Excessive operation of lamps beyond the rated life could cause them to
explode on rare occasions.

3. Never replace the lamp assembly or any electronic components unless
the projector is unplugged.

4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this appliance.
Take it to a qualified technician when service or repair is required.
Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is
subsequently used.

5. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The
product may fall, sustaining serious damage.

6. Do not touch the top cover when the projector is under operation.

7. The projector must be packaged into a carry bag while moving to
another place for operation.

Caution

• Always open the lens shutter when the projector lamp is on.

• Do not look straight at the projector lens during operation. The
intense light beam may damage your eyes.

• In some countries, the line voltage is NOT stable. This projector is
designed to operate safely within a bandwidth of 100 to 240 volts,
but could fail if power cuts or surges of + 10 volts occur. In these
high-risk areas, it is recommended that a power stabilizer unit be
used in conjuction with this projector.

• Do not place this projector on the top of cloth or carpet.

• Do not touch the ventilation grill when the projector is under opera­tion.
