  

Ensure that the intake vents do not recycle hot air from the exhaust vent. 
   When operating the projector in an enclosed space, ensure that the surrounding air temperature 
within the enclosure does not exceed operation te mperature while the projector is running, and the 
air intake and exhaust vents are unobstructed. 
   All enclosures should pass a certified thermal ev aluation to ensure that the projector does not 
recycle exhaust air, as this may  cause the device to shutdown even if the enclosure temperature is 
with the acceptable oper ation temperature range.
