  • Page 5: Important Safeguards

    Important Information Important Safeguards These safety instructions are to ensure the long life of your projector and to prevent fire and shock. Please read them carefully and heed all warnings. Installation • Do not place the projector in the following conditions: - on an unstable cart, stand, or table. - near water, baths, or damp rooms. - in direct sunlight, near heaters, or heat radiating appliances. - in a dusty, smoky or steamy environment. - on a sheet of paper or cloth, rugs or carpets. • If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling: - Do not attempt to install the projector yourself. - The projector must be installed by qualified technicians in order to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of bodily injury. - In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the installation must be in accordance with any local building codes. - Please consult your dealer for more information. WARNING • Do not cover the lens with the lens cap or equivalent while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to melting of the cap due to the heat emitted from the light output. • Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of the projector lens. Doing so could lead to the object melting from the heat that is emitted from the light output. Do not tilt the projector to the left or right. Doing so may result in malfunction. There is no limit on the tilt angle upward or downward. Select an appropriate option for [FAN MODE] according to the installation angle.
  • Page 6 Important Information Fire and Shock Precautions • Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow at least 4 inches (10cm) of space between your projector and a wall. • Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the left front (when seen from the front) as it can become heated while the projector is turned on and immediately after the projector is turned off. Parts of the projector may become tem- porarily heated if the projector is turned off with the Power button or if the AC power supply is disconnected during normal projector operation. Use caution when picking up the projector. • Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your projector. Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that might fall into your projector. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your projector. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed by a qualified service personnel. • Do not place any objects on top of the projector. • Do not touch the power plug during a thunderstorm. Doing so can cause electrical shock or fire. • The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-240V AC 50/60 Hz. Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your projector. • Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result. • Keep any items (magnifying glass etc.) out of the light path of the projector. The light path being projected from the lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause an unpredictable outcome such as a fire or injury to the eyes. • Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of a projector exhaust vent. Doing so could lead to the object melting or getting your hands burned from the heat that is emitted from the exhaust. • Handle the power cord carefully. A damaged or frayed power cord can cause electric shock or fire. - Do not use any power cord other than the one supplied with the projector. - Do not bend or tug the power cord excessively.

  • Page 7: Lamp Replacement

    Important Information CAUTION • Do not use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses such as gripping the tilt-foot or hanging on the wall can cause damage to the projector. • Do not send the projector in the soft case by parcel delivery service or cargo shipment. The projector inside the soft case could be damaged. • Select [HIGH] in Fan mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days. (From the menu, select [SETUP] → [OPTIONS(1)] → [FAN MODE] → [MODE] → [HIGH].) • Before using Direct Power Off, be sure to allow at least 20 minutes immediately after turning on the projector and starting to display an image. • Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet or projector when the projector is powered on. Doing so can cause damage to the AC IN connector of the projector and (or) the prong plug of the power cable. To turn off the AC power supply when the projector is powered on, use a power strip equipped with a switch and a breaker. • Do not turn off the AC power for 60 seconds after the lamp is turned on and while the Power indicator is blinking blue. Doing so could cause premature lamp failure. Caution on Handling the Optional Lens When shipping the projector with the lens, remove the lens before shipping the projector. Always attach the dust cap to the lens whenever it is not mounted on the projector. The lens and the lens shift mechanism may encounter damage caused by improper handling during transportation. Do not hold the lens part when carrying the projector. Doing so could cause the Focus ring to rotate, resulting in accidental dropping of the projector. Remote Control Precautions • Handle the remote control carefully. • If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. • Avoid excessive heat and humidity.
  • Page 8 Important Information A Lamp Characteristic The projector has a high-pressure mercury lamp as a light source. A lamp has a characteristic that its brightness gradually decreases with age. Also repeatedly turning the lamp on and off will increase the possibility of its lower brightness. CAUTION: • DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off and then disconnect the power cord. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool before handling. • When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted projector, make sure that no one is under the projector. Glass fragments could fall if the lamp has been burned out. About High Altitude mode • Set [FAN MODE] to [HIGH ALTITUDE] when using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher. Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher without setting to [HIGH ALTITUDE] can cause the projector to overheat and the protector could shut down. If this happens, wait a couple minutes and turn on the projector. • Using the projector at altitudes less than approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters and setting to [HIGH ALTITUDE] can cause the lamp to overcool, causing the image to flicker. Switch [FAN MODE] to [AUTO]. • Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher can shorten the life of optical com- ponents such as the lamp. About Copyright of original projected pictures: Please note that using this projector for the purpose of commercial gain or the attraction of public attention in a venue such as a coffee shop or hotel and employing compression or expansion of the screen image with the following func- tions may raise concern about the infringement of copyrights which are protected by copyright law.

Appendix Ceiling/front projector 0.3H 0.3H 0.1H 0.1H 0.1V Height of projected image 0.6V Width of projected image Ex.: When projecting on a 150" screen This section is illustrated in the example for PJ X6180N • The following description can apply to the PJ WX6170N (16:10). To calculate, use screen sizes and the maximum value for the lens shift for PJ WX6170N. According to the tables of screen sizes and dimensions (→ page 179), H = 323.1 cm, V = 201.9 cm. Adjustment range in the vertical direction: The projected image can be moved upwards 0.6 × 201.9 cm = 121 cm, downwards 0.1 × 201.9 cm = 20 cm (when the lens is at the center position). For a ceiling/front installation, the above figures are inverted. Adjustment range in the horizontal direction: The projected image can be moved to the left 0.3 × 323.1 cm = 97 cm, to the right 0.3 × 323.1 cm = 97 cm. * Figures differ by several % because the calculation is approximate.
