■ Do not use this product near high-voltage power lines or power source. The product may receive

harmful interference.

■ Do not use this product in locations subject to humidity, dust, smoke, oil smoke or steam. Dirt may

attach to the optical parts, such as the lens, causing reduced image quality.

■ Do not use this product in locations exposed to extreme temperature or locations where the

temperature changes too quickly. Use this product under the following environmental conditions: Temperature：5℃～ 35℃ Humidity： less than 85％(No condensation)

■ When the product is suddenly brought into a warm place from a cold place or when the room

temperature is quickly raised, condensation may occur to the surface of the lens causing reduced image quality. Wait until the condensation is completely gone and the image becomes clear.

■ Do not touch the lens. It may leave fingerprint marks which can result in a blurred image.

■ Important notes when connecting an HDMI cable.

• Use a HIGH SPEED HDMI cable with the HDMI logo.

HDMI cables that are not compliant with HDMI standards should not be used.

・Do not apply excessive force to the HDMI terminal while the cable is connected as it could

damage the HDMI terminal, leading to a malfunction.

■ Follow the guidelines below to prevent the product from dropping or overturning.

• Use the product on a stable base, desk, or table. Do not place the product on an unstable base or

sloping location.

• Secure and tidy all cables to prevent accidentally pulling the projector off any surface.

■ Luminescent spot and black spot

There may be some pixels that do not operate properly due to the use of an image pick-up device made-up of many pixels. Though luminescent or black spots may be found on the screen, it is a phenomenon peculiar to the image pick-up device and is not a malfunction.

■ There may be some flickering on the screen when shooting a pattern image with gradual changes

in brightness. It is a phenomenon peculiar to the image pick-up device and is not a malfunction. This product is not designed to display such kind of images.

■ There may be some image distortion for a moment when the output resolution of the connected

device is changed while the image is projected. This is because the product automatically adjusts the projection settings according to the input signal. It is not a malfunction.

■ Lifetime of the parts

Avoid using the projector in severe conditions such as high temperature, dusty or smoky environments as well as long-continuous use in excess of eight hours.
