Page 18: Precautions For Use
Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use Precautions for use Intended use of the product The purpose of the projector is to project a video signal from imaging equipment or a computer on a screen or other surface as a still image or moving image. Cautions when transporting f Transport the projector with two or more people.
Page 19: Cautions When Setting Up The Projector
Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use rFocus adjustment The high clarity 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. When using the Zoom Lens (Model No.: ET-D3LEW200) or the Fixed-focus Lens (Model No.: ET-D3LEU100), it is recommended to perform the focus adjustment after at least an hour has elapsed with an image displayed.
Page 20 Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use f Use a torque screwdriver or Allen torque wrench to tighten the fixing screws to their specified tightening torques. Do not use electric screwdrivers or impact screwdrivers. For the screws to fix the projector, use commercially available ISO 898-1 standard screws (made of carbon steel or alloy steel).
