, strange smells or noise coming from the projector, disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet. B Do not continue to use the projector in such cases, otherwise fire or electric shocks could result. B Check that no more smoke is coming out, and then contact an Authorized Service Center for repairs. B Do not attempt to repair the projector yourself, as this can be dangerous.
Do not do anything that might damage the power cord or the power cord plug. B Do not damage the power cord, make any modifications to it, place it near any hot objects, bend it excessively, twist it, pull it, place heavy objects on top of it or wrap it into a bundle. B If the power cord lead is used while damaged, electric shocks, shortcircuits or fire may result. B Ask an Authorized Service Center to carry out any repairs to the power cord that might be necessary.
Caution Do not cover the air inlet port or the air outlet port. B Doing so may cause the projector to overheat, which can cause fire or damage to the projector. B Do not place the projector in narrow, badly ventilated places such as closets or bookshelves. Do not set up the projector in humid or dusty places or in places where the projector may come into contact with smoke or steam. B Using the projector under such conditions may result in fire or electric shocks.
Do not place any heavy objects on top of the projector. B Failure to observe this may cause the projector to become unbalanced and fall, which could result in damage or injury. Do not short-circuit, heat or disassemble the batteries or place them into water or fire. B Failure to observe this may cause the batteries to overheat, leak, explode or catch fire, and burns or other injury may result. When inserting the batteries, make sure the polarities (+ and -) are correct.
Accessories Check that all of the accessories shown below have been included with your projector. Remote control unit (N2QAEA000022 x1) RGB AAA batteries for remote control unit (x2) RGB signal cable [3.0 m (9´10˝), K1HB15FA0001 x1] Power cord (K2CG3FZ00008 x 1) Cable cover (TXFKR01VJX7 x1) VIDEO A ALL SET ENGLISH-9 Preparation NOTICE: B This product has a High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamp that contains a small amount of mercury.

Before use Caution when moving the projector Be sure to attach the lens cover before moving the projector. The projection lens is extremely susceptible to vibration and shocks. Be careful not to subject it to excessive vibration and shock when moving the projector. Cautions regarding setting-up Avoid setting up in places which are subject to vibration or shocks. The internal parts can be damaged, which may cause malfunctions or accidents.
In order to get the best picture quality Draw curtains or blinds over any windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen. Do not touch the surfaces of the lens with your bare hands. If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the screen. Moreover, when not using the projector, retract the lens and then cover it with the lens cover.

Projection dimensions calculation methods If the screen size (diagonal) is SD (m), then the following formula is used to calculate the projection distance for the wide lens position (LW) and the projection distance for the telephoto lens position (LT). SH 4:3 SD LW/LT SW Minimum Projection Distance LW=0.0407xSD/0.0254-0.080 Maximum Projection Distance LT=0.0538xSD/0.0254-0.0774 For 16:9 aspect ratios, the following formula can be used to calculate the projection distance.
