Important Operating Considerations for Safety

• Place the projector in a horizontal position no greater than 15 degrees off axis.

• Locate the projector in a well-ventilated area without any obstructions to intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or other soft covering that may block the vents.

• Locate the projector at least 4' (1.2 m) away from any heating or cooling vents.

• Use only InFocus-approved ceiling mounts.

• Only InFocus lamps are tested and certified for use in this projector. InFocus is not liable for the performance, safety or certification of any other lamps. The use of other lamps violates the projector warranty and voids all certification marks on this projector.

• Use only the power cord provided. A surge-protected power strip is recommended.

• Refer to this guide for proper startup and shutdown procedures.

• Warn ing: Hg – Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.

• In the unlikely event of a lamp rupture, particles may exit through the projector side vents. When the projector is turned on, keep people, food, and drinks out of the "keep out" area under and around the pro jector, as indicated by the "X" areas below.
