Safety Instructions
Read all of these instructions before you operate your projector and save for future
reference.
1. Check that the operating voltage of your unit is identical with the voltage of your
local power supply.
2. Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it
checked by the qualied 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
specically directed in this User’s Manual, do not attempt to service this product
yourself. Refer all servicing to qualied 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.
12. Keep the plastic packing materials (from the projector, accessories and optional
parts) out of the reach of children as these bags may result in death by suffocation.
Be particularly careful around the small children.

2ViewSonic PJ506D
13. For ventilation reasons, the fan continues to operate after the projector has been
powered off. Please do not unplug the power cord until the fan stops.
14. The projector is equipped with ventilation holes (intake) and ventilation holes
(exhaust). Do not block or place anything near these slots, or internal heat build-
up may occur, causing picture degradation or damage to the projector.
15. When you replace the projector lamp, never touch the new bulb with your bare
hands. The invisible residue left by the oil on your hands may shorten the bulb
life. Use lint-free gloves or nger cots are recommended.
16. The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other products (including ampliers) that produce heat.
17. Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles
as this can result in a risk of re or electric shock.

Notes on AC Power Cord
AC Power Cord must meet requirement of country where you use a projector. Conrm
an AC plug type with graphics below and proper AC Power Cord must be used. If
supplied AC Power Cord does not match your AC outlet, contact your sales dealer.
This projector is equipped with a grounding type AC line plug. Make sure that your
outlet ts the plug. Do not defeat the safety purpose of this grounding type plug. We
highly recommend using a video source device also equipped with a grounding type
AC line plug to prevent from signal interference due to voltage uctuation.
