Important Safety Information
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: The projector and its accessories come packaged in plastic bags. Keep plastic bags away from small 
children to avoid any risk of suffocation.
Caution: When you replace the lamp, never touch the new lamp with your bare hands; the invisible residue left by 
the oil on your hands may shorten the lamp life. Use a cloth or glove to handle the new lamp.
