Precautions with regard to safety (continued)
CAUTION
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.
• Using the projector under such conditions may result in fire or electric shocks.
When disconnecting the power cord, hold the plug, not the cord.
• If the power cord itself is pulled, the cord will become damaged, and fire, short-circuits or serious
electric shocks may result.
Always disconnect all cables before moving the projector.
• Moving the projector with cables still attached can damage the cables, which could cause fire or
electric shocks to occur.
Do not place any heavy objects on top of the projector.
• 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 battery or place it into
water or fire.
• Failure to observe this may cause the battery to overheat, leak, explode or catch fire, and burns or other
injury may result.
When inserting the battery, make sure the polarities (+ and -) are
correct.
• If the battery is inserted incorrectly, it may explode or leak, and fire, injury or contamination of the
battery compartment and surrounding area may result.
Use only the specified battery.
• If an incorrect battery is used, it may explode or leak, and fire, injury or contamination of the battery
compartment and surrounding area may result close to this port, otherwise burns or damage could
result.
Do not bring your hands or other objects close to the air outlet port.
• Heated air comes out of the air outlet port. Do not bring your hands or face, or objects which cannot
withstand heat.
Do not use the old lamp unit.
• The lamp section may break.
Replacement of the lamp unit should only be carried out after it has
completely cooled off, otherwise burns may result.
Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet as a safety
precaution before carrying out any cleaning.
• Electric shocks can result if this is not done.
If the lamp has broken, ventilate the room immediately. Do not touch
or bring your face close to the broken pieces.
• Failure to observe this may cause the user to absorb the gas which was released when the lamp broke
and which contains nearly the same amount of mercury as fluorescent lamps, and the broken pieces
may cause injury.
• If you believe that you have absorbed the gas or that the gas has got into your eyes or mouth, seek
medical advice immediately.
• Ask your dealer to replace the lamp unit and check the inside of the projector.
