period of time.
·Never apply heat to the batteries, or place them in naked flames or 
water.
·Ensure that the batteries are inserted in accordance with the cor-
rect polarity (+ and -).
·If any liquid that has leaked from a battery gets onto the hands, 
wash it off immediately with water.

Safety Precautions
Using the projector outside of the permissible temperature range (+5C° to +35C°) 
may result in unstable display and excessive loads being placed on the fan, lead-
ing to damage to the equipment.
Storing the projector outside of the permissible temperature range (-10C° to 
+60C°) may result in damage of the case. Take special care to avoid placing the 
equipment in direct sunlight for a long period of time.
Do not use the projector with the lens cover still in place. The heat generated by 
the lens may cause the cover to become malformed.
The liquid crystal display panel has been manufactured with high-accuracy tech-
nology and contains more than 99.99% active pixels. However, note that there is a 
possibility of 0.01% of missing pixels and pixels that will be constantly illumi-
nated.
