Usage Notice
Eye Safety Warnings
▀■ Avoid staring directly into the projector’s beam of light at all times\
.
▀■ Minimize standing facing into the beam. Keep your back to the beam as much as possible.
▀■ Using a stick or laser pointer is recommended to avoid the need  for the presenter to enter the beam.
▀■ Ensure that projectors are located out of the line of sight from the  screen to the audience; this ensures that, when presenters look at 
the audience, they do not also have to stare at the projector lamp. 
The best way to achieve this is by ceiling-mounting the projector 
rather than placing it on floor or table top.
▀■ When projector is used in a classroom, adequately supervise  students when they are asked to point out something on the 
screen.
▀■ In order to minimize the lamp power needed, use room blinds to  reduce ambient light levels.
