Safety Precautions
WARNING:
• THIS APPARATUS MUST BE GROUNDED.
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT 
EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
• This projector produces intense light from the projection lens. Do not stare directly into 
the lens, otherwise eye damage could result. Be especially careful that children do not 
stare directly into the beam.
• Install the projector in a proper position. Otherwise it may result in a fire hazard.
• Allowing the proper amount of space on the top, sides, and rear of the projector cabinet 
is critical for proper air circulation and cooling of the unit. The diagram shown here 
indicates the minimum space required. If the projector is to be built into a compartment 
or similarly enclosed, these minimum distances must be maintained.
• Do not cover the ventilation slots on the projector. Heat build-up can reduce the service 
life of your projector, and can also be dangerous.
• If the projector is unused for an extended time, unplug the projector from the power 
outlet.
CAUTION ON HANGING FROM THE CEILING
When hanging the projector from the ceiling, clean the air intake vents and top of the 
projector periodically with a vacuum cleaner. If you leave the projector unclean for a long 
time, the cooling fans can be clogged with dust, and it may cause a breakdown or a disaster.
DO NOT SET THE PROJECTOR IN GREASY, WET, OR SMOKY CONDITIONS SUCH 
AS IN A KITCHEN TO PREVENT A BREAKDOWN OR A DISASTER. IF THE 
PROJECTOR COMES IN CONTACT WITH OIL OR CHEMICALS, IT MAY BECOME 
DETERIORATED.
