Important safety instructions
Your projector is designed and tested to meet the latest standards for safety of information 
technology equipment. However, to ensure safe use of this product, it is important that you 
follow the instructions mentioned in this manual and marked on the product. 
Safety Instructions
1.Please read this manual before you 
operate your projector. Save it for 
future reference. 
2.Do not look straight at the projector 
lens during operation. The intense 
light beam may damage your eyes. 
3.Refer servicing to qualified service 
personnel. 4. In some countries, the line voltage is 
NOT stable. This projector is designed 
to operate safely within a mains 
voltage of 19 volts AC, but could fail if 
power cuts or surges of ±10 volts 
occur. In areas where the mains 
voltage may fluctuate or cut out, it is 
recommended that you connect your 
projector through a power stabilizer, 
surge protector or uninterruptible 
power supply (UPS). 
5. Do not block the projection lens with 
any objects when the projector is 
under operation as this could cause 
the objects to become heated and 
deformed or even cause a fire. To 
temporarily turn off the lamp, press 
BLANK on the projector or remote 
control.

Safety Instructions (Continued)
6. Do not operate lamps beyond the 
rated lamp life. Excessive operation 
of lamps beyond the rated life could 
cause them to break on rare 
occasions. 
7. Never replace any electronic 
components unless the projector is 
unplugged. 8. Do not place this product on an 
unstable cart, stand, or table. The 
product may fall, sustaining serious 
damage. 
9. Do not attempt to disassemble this 
projector. There are dangerous high 
voltages inside which may cause 
death if you should come into 
contact with live parts. Refer 
servicing only to suitably qualified 
professional service personnel.
10. When the projector is under 
operation, you may sense some 
heated air and odor from its 
ventilation grill. It is a normal 
phenomenon and not a product 
defect.

Safety Instructions (Continued)
11. Do not place this projector in any of 
the following environments.
- Space that is poorly ventilated or

from walls and free flow of air around the 
projector. 
- Locations where temperatures may 
become excessively high, such as the 
inside of a car with all windows rolled up.
- Locations where excessive humidity, dust, 
or cigarette smoke may contaminate 
optical components, shortening the 
projectors life span and darkening the 
image.
- Locations near fire alarms
- Locations with an ambient temperature 
above 60°C / 140°F
- Locations where the altitudes are higher 
than 12000 m (40000 feet).
12. Do not block the ventilation holes. 
- Do not place this projector on a blanket, 
bedding or any other soft surface. 
- Do not cover this projector with a cloth or 
any other item. 
- Do not place inflammables near the 
projector.   
If the ventilation holes are seriously 
obstructed, overheating inside the 
projector may result in a fire.
13. Always place the projector on a level, 
horizontal surface during operation. 
14. Do not stand the projector on end 
vertically. Doing so may cause the 
projector to fall over, causing injury or 
resulting in damage to the projector.
