WARNING  
Do not look through the lens when the lamp is on. 
Never look through the lens when the lamp is on. The powerful light could 
adversely affect vision. Use special caution in households where children are 
present. 
 
Avoid shock or impact on the projector. 
If the projector should fall, resulting in damage to the cabinet, immediately 
turn off the power switch, disconnect the power plug from the power outlet 
and contact your dealer. 
Continued use could result in fire or electrical shock.  
Do not place this projector in a container containing liquid. Do not place flower 
vases, flowerpots, cups, cosmetics, liquids such as water, etc., on top of this projector. 
 
Do not use any power cables except those supplied with the projector. 
The use of any other power cable could result in fire or electrical shock. 
 
Do not shine the laser beam onto yourself or other. 
The laser pointer function of projector remote control emits class II laser beam. 
Do not look directly into the laser beam outlet or direct the laser beam at other people. 
Vision can be impaired if the laser beam enters the eyes. Especially pay attention if 
children are present. 
 
High temperatures are generated when the lamp is lit; so do not place objects in 
front of the lens. 
 
Allowing the proper amount of space on the top, sides, and rear of the projector cabinet is 
critical for proper air circulation and cooling of the unit. 
The dimensions shown here indicate the minimum space required. If the projector is to 
be built into a compartment or similarly enclosed, these minimum distances must be 
maintained.
