before using the projector. Should there be any damage caused by transportation, consult your
dealer and do not use the apparatus. Keep the package well for your possible future
transportation.

locations. Aviod excessive moisture.

The projector is not designed or intended to be mounted directly on to inflammable surfaces.

The projector is only intended for installation, operation and maintenance by qualified personnel.
The projector must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 50cm from

adjacent surfaces. Be sure that all the cooling fans run normally and no ventilation slots are
blocked.

Do not project the beam onto inflammable surfaces, minimum distance is 5m.
Avoid direct exposure to the light from the lamp. The light is harmful to the eye.
