SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING :  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.  Eye damage
could result.  Be especially careful that children do not stare directly into the beam.
Do not use projectors with whiteboards that produce a very bright glare or hot spot. This seems to happen
most on shiny surfaces. 
This projector should be set in the way indicated.  If not, it may result in a fire hazard.
Take appropriate space on the top, sides and rear of the projector
cabinet for allowing air circulation and cooling the projector.
Minimum distance should be taken.  If the projector is to be built
into a compartment or similarly enclosed, the minimum distances
must be maintained.  Do not cover the ventilation slot on the
projector.  Heat build-up can reduce the service life of your
projector, and can also be dangerous.
Do not put any flammable object or spray can near the projector, hot air is exhausted from the ventilation
holes.
Remote Control Unit, supplied to this projector, emits the laser beam as the laser pointer function from Laser
Light Window while pressing LASER button (for 1 minute / LASER POINTER INDICATOR lights red to indicate
laser emission).  Do not look into Laser Light Window or shine the laser beam on yourself or other people.  Eye
damage may result.
If the projector is not to be used for an extended time, unplug the projector from the power outlet.
