SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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 it could
possibly damage your eyes. Be especially careful that children do not stare directly into the beam.
● This projector should be installed as shown. 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 build-up can reduce the
service life of your projector, and can also be dangerous.
● Do not put any flammable object or spray can near the projector, hot air is exhausted from the ventilation
holes.
● 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 / LASER POINTER INDICATOR lights red to
indicate laser emission). Do not look into the Laser Light Window or shine the laser beam on yourself or other
people. Eye damage may result.
● If the projector is not to be used for an extended time, unplug the projector from the power outlet.
