about your PowerLite projector.
Important Safety Instructions
Follow these safety instructions when setting up and using the projector:
■Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table.
■Do not use the projector near water or sources of heat.
■Use the type of power source indicated on the projector. If you are not 
sure of the power available, consult your dealer or power company.
■Place the projector near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily 
unplugged.
■Insert the projector’s two-prong plug into a properly grounded outlet. 
Do not hold the plug with wet hands.
■Take the following precautions for the plug. Failure to comply with 
these precautions could result in sparks or fire: Do not insert the plug 
into an outlet with dust present. Insert the plug firmly into the outlet.
■Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience 
receptacles. This can cause fire or electric shock.
■Do not place the projector where the cord can be walked on. This may 
result in fraying or damage to the plug.
■Unplug the projector from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp 
cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
■Do not block the slots and openings in the projector case. They provide 
ventilation and prevent the projector from overheating. Do not operate 
the projector on a sofa, rug, or other soft surface, or in a closed-in 
cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.
■Never push objects of any kind through the cabinet slots. Never spill 
liquid of any kind into the projector.

service personnel under the following conditions: When the power cord 
or plug is damaged or frayed. If liquid has been spilled into the 
projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water. If it does not operate
