• Do not touch the lens with bare hands.  Doing so may result in deterioration 
of image quality.
• If the projector is suddenly moved from a location where the temperature is 
low to a location where the temperature  is high, or if the temperature in the 
location where the projecto r is installed increases suddenly, moisture in the 
air could cause condensation to form on  the projector lens or mirror. This 
may cause a blurred image. Wait until  the condensation has evaporated for 
the image projected to return to normal.
• Do not install the projector in a location where the temperature is high or low. 
Doing so may cause a malfunction. The temperature range for operation and 
storage are as follows.
Operating temperature: 0°C to 40°C Humidity level: up to 85%
