product life, but also malfunctions, fire hazard, or other
accidents.
If your projector seems to operate improperly, read this
manual again, check operations and cable connections and try
the solutions in the “Troubleshooting” section in the end of this
booklet. If the problem still persists, contact the dealer where
you purchased the projector or the service center.

Safety Precaution

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC

SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE
TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

– This projector produces intense light from the projection

lens. Do not stare directly into the lens as much as
possible. Eye damage could result. Be especially careful
that children do not stare directly into the beam.

– Install the projector in a proper position. If not, it may result

in a fire hazard.

– Provide appropriate space on the top, sides and rear of the

projector cabinet for allowing air circulation and cooling the
projector. Minimum clearances must be maintained. If the
projector is to be built into a compartment or similarly
enclosed, the minimum distances must be maintained. Do
not cover the ventilation slots on the projector. Heat build­up can reduce the service life of your projector, and can
also be dangerous.

– If the projector is not to be used for an extended time,

unplug the projector from the power outlet.
