ENGLISH

6. Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or contact hot surfaces.

7. If any extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the

appliance should be used. Cords rated for less amperage than the appliance may overheat.

8. Always unplug appliance from electrical outlet before cleaning and servicing and when not in

use. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

9. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquids.

10. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this appliance, but take it to a qualified

technician when service or repair work is required. Incorrect assembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is subsequently used.

11. Connect this appliance to a grounded outlet.

12. Do not expose this projector to direct sunlight, or use it outside.

13. Keep all ventilation openings free of any obstructions.

14. Always open the lens shutter when the projection lamp is on.

15. Do not look directly into light beam of laser pointer. The pointer produces a strong light which

could damage your eyesight.

16. The projection lamp contains mercury. Always dispose of it in a proper manner according to local
