USER GUIDELCD PROJECTOR13 6 SETTING UP THE LCD PROJECTOR 6.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONSSwitch off all equipment before connecting together the various items. Be aware of static electricity that may build up, especially in the dry season and when operating on synthetic carpets. Discharge any static electricity by touching a metallic surface before you start.Do not cover the air inlets in front and on top of the projector housing, as this will block the cooling. Also make sure to place the projector on a flat, hard surface to avoid blocking the air inlet at the bottom of the unit. A thermal safety switch will cut off the illumination system if the ventilation is reduced.Do not connect any devices or cables other than those supplied with the LCD projector into the connector ports on the projector unit, even if the connector ports appear identical, as this voids any warranty and may cause permanent damage to the projector, and to the connected source apparatus.

The best viewing results are obtained in a dimmed room with no direct sunlight shining in. Try to ensure also that the projected image is visible to the whole audience by placing source equipment where it will not obscure viewing. The LCD projector is provided with extra long cables for this purpose.
