Usage Notice
Eye Safety Warnings
▀■ Avoid staring directly into the projector beam at all times.
▀■ Minimize standing facing into the beam. Keep your back
to the beam as much as possible.
▀■ A stick or laser pointer is recommended to avoid the need
for the user to enter the beam.
▀■ Ensure that projectors are located out of the line of sight
from the screen to the audience; this ensures that, when
presenters look at the audience, they do not also have to
stare at the projector lamp. The best way to achieve this
is by ceiling-mounting rather than floor or table-mounting
the projector.
▀■ When projector is used in a classroom, adequately super-
vise students when they are asked to point out something
on the screen.
▀■ In order to minimize the lamp power needed, use room
blinds to reduce ambient light levels.
