Important Operating Considerations
Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or other soft covering that may
block the vents. Vents are placed along the left and right sides of the
DP6500x, as well as across the front of the projector.
Do not use a non-
approved ceiling mount. In the unlikely event of the lamp rupturing, discard any edible items placed in the surrounding area and thoroughly clean
the area along the sides and in the front of the projector.
Do not place objects in the areas along the side and in the front of the projector
