PROJECTOR Installation Notice
• Allow at least a 50cm clearance around the exhaust vents.
• Make sure intake vents do not recycle hot air from the exhaust vent.
• When operating the PROJECTOR in an enclosed space, make sure that the surrounding
air temperature within the enclosure does not exceed operating temperature while the
PROJECTOR is running, and the air intake and exhaust vents are unobstructed.
• All enclosures should pass a certified thermal evaluation to make sure that the
PROJECTOR does not recycle exhaust air, as this may cause the device to shut down
even if the enclosure temperature is with the acceptable operating temperature range.
• If the temperature of the PROJECTOR feels “hot” to the touch, discontinue use immediately.
Caution: Avoid using the PROJECTOR in dusty environments.
Power Safety
• Use the supplied adapter ONLY.
• The adapter cable should be unencumbered. Therefore, do not place anything on the
adapter cable and place it where it will not be in the way of foot traffic.
• When not in use for long periods of time, please remove the battery from the remote
control.
