manual again, check operations and cable connections and try
the solutions in the “Troubleshooting” section in the end of
this booklet. If the problem still persists, contact the dealer
where you purchased the projector or the service center.
Safety Precaution
WARNING : TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE
TO 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.
– Install the projector in a proper position. If not, it may
result in a fire hazard.
– Provide appropriate space on the top, sides and rear of the
projector cabinet for allowing air circulation and cooling the
projector. Minimum clearance must be maintained. 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 projector. Heat buildup can reduce the service life of your projector, and can
also be dangerous.
– The remote control, supplied to this projector, emits the
laser beam as the Laser pointer function from laser light
window while pressing the LASER button (for 1 minute /
Signal Emission indicator lights red to indicate laser
emission). Do not look into the laser light window or shine
the laser beam on a mirror, yourself or other people. Eye
