Precautions for use
Cautions when transporting
f If you purchased the projector with the standard zoom lens, remove the lens cushion before use, and store it for
the future use. When transporting the projector, move the lens position to the home position and attach the lens
cushion.
If you purchased the projector with the lens sold separately, remove the lens hole cover before use, and store
it for the future use. When transporting the projector, move the lens position to the home position, remove the
projection lens, and then attach the lens hole cover.
For the steps to move the lens position to the home position, refer to “Setting the lens position” (x page 63).

f When transporting the projector, hold it securely by its bottom and avoid excessive vibration and impacts. They
may damage the internal components and result in malfunctions.
f Do not transport the projector with the adjustable feet extended. Doing so may damage the adjustable feet.
Cautions when installing
rAfter attaching the projection lens, be sure to attach the lens mount cover.
Otherwise dust will accumulate inside and may cause malfunctions.
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, it 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 uctuate 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 uctuations such as near lights (studio lamps): Doing so may shorten the life of
the lamp, or result in deformation of the outer case due to heat, which may cause malfunctions.
The operating environment temperature of the projector should be between 0 °C (32 °F) and 45 °C (113 °F)
when using it at elevations lower than 1 400 m (4 593') above sea level, and between 0 °C (32 °F) and 40 °C
(104 °F) when using it at high altitudes (between 1 400 m (4 593') and 2 700 m (8 858') above sea level).
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.
rBe sure to ask a specialized technician or your dealer when installing the projector on
a ceiling.
The optional Ceiling Mount Bracket is required.
