1. Safety Instructions 5
1. Safety Instructions
Your projector is designed and tested to meet the latest standards for safety of
information technology equipment. However, to ensure safe use of this product, it is
important that you follow the instructions mentioned in this manual and marked on
the product.
Warning
•To prevent shock, do not open the cabinet. There are no user serviceable
parts inside.
•Please read this user’s manual before you operate your projector. Save
this user’s manual for future reference.
•Do not look straight at the projector lens during operation. The intense
light beam may damage your eyes.
•Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
•Always open the lens shutter or remove the lens cap when the projector
lamp is on.
• In some countries, the line voltage is NOT stable. This projector is designed to
operate safely within a mains voltage between 100 to 240 volts AC, but could
fail if power cuts or surges of ±10 volts occur. In areas where the mains
voltage may fluctuate or cut out, it is recommended that you connect
your projector through a power stabilizer, surge protector or
uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
• The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool
for approximately 45 minutes prior to removing the lamp assembly for
replacement.
• Do not operate lamps beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of
lamps beyond the rated life could cause them to break on rare occasions.
• Never replace the lamp assembly or any electronic components unless the
projector is unplugged.
• Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may
fall, sustaining serious damage.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this appliance. Take it
to a qualified technician when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly can cause malfunction of the projector or electric shock when the
appliance is subsequently used.
• This product is capable of displaying inverted images for ceiling mount
installation. Use the HP L1704A ceiling mount for mounting the unit and
ensure it is securely installed.
1. Safety Instructions6
• Do not block the ventilation holes.
- Do not place this unit on a blanket, bedding or any other soft surface.

If the ventilation holes are seriously obstructed, overheating inside the unit may
result in damage.
• Do not place this unit in any of the following environments.

walls and free flow of air around the projector.
- Locations where temperatures may become excessively high, such as the inside of
a car with all windows rolled up.
- Locations where excessive humidity, dust, or cigarette smoke may contaminate
optical components, shortening the projector’s life span and darkening the image.
- Locations near fire alarms
- Locations with an ambient temperature above 35°C / 95°F
• Always place the unit on a level, horizontal surface during operation.
• Do not stand the unit on end vertically. Doing so may cause the unit to fall over,
causing injury or resulting in damage to the unit.
• Do not step on this unit or place any objects upon it. Besides probable physical
damage to the unit, doing so may result in accidents and possible injury.
