IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

Save Original Packing Materials

The original shipping carton and packing materials will come in handy if you ever
have to ship your projector. For maximum protection, repack the set as it was
originally packed at the factory.

Moisture Condensation

Never operate this unit immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm
location. When the unit is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture
may condense on the crucial internal parts. To prevent the unit from possible
damage, do not use the unit for at least 2 hours after there is an extreme or
sudden change in temperature.

Location and Installation

• Do not place in hot locations, such as near a heater. Doing so could cause
malfunction and shorten the life of the projector.

• Avoid locations with oil or cigarette smoke, which can affect the quality and
useful life of the product’s optical parts and darken the screen.

• Do not use the product vertically in any upright position or slantwise at an angle
of 20 degrees or more.

• Using this product near a TV or radio may cause interference in the image or
sound. If this happens, move it away from the TV or radio.

• In a high-altitude location where the air is thin, cooling efficiency is reduced;
therefore, use the projector in a cool area.

Avoid Volatile Liquids

Do not use volatile liquids, such as an insect spray, near the unit. Do not leave
rubber or plastic products touching the unit for a long time. They will leave marks
on the finish. If cleaning with a chemically saturated cloth, be sure to follow the
product's precautions.
In the spaces provided below, record the model and serial numbers located at the
bottom of your projector.

Model No. Serial No.
Retain this information for future reference.

Caution

• Never throw batteries into a fire.

Note

• Be sure to use AAA batteries.

• Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area.

• Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery disposal.

• Do not mix different battery types or combine used batteries with new ones.

• If the remote control does not operate correctly, or if the operating range
becomes reduced, replace both batteries with new ones.

• If the batteries are dead or if you will not be using the remote control for a long
time, remove the batteries to prevent battery acid from leaking into the battery
compartment.

Using the batteries improperly may cause them to explode or leak and lead to
burn or injury. If battery-leaking fluid contacts skin, wash the fluid off immediately
with clean water and consult a doctor. If the fluid is spilt on an instrument, avoid
contact and wipe it off using tissue paper.
(Dispose of the used tissue paper as flammable garbage after moistening with
water.)
