Important Safety Information
Follow these safety instructions when setting up and using the projector:
■Never look into the projector lens when the lamp is turned on; the bright light can damage your 
eyes. Never let children look into the lens when it is on.
■Never open any cover on the projector, except the lamp and filter covers. Dangerous electrical 
voltages inside the projector can severely injure you.
■Except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide, do not attempt to service this product 
yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
■The projector and its accessories come packaged in plastic bags. Keep plastic bags away from small 
children to avoid any risk of suffocation.
■Don’t place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table. Also, don’t use the projector near 
water or sources of heat.
■Use the type of power source indicated on the projector. If you’re 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.
■Don’t insert the plug into an outlet with dust present, and insert the plug firmly into the outlet. 
Failure to do so could result in sparks or fire.
■Don’t overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles. This can cause 
fire or electric shock.
■Don’t block the slots and openings in the projector case. They provide ventilation and prevent the 
projector from overheating. Don’t 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 through the cabinet slots or spill liquid into the projector.
■Unplug the projector from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified 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 doesn’t operate normally 
when you follow the operating instructions, or if it exhibits a distinct change in performance, 
indicating a need for service; if it has been dropped or the housing has been damaged.
■Don’t 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.

regarding disposal or recycling. Do not put in the trash.
■Allow the lamp to cool for one hour before replacing it.
■Unplug the projector during lightning storms or when not in use for extended periods.
■Don’t place the projector or remote control on top of heat-producing equipment.
■If you use the projector in a country other than where you purchased it, use the correct power cord 
for that country.
■Don’t stand on the projector or place heavy objects on it.
■Don’t use the projector outside of 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.
■Don’t store the projector outside of 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.

THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR 
PURPOSE. SOME LAWS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES.
