- Do not use if tilted at an angle of more than 10 degrees left to right, nor at angle of more than 15
degrees front to back.
3. Do not store the projector on end vertically. Doing so may cause the projector to fall over, causing injury or resulting in damage.
4. Do not place the projector in any of the following environments:
- Space that is poorly ventilated or confined. Allow at least 50 cm clearance from walls and free
flow of air around the projector.
- Locations where temperatures may become excessively high, such as the inside of a car with all
windows closed.
- Locations where excessive humidity, dust, or cigarette smoke may contaminate optical
components, shorten the projector’s lifespan and darken the screen.
- Locations near fire alarms.
- Locations with conditions beyond those listed in "Projector specifications".
5. Do not block the vents while the projector is on (even in standby mode).
- Do not cover the projector with any item.
- Do not place the projector on a blanket, bedding or any other soft surface.
6. In areas where the mains power supply voltage may fluctuate by ±10 volts, it is recommended that you connect the projector through a power stabilizer, surge protector or uninterruptible power supply (UPS) as appropriate to your situation.
7. Do not step on the projector or place any objects upon it.

Important safety instructions
8. Do not place liquids near or on the projector. Liquids spilled into the projector will void your warranty. If the projector does become wet, disconnect it from the power outlet and
contact to have the projector repaired.
9. Do not look straight into the projector lens during operation. It may harm your sight.
RG2 IEC 62471-5:2015
10. Do not operate the projector lamp beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of lamps beyond the rated life could cause a lamp to break on rare occasions.
11. The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool for approximately 45 minutes prior to removing the lamp assembly for replacement.
12. Never attempt to replace the lamp assembly until the projector has cooled down and is unplugged from the power supply.
13. This projector is capable of displaying inverted images for ceiling mount installation. Use only a proper ceiling mount kit for mounting.
14. THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.
15. When installing the unit, incorporate a readily accessible disconnect device in the fixed wiring, or connect the power plug to an easily accessible socket-outlet near the unit. If a fault should occur during operation of the unit, operate the disconnect device to switch the power supply off, or disconnect the power plug.
High temperature Caution
The temperature of the cabinet around and above the exhaust vents can become hot during projector operation. Touching these areas during operation could cause burns to the hands. Do not touch these areas. Doing so may cause burns. Pay particular attention in preventing young children from touching these parts. Additionally, do not place any metal objects on these areas. Due to the heat from the projector, doing so could cause an accident or personal injury.
Ceiling mounting the projector
If you intend to mount your projector on the ceiling, we strongly recommend that you use a proper fitting projector ceiling mount kit and ensure it is securely and safely installed.
If not, there is a safety risk that the projector may fall from the ceiling due to an improper attachment through the use of the wrong gauge or length screws.
You can purchase a proper projector ceiling mount kit from the place you purchased your projector. We recommend that you also purchase a separate Kensington lock compatible security cable and attach it securely to both the Kensington lock slot on the projector and the base of the ceiling mount bracket. This will perform the secondary role of restraining the projector should its attachment to the mounting bracket become loose.
Do not attempt to disassemble this projector. There are dangerous high voltages inside which may cause death if you should come into contact with live parts. The only user serviceable part is the lamp. See page 33.
Under no circumstances should you ever undo or remove any other covers. Refer servicing only to suitably qualified professional service personnel.
Please keep the original packing for possible future shipment. If you need to pack your projector after use, adjust the projection lens to an appropriate position, put the lens cushion around the lens, and fit the lens cushion and projector cushion together to prevent damage during transportation.
Important safety instructions

When you think service or repair is required, take the projector only to a suitably qualified technician.
Moisture condensation
Never operate the projector immediately after moving it from a cold location to a hot location. When the projector is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture may condense on the crucial internal parts. To prevent the projector from possible damage, do not use the projector for at least 2 hours when there is a sudden change in temperature.
Avoid volatile liquids
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide or certain types of cleaner, near the projector. Do not have rubber or plastic products touching the projector for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish. If cleaning with a chemically treated cloth, be sure to follow the cleaning product’s safety instructions.
Disposal
This product contains the following materials which are harmful to human bodies and environment.
• Lead, which is contained in solder.
• Mercury, which is used in the lamp.
