• 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
