Introduction

Usage Guidelines

• Do not look directly into the projection lens when the projector

is turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.

• Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air flow

can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must
wait a minute before attempting to turn it back on.

• Handle the projector as you would any product with glass

components. Be especially careful not to drop it.

• Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold

for extended periods of time. If this happens, allow it to reach
room temperature before use.

• Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case.

Part numbers for these cases are listed on page 37.
