    Important Operating Considerations for Safety
    Place the projector in a horizontal position no greater than 15 degrees 
    off axis.
     Locate the projector in a well-ventilated area without any obstructions 
    to intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or 
    other soft covering that may block the vents.  Locate the projector at least 4 (1.2 m) away from any heating or cooling 
    vents. Use only InFocus-approved ceiling mounts. Only InFocus lamps are tested and certified for use in this projector. 
    InFocus is not liable for the performance, safety or certification of any 
    other lamps. The use of other lamps violates the projector warranty and 
    voids all certification marks on this projector. Use only the power cord provided. A surge-protected power strip is 
    recommended. Refer to this guide for proper startup and shutdown procedures.Wa r n i n g : Hg – Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance 
    with local disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org. In the unlikely event of a lamp rupture, particles may exit through the 
    projector side vents. When the projector is turned on, keep people, 
    food, and drinks out of the keep out area under and around the pro
    -
    jector, as indicated by the X areas below. 
    Follow these instructions to help ensure image quality and lamp life over 
    the life of the projector. Failure to follow these instructions may affect the 
    warranty. For complete details of the warranty, see the Warranty booklet.
