Introduction
Usage Guidelines
 Do not look directly into the projection lens when the lamp is 
turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.
 Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air flow 
can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must 
wait a minute before attempting to turn it back on.
 Handle the projector as you would any product with glass 
components. Be especially careful not to drop it.
 Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold...
