![Precautions for useCautions when transporting fWhen transporting the projector, hold it securely by its bottom and avoid excessive vibration and impacts. Doing so may damage the internal parts and result in malfunctions. fDo not transport the projector with the adjustable feet extended. Doing so may damage the adjustable feet.Cautions when installing rDo not set up the projector outdoors. fThe projector is designed for indoor use only. rDo not use under the following conditions. fPlaces where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Doing so may damage the internal parts and result in malfunctions. fLocations near the sea or areas affected by corrosive gas: Corrosion may damage internal components or cause the projector to malfunction. fNear the exhaust of an air conditioner: Depending on the conditions of use, the screen may uctuate in rare cases due to the heated air from the air exhaust port 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. fPlaces with sharp temperature uctuations such as near lights (studio lamp): Doing so may shorten the life of the lamp, or result in deformation of the outer case due to heat, which may cause malfunctions. The operating environment temperature of the projector should be between 0 °C (32 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F)*1 when using it at elevations lower than 1 400 m (4 593') above sea level, and between 0 °C (32 °F) and 30 °C (86 °F) when using it at high altitudes (between 1 400 m (4 593') and 2 700 m (8 858') above sea level).*1 When the operating environment temperature of the projector is between 35 °C (95°F) and 40 °C (104 °F), the lamp mode will change to [ECO] automatically. fNear high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector. rBe sure to ask a specialized technician when installing the product to a ceiling.This requires an optional ceiling mount bracket. Be sure to use the Projector Mount Bracket together with the ceiling mount bracket for high ceilings or low ceilings.Model No.: ① ET-PKL100H (for high ceilings), ET-PKV400B (Projector Mount Bracket) ② ET-PKL100S (for low ceilings), ET-PKV400B (Projector Mount Bracket) rFocus adjustmentThe 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 are projected continuously for at least 30 minutes before the focus is adjusted. rWhen using the projector in the elevation of below 1 400 m (4 593'), make sure [HIGH ALTITUDE MODE] is set to [OFF].Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions. rWhen using the projector in the elevation of above 1 400 m (4 593') and below 2 000 m (6 562'), make sure [HIGH ALTITUDE MODE] is set to [HIGH1].Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions. rWhen using the projector in the elevation of above 2 000 m (6 562') and below 2 700 m (8 858'), make sure [HIGH ALTITUDE MODE] is set to [HIGH2].Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions. rDo not install the projector at elevations of 2 700 m (8 858') or higher above sea level.Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions. rDo not tilt the projector or place it on its side.Do not tilt the projector body more than approximately ±40 degrees vertically or ±15 degrees horizontally. Over tilting may result in shortening the life of the components.
