RAIN OR MOISTURE.
●This projector produces intense light from the projection lens. Do not stare directly into the lens as possible.
Eye damage could result. Be especially careful that children do not stare directly into the beam.
●This projector should be set in the way indicated. If not, it may result in a fire hazard.

cabinet for allowing air circulation and cooling the projector.
Minimum distance should be taken. If the projector is to be built
into a compartment or similarly enclosed, the minimum distances
must be maintained. Do not cover the ventilation slot on the

The projector may fall, causing serious injury to a child or
adult, and serious damage to the projector. Use only with a
cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with
the projector. Wall or shelf mounting should follow the
manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting kit
approved by the manufacturers.
An appliance and cart combination should

cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the projector.
This projector should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supplied, consult your authorized dealer or

restore the projector to normal operation.
e. If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged.
f. When the projector exhibits a distinct change in
performance-this indicates a need for service.
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
