SAFETY
The lightning ash with arrow head within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous
voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of su󰀩cient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert
the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
Please follow all warnings, precautions and maintenance as recommended in this user's guide.
Important Safety Instruction
 Do not stare into the beam, RG2.
As with any bright source, do not stare into the direct beam, RG2 IEC 62471-5:2015.
 Do not block any ventilation openings. To ensure reliable operation of the projector and to protect from
over heating, it is recommended to install the projector in a location that does not block ventilation.
As an example, do not place the projector on a crowded co󰀨ee table, sofa, bed, etc. Do not put the
projector in an enclosure such as a book case or a cabinet that restricts air ow.
 To reduce the risk of re and/or electric shock, do not expose the projector to rain or moisture. Do not
install near heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves or any other apparatus such as ampliers
that emits heat.
 Do not let objects or liquids enter the projector. They may touch dangerous voltage points and short
out parts that could result in re or electric shock.
 Do not use under the following conditions:
± In extremely hot, cold or humid environments.
(i) Ensure that the ambient room temperature is within 5°C ~ 40°C
(ii) Relative humidity is 10% ~ 85%
± In areas susceptible to excessive dust and dirt.
± Near any appliance generating a strong magnetic eld.
± In direct sunlight.
 Do not use the projector in places where ammable gases or explosives gases may be present in the
atmosphere. The lamp inside the projector becomes very hot during operation and the gases may
ignite and result in a re.
 Do not use the unit if it has been physically damaged or abused. Physical damage/abuse would be
(but not limited to):
± Unit has been dropped.
± Power supply cord or plug has been damaged.
± Liquid has been spilled on to the projector.
± Projector has been exposed to rain or moisture.
± Something has fallen in the projector or something is loose inside.
 Do not place the projector on an unstable surface. The projector may fall over resulting in injury or the
projector may become damaged.
 Do not block the light coming out of the projector lens when in operation. The light will heat the object
and could melt, cause burns or start a re.

 Please do not open or disassemble the projector as this may cause electric shock.
 Do not attempt to service the unit yourself. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltages or other hazards. Please call Optoma before you send the unit for repair.
 See projector enclosure for safety related markings.
 The unit should only be repaired by appropriate service personnel.
 Only use attachments/accessories specied by the manufacturer.
 Do not look into straight into the projector lens during operation. The bright light may harm your eyes.
 When replacing the lamp, please allow the unit to cool down. Follow instructions as described on
pages 56-57.
 This projector will detect the life of the lamp itself. Please be sure to change the lamp when it shows
warning messages.
 Reset the "Lamp Reset" function from the on-screen display "Setup lamp settings" menu after
replacing the lamp module.
 When switching the projector o󰀨, please ensure the cooling cycle has been completed before
disconnecting power. Allow 90 seconds for the projector to cool down.
 When the lamp is approaching to the end of its life time, the message "Lamp life exceeded." will show
on the screen. Please contact your local reseller or service center to change the lamp as soon as
possible.
 Turn o󰀨 and unplug the power plug from the AC outlet before cleaning the product.
 Use a soft dry cloth with mild detergent to clean the display housing. Do not use abrasive cleaners,
waxes or solvents to clean the unit.
 Disconnect the power plug from AC outlet if the product is not being used for a long period of time.
Note: When the lamp reaches the end of its life, the projector will not turn back on until the lamp module has been
replaced. To replace the lamp, follow the procedures listed under “Replacing the Lamp” section on pages
56-57.
 Do not setup the projector in places where it might be subjected to vibration or shock.
 Do not touch the lens with bare hands
 Remove battery/batteries from remote control before storage. If the battery/batteries are left in the
remote for long periods, they may leak.
 Do not use or store the projector in places where smoke from oil or cigarettes may be present, as it
can adversely a󰀨ect the quality of the projector performance.
 Please follow the correct projector orientation installation as non standard installation may a󰀨ect the
projector performance.
 Use a power strip and or surge protector. As power outages and brown-outs can KILL devices.
3D Safety Information
Please follow all warnings and precautions as recommended before you or your child use the 3D function.
Warning
Children and teenagers may be more susceptible to health issues associated with viewing in 3D and should be
closely supervised when viewing these images.
Photosensitive Seizure Warning and Other Health Risks
 Some viewers may experience an epileptic seizure or stroke when exposed to certain ashing images
or lights contained in certain Projector pictures or video games. If you su󰀨er from, or have a family
history of epilepsy or strokes, please consult with a medical specialist before using the 3D function.
 Even those without a personal or family history of epilepsy or stroke may have an undiagnosed
condition that can cause photosensitive epileptic seizures.
 Pregnant women, the elderly, su󰀨erers of serious medical conditions, those who are sleep deprived or
under the inuence of alcohol should avoid utilizing the unit’s 3D functionality.

 If you experience any of the following symptoms, stop viewing 3D pictures immediately and consult a
medical specialist: (1) altered vision; (2) light-headedness; (3) dizziness; (4) involuntary movements
such as eye or muscle twitching; (5) confusion; (6) nausea; (7) loss of awareness; (8) convulsions;
(9) cramps; and/ or (10) disorientation. Children and teenagers may be more likely than adults
to experience these symptoms. Parents should monitor their children and ask whether they are
experiencing these symptoms.
 Watching 3D projection may also cause motion sickness, perceptual after e󰀨ects, disorientation, eye
strain and decreased postural stability. It is recommended that users take frequent breaks to lessen
the potential of these e󰀨ects. If your eyes show signs of fatigue or dryness or if you have any of the
above symptoms, immediately discontinue use of this device and do not resume using it for at least
thirty minutes after the symptoms have subsided.
 Watching 3D projection while sitting too close to the screen for an extended period of time may
damage your eyesight. The ideal viewing distance should be at least three times the screen height. It
is recommended that the viewer’s eyes are level with the screen.
 Watching 3D projection while wearing 3D glasses for an extended period of time may cause a
headache or fatigue. If you experience a headache, fatigue or dizziness, stop viewing the 3D
projection and rest.
 Do not use the 3D glasses for any other purpose than for watching 3D projection.
 Wearing the 3D glasses for any other purpose (as general spectacles, sunglasses, protective goggles,
etc.) may be physically harmful to you and may weaken your eyesight.
 Viewing in 3D projection may cause disorientation for some viewers. Accordingly, DO NOT place your
3D PROJECTOR near open stairwells, cables, balconies, or other objects that can be tripped over, run
into, knocked down, broken or fallen over.
