Warning
• Do not look into the projector's lens during projection. Doing so could
damage your eyes. Take particular care when there are children present.
• During projection, do not block the light from the projector with a book and
so on. If the light from the projector is blocked, the area on which the light
shines becomes hot which could cause melting, burning, or starting a fire.
Also, the lens may get hot due to the reflected light which could cause the
projector to malfunction. To stop projection, use the A/V Mute function or
turn off the projector.
• A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used as the projector's light
source. If the lamp is subjected to vibrations, shocks, or if it is used for an
overly extended length of time, the lamp may break or it may not turn on. If
the lamp explodes, gases may escape and small fragments of glass may be
scattered which could cause an injury. Be sure to observe the instructions
below.
- Do not disassemble or damage the lamp or subject it to any impacts.
- Do not bring your face close to the projector while it is in use.
- Particular care should be taken when the projector is installed to a ceiling,
as small pieces of glass may fall down when the lamp cover is removed.
(When cleaning the projector or replacing the lamp yourself, be very careful
not to allow such pieces of glass to get into the eyes or mouth.)
If the lamp breaks, ventilate the area immediately, and contact a doctor if any
fragments of broken glass are inhaled or get into the eyes or mouth.
Turning Off the Projector
Turn off this product when it is not in use to prolong the life of the
