obstructions to intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the projec-

tor on a tablecloth or other soft covering that may block the

the area and handling the ruptured lamp. This product has a

lamp which contains a very small amount of mercury. Dispose

of it as required by local, state or federal ordinances and regula-

tions. For more information see www.eiae.org.

life over the life of the projector. Failure to follow these instruc-

tions may affect the warranty. For complete details of the war-

ranty, see the Warranty section at the end of this user's guide.
