things such as lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector case may
crack causing it to fall from its mount. This could cause serious injury to
anyone under the mount and could damage the projector.
When installing or adjusting the mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the
screws from loosening and do not use lubricant or oil and so on.
Attention
• Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.
• Do not cover the projector's air intake vent or air exhaust vent. If either of
the vents are covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.
a
• When installing the projector on a wall or on the ceiling, make sure
you use the correct tools for the installation method.
