Caution
• Always open the lens shutter or remove the lens cap when the projec-
tor lamp is on.
• Do not look straight at the projector lens during operation. The intense
light beam may damage your eyes.

designed to operate safely within a bandwidth of 110 to 240 volts, but
could fail if power cuts or surges of ±10 volts occur. In these high-risk
areas, it is recommended to install a power stabilizer unit to be used in
conjuction with this projector.
