Precautions with regard to safety

WARNINGS

If you notice smoke, strange smells or noise coming from the projector, disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet. Do not continue to use the projector in such cases, otherwise fire or electric shocks could result. Check that no more smoke is coming out, and then contact an Authorized Service Center for repairs. Do not attempt to repair the projector yourself, as this can be dangerous. Do not install this projector in a place which is not strong enough to take the full weight of the projector. If the installation location is not strong enough, it may fall down or tip over, and severe injury or damage could result. Installation work (such as ceiling suspension) should only be carried out by a qualified technician. If installation is not carried out correctly, there is the danger that injury or electric shocks may occur. Do not use other than an authorized ceiling mount bracket. If foreign objects or water get inside the projector, or if the projector is dropped or the cabinet is broken, disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet. Continued use of the projector in this condition may result in fire or electric shocks. Contact an Authorized Service Center for repairs. The wall outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible. Unplug the power plug from the wall outlet immediately when problem occurred. Do not overload the wall outlet. If the power supply is overloaded (for example, by using too many adapters), overheating may occur and fire may result. Never attempt to modify or disassemble the projector. High voltages can cause fire or electric shocks. For any inspection, adjustment and repair work, please contact an Authorized Service Center. Clean the power plug regularly to prevent it from becoming covered in dust. If dust builds up on the power plug, the resulting humidity can damage the insulation, which could result in fire. Pull the power plug out from the wall outlet and wipe it with a dry cloth. If not using the projector for an extended period of time, pull the power plug out from the wall outlet. Do not handle the power plug with wet hands. Failure to observe this may result in electric shocks. Insert the power plug securely into the wall outlet.
