General Safety Information
Do not open the unit case. Aside from the projection lamp, there are no user-serviceable parts in
the unit. For servicing, contact qualified service personnel.
Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual and on the unit case.
The projection lamp is extremely bright by design. To avoid damage to eyes, do not look into the
lens when the lamp is on.
Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart, or stand.
Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or near a heating device.
Do not place heavy objects such as books or bags on the unit.
Projector Installation Notice
Place the projector in a horizontal position
The tilt angle of the projector should not exceed 15 degrees, nor should the projector be installed in
any way other than the desktop and ceiling mount, otherwise lamp life could decrease dramatically.
Allow at least 50 cm clearance around the exhaust vent.
Ensure that the intake vents do not recycle hot air from the exhaust vent.
When operating the projector in an enclosed space, ensure that the surrounding air temperature
within the enclosure does not exceed operation temperature while the projector is running, and the
air intake and exhaust vents are unobstructed.
All enclosures should pass a certified thermal evaluation to ensure that the projector does not
recycle exhaust air, as this may cause the device to shutdown even if the enclosure temperature is
with the acceptable operation temperature range.
Power Safety
Only use the supplied power cord.
Do not place anything on the power cord. Place the power cord where it will not be in the way of
foot traffic.
Remove the batteries from the remote control when storing or not in use for a prolonged period.

Remote Control Parts
Important:
1. Avoid using the projector with bright fluorescent lighting turned on. Certain high-frequency
fluorescent lights can disrupt remote control operation.
2. Be sure nothing obstructs the path between the remote control and the projector. If the path
between the remote control and the projector is obstructed, you can bounce the signal off certain
reflective surfaces such as projector screens.

15 degrees above or below the projector level. If the projector does not respond to the remote control,
move a little closer.
