ii Important Safety Information WARNING: Never look into the projector lens when the lamp is turned on; the bright light can damage your eyes. Never let children look into the lens when it is on.

Except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide , do not attempt to service this product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. WARNING: The projector and its accessories come packaged in plastic bags. Keep plastic bags away from small children to avoid any risk of suffocation.
