• 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.

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

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

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