Places where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Doing so may damage the internal parts  z
and result in malfunctions.
Near the exhaust of an air conditioner or near lights (studio lamps, etc.) where temperature changes greatly  z
(Operating environment Æpage 69): Doing so may shorten the life of the lamp or result in deform\
ation of the 
outer case and malfunctions.
Near high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector. z
Do not install the projector at elevations of 2700 m (8858 ft) or higher above  J
