Safety Precautions
WARNING:
•THIS APPARATUS MUST BE GROUNDED.
•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, otherwise
eye damage could result. Be especially careful that children do not stare directly into the beam.
•Install the projector in a proper position. Otherwise it may result in a fire hazard.
•Do not cover the ventilation slots on the projector. Heat build-up can reduce the service life of your
projector, and can also be dangerous.
•If the projector is unused for an extended time, unplug the projector from the power outlet.
•Do not project the same image for a long time.
An afterimage may remain on the DMD panel due to the characteristics of the panel of the projector.
WARNING ON HANGING FROM THE CEILING
When hanging the projector from the ceiling, clean the air intake vents and top of the projector periodically
with a vacuum cleaner. If you leave the projector unclean for a long time, the cooling fans can be clogged
with dust, and it may cause a breakdown or a disaster.
Make sure to implement anti-fall measures such as an anti-fall wire when installing the projector in high
places, for example, installing it on the ceiling.
DO NOT SET THE PROJECTOR IN GREASY, WET, OR SMOKY CONDITIONS SUCH AS IN A KITCHEN
TO PREVENT A BREAKDOWN OR A DISASTER. IF THE PROJECTOR COMES IN CONTACT WITH OIL
OR CHEMICALS, IT MAY BECOME DETERIORATED.
READ AND KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR LATER USE.
All the safety and operating instructions should be read before beginning to operate the product.
Read all of the instructions given here and retain them for later use. Unplug this projector from the AC power
supply before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners on the projector. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the projector.
For added protection of the projector during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended or unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage due to lightning and power
surges.
