Important SafetyWarnings
• Unplug the projector immediately if you detect an abnormal smell or see smoke.
• Do not look directly into the lighted lens; doing so will cause severe eye injury.
• Keep small children away from the projector. Children can be severely burned by the hot lens.
Also, children are more likely to look directly into the lens.
• Never touch the lens or the lamp when hot or warm; doing so will cause a severe burn. Unplug the
projector and allow the unit to cool down for 45 minutes before replacing the lamp or storing the
projector.
• Do not service the unit yourself; doing so could cause injury.
• Do not operate the projector near water or in a humid area. Do not sit drinks on or near the
projector; doing so could cause a burn or short an electrical circuit.
• Do not block the ventilation openings in the projector. Place the projector so that there is adequate
air circulation
• Keep the air filter clean.
• Do not place the projector on a shelf or on any other unstable surface.
