IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
Save Original Packing Materials
The original shipping carton and packing materials will come in handy if you ever have to ship your 
projector. For maximum protection, repack the set as it was originally packed at the factory.
Moisture Condensation
Never operate this unit immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm location. When the 
unit is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture may condense on the crucial internal 
parts. To prevent the unit from possible damage, do not use the unit for at least 2 hours after there is 
an extreme or sudden change in temperature.
Location and Installation
•  Do not place in hot locations, such as near a heater. Doing so could cause malfunction and shorten 
the life of the projector.
•  Avoid locations with oil or cigarette smoke, which can affect the quality and useful life of the 
product’s optical parts and darken the screen.
•  Do not use the product vertically in any upright position or slantwise at an angle of 20 degrees or 
more.
•  Using this product near a TV or radio may cause interference in the image or sound. If this 
happens, move it away from the TV or radio.
•  In a high-altitude location where the air is thin, cooling efficiency is reduced; therefore, use the 
projector in a cool area. Plug
