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 DC, 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.
