Precautions for use

Intended use of the product

The product is intended to project still/moving image signals from video equipment and computers onto a screen.

Cautions when transporting

f When transporting the projector, handle it with care and avoid excessive vibration and impacts. Doing so may
damage the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
f Do not transport the projector with the adjustable feet extended. Doing so may damage the adjustable feet.
f Do not move or transport the projector with the wireless module (Model No.: AJ-WM50
optional accessories attached. Doing so may damage the wireless module.

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 Locations near the sea or areas affected by corrosive gas: Corrosion may damage internal components or
cause the projector to malfunction.
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 exhaust vent 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 lamp, or result in deformation of the outer case due to heat, which may cause malfunctions.
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.
rAsk a qualified technician or your dealer for the installation work such as installing to
a ceiling.
To ensure projector performance and safety, ask a qualified technician or your dealer when installing to a ceiling
or in a high place.
rFocus adjustment
The projection lens is thermally affected by the light from the light source, making the focus unstable in the period
just after switching on the power. It is recommended that the images be projected continuously for at least 30
minutes before the focus is adjusted.
rDo not install the projector at elevations of 2 700 m (8 858') or higher above sea level.
r Do not use the projector in a location that the ambient temperature exceeds 40 °C (104 °F).
Using the projector in a location that the altitude is too high or the ambient temperature is too high may shorten
the life of the components or result in malfunctions.
rDo not tilt the projector or place it on its side.
Do not tilt the projector body more than approximately ±30° vertically or ±15° horizontally. Over tilting may result in
shortening the life of the components.
The angle that can be corrected through [POSITION] menu → [SCREEN ADJUSTMENT] → [KEYSTONE] is
within ±15°. If the vertical tilt of the projector with respect to the screen surface exceeds 15°, vertical trapezoidal
distortion may not be corrected.
