This appendix includes safety instructions and other important information 
about your PowerLite projector.
Important Safety Instructions
Follow these safety instructions when  setting up and using the projector:
■Do not look into the lens when the projector is on. The bright light can 
damage your eyes.
■Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table.
■Do not operate the projector on its  side, or while tilted to one side. 
Do not tilt the projector more than 30° forward or back. 
■If the projector is mounted on a ce iling, it should be installed by 
qualified technicians using mounting hardware designed for use with 
this projector.
■If you use a ceiling mount and apply  adhesives to the mount to prevent 
the screws from loosening, or if  you use lubricants or oils on the 
projector, the projector case may cr ack and the projector may fall from 
its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the 
mount and could damage the projector. When installing or adjusting a 
ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening 
and do not use oils or lubricants.
■Do not stand on the projector or place heavy objects on it.
■Do not use the projector where it may be exposed to rain, water, or 
excessive humidity. 
■Unplug the projector from the wall  outlet before cleaning. Use a dry 
cloth (or, for stubborn dirt or stai ns, a moist cloth that has been wrung 
dry) for cleaning. Do not use  liquid or aerosol cleaners.
■Never spill liquid of any kind into the projector.
■Do not use the projector where it may be exposed to excessive dust or 
smoke.
■Never push objects of any kind through the cabinet slots.  
						

							
114Notices
■Do not use or store the projector or remote control in a hot location, 
such as near a heater, in direct  sunlight, or in a closed vehicle.
■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 so ft surface, or set it on top of loose 
papers, which could block vents underneath your projector. If you are 
setting up the projector near a wall,  leave at least 7.9 inches (20 cm) of 
space between the wall and the air exhaust vent.
■Do not operate the projector in a  closed-in cabinet unless proper 
ventilation is provided.
■If you are using two or more projectors side-by-side, leave at least 2 feet 
(60 cm) of space between the projecto rs to allow for proper ventilation.
■You may need to clean the air filter an d vent. A clogged air filter or vent 
can block ventilation needed to cool the projector.
■Do not store the projector outdoors  for an extended length of time.
■Do not use the projector outside the required temperature range of 
41 to 95 °F (5 to 35 °C). Doing so may cause an unstable display and 
could lead to projector damage.
■Do not store the projector outside  the required temperature range of 
14 to 140 °F (–10 to 60 °C) or in direct sunlight for long periods of 
time. Doing so may cause damage to the case.
■Do not touch the plug during an el ectrical storm. Otherwise, you may 
receive an electric shock.
■Unplug the projector when it will  not be used for extended periods.
■Unplug the projector from the wall outl et and refer servicing to qualified 
service personnel under the following  conditions: If it does not operate 
normally when you follow the operating instructions, or exhibits a 
distinct change in performance; If  smoke, strange odors, or strange 
noises come from the projector; If th e power cord or plug is damaged or 
frayed; If liquid or foreign objects get inside the projector, or if it has 
been exposed to rain or water; If it  has been dropped or the housing has 
been damaged.
■Except as specifically explained in this  User’s Guide, do not attempt to 
service this product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. 
Opening or removing covers may expo se you to dangerous voltages and 
other hazards.
■Never open any covers on the projecto r except as specifically explained 
in this  User’s Guide . Never attempt to disassemble or modify the 
projector. Refer all repairs to  qualified service personnel. 
						

							
Notices115
■Use the type of power source indicated on the projector. Use of a 
different power source may result in fi re or electric shock. If you are not 
sure of the power available, consult your dealer or power company.
■If you use the projector in a country other than where you purchased it, 
use the correct power cord for that country.

■The lamp(s) in this product contai n mercury. Please consult your 
state and local regulations regarding di sposal or recycling. Do not put in 
the trash.
■Do not place anything that can become warped or damaged by heat near 
the exhaust vents. Do not bring your  hands or face close to the vents 
while projection is in progress.
■Before you move the projector, make  sure its power is turned off, the 
plug is disconnected from the outl et, and all cables are disconnected.
■Never try to remove the lamp immediately after use because it will be 
extremely hot. Before removing the la mp, turn off the power and wait at 
least an hour to allow the lamp to cool completely.
■Do not place the source of an open flam e, such as a lit candle, on or near 
the projector.
■Do not modify the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on top of the 
power cord or bend, twist, or pull  it excessively. Keep the power cord 
away from hot electrical appliances.
■If the lamp breaks, ventilate the room  to prevent gases contained in the 
lamp from being inhaled or coming  in contact with the eyes or mouth.
■If the projector is mounted overhead  and the lamp breaks, be careful to 
prevent pieces of glass from falling  into your eyes when you open the 
lamp cover.
