local power supply.
2. Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it
checked by the qualified personnel before operating it further.
3. Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers
may damage the components inside and will void your warranty.
4. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall,
causing serious damage to the product.
5. Unplug the unit from the wall socket if it is not to be used for several days. To
disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
6. The wall socket should be near the unit and easily accessible.
7. Do not place the projector where the cord can be stepped on as this may result in
fraying or damage to the lead or the plug. Be alert to tripping hazards.
8. Never look into the projector lens when the lamp is switched on as the bright light
can damage your eyes. Never let children look into the lens when it is on.
9. Do not place your hand or objects near the ventilation holes. The air coming out is hot.
10. Never open any covers on the projector except the lamp cover. Dangerous electrical
voltages inside the projector can cause severe injury. Except as specifically directed
in this User's Manual, do not attempt to service this product yourself. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
11. Unplug the projector from the wall socket before cleaning. Use a damp cloth for
cleaning the projector housing. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
