Safety precautions
If you will not be using the projector for an extended
period of time, turn the power off at the wall outlet.The
power outlet should be installed as near to the equipment
as possible and should be easily accessible.
To prevent shock, do not open the case. No user-
serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified
service personnel.
Warnings
•The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-
240VAC, 50Hz/60Hz.
•Avoid staring directly into the lens as eye damage may result.
•Never expose the projector to rain or moisture. Keep away from
sources of liquid such as drinks.
•The projector should never be placed near or over a radiator or other
hot device.
•Handle the power cord carefully. A damaged cord can cause electric
shock or fire.
•Do not attempt to mount the projector on a ceiling yourself. The
projector must be installed by a qualified technician in order to ensure
proper operation and reduce the risk of injury. The ceiling must be
strong enough to support the projector.
•Installation must allow for air flow on all sides.
•When the projector is turned off, the cooling fan will continue to
operate. During this cooling period, do not turn off the power or remove
the plug from the power outlet.
•Turn off the projector and disconnect power cord if it is not to be used
for an extended period of time.
•Clean filters regularly to avoid blockage of air flow.
•When replacement parts are required, be sure to purchase them from
Lumenlab. Using third party parts will void warranty.
