Important safety instructions 3
Important safety instructions
Your projector is designed and tested to meet the latest standards for safety of information 
technology equipment. However, to ensure safe  use of this product, it is important that you 
follow the instructions mentioned in  this manual and marked on the product. 
Safety Instructions
1.Please read this manual before you operate your projector.  Save it for future 
reference.
2. Do not look straight at the projector lens during operation.  The intense light beam 
may damage your eyes.
3. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.  
4. Always open the lens shutter or remove the lens cap when the projector lamp is 
on.
5. In some countries, the line voltage is NOT stable. This projector is designed to operate  safely within a mains voltage between 100  to 240 volts AC, but could fail if power 
cuts or surges of  10 volts occur.  In areas where the mains voltage may fluctuate 
or cut out, it is recommended that you connect your projector through a power 
stabilizer, surge protector or uninterruptible power supply (UPS). 
6. Do not block the projection lens with  any objects when the projector is under 
operation as this could cause the objects to become heated and deformed or even 
cause a fire. To temporarily turn off th e lamp, press BLANK on the projector or 
remote control.
7. The lamp becomes extremely hot during ope ration. Allow the projector to cool for 
approximately 45 minutes prior to rem oving the lamp assembly for replacement. 
8. Do not operate lamps beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of lamps  beyond the rated life could cause them to break on rare occasions. 
9. Never replace the lamp assembly or any electronic components unless the projector is  unplugged. 
10. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall,  sustaining serious damage. 
11. Do not attempt to disassemble this projector . There are dangerous high voltages inside 
which may cause death if you should come into  contact with live parts. The only user 
serviceable part is  the lamp which has its own removable cover.
Under no circumstances should you ever u ndo or remove any other covers. Refer 
servicing only to suitably qualifi ed professional service personnel.
12. Do not place this projector in any of the following environments. 
-  Space that is poorly ven tilated or confined. Allow at least 50 cm clearance from walls 
and free flow of air around the projector.
-  Locations where temperatures may become  excessively high, such as the inside of a 
car with all windows rolled up.
-  Locations where excessive humidity, dust,  or cigarette smoke may contaminate optical 
components, shortening th e projectors life span and darkening the picture.
-  Locations near fire alarms
-  Locations with an ambient  temperature above 40°C / 104°F
-  Locations where the altitudes are  higher than 3000 m (10000 feet). 
						

							
Important safety instructions
4 13. Do not block the ventilation holes. If the ve
ntilation holes are seriously obstructed, 
overheating inside the projector may result in a fire.
-  Do not place this projector on a blan ket, bedding or any other soft surface. 
-  Do not cover this projector with a cloth or any other item. 
-  Do not place inflammables near the projector.   
14. Always place the projector on a leve l, horizontal surface during operation.
-  Do not use if tilted at an angle of more than 10 degrees left  to right, nor at angle of 
more than 15 degrees front to back. Using the projector when it is not fully horizontal 
may cause a malfunction of,  or damage to, the lamp.
15. Do not stand the projector on  end vertically. Doing so may cause the projector to fall 
over, causing injury or resulting in damage to the projector.
16. Do not step on the projector or place  any objects upon it. Besides probable physical 
damage to the projector, doing so may re sult in accidents and possible injury.
17. Do not place liquids near or on the projector. Liquids spilled into the projector may  cause it to fail. If the projector does become wet, disconnect it from the power 
supplys wall socket and call your local service center to have the projector serviced.
18. This product is capable of displaying inverted pictures for ceiling mount installation. 
Use only qualified ceiling mount kit for mounting the projector and ensure it is 
securely installed. 
19. When the projector is under operation, you  may sense some heated air and odor from 
its ventilation grill. It is a normal  phenomenon and not a product defect.
20. Do not use the Security bar for transporting  or installation. It should be used with a 
commercially available theft prevention cable.
Safety instructions for  ceiling mounting of the 
projector
We want you to have a pleasant experience usi ng your projector, so we need to bring this 
safety matter to your attention to pr event damage to person and property.
If you intend to mount your projector on the  ceiling, we strongly recommend that you use a 
proper fitting projector ceiling mount kit and th at you ensure it is securely and safely 
installed.
If you use an inappropriate projector ceiling  mount kit, there is a safety risk that the 
projector may fall from the ceiling due to an  improper attachment through the use of the 
wrong gauge or length screws.
You can purchase a projector  ceiling mount kit from the place  you purchased your projector. 
We recommends that you also purchase a separa te Kensington lock compatible security 
cable and attach it securely to  both the Kensington lock slot on  the projector and the base of 
the ceiling mount bracket. This will perform th e secondary role of restraining the projector 
should its attachment to the m ounting bracket become loose.
