Key safety instructions
Design and testing of your projector have been carried out in compliance\
 with the 
latest safety standards for information technology (IT) devices. Howev\
er, it is extremely 
important for you to follow the instructions provided in this manual and\
 product labels 
during use to ensure user safety.
Safety Instructions
•	Please read through this manual before using the projector. Save it for future 
reference.
•	 Do not look directly into the projector lens during use.  The intense light beam 
may damage your eyes.
•	 Refer	servicing	to	qualified	service	personnel.
•	 Always open the lens shutter or remove the lens cap when the projector l\
ight 
source has been switched on.
•  Stable line voltage may not be available in certain countries. 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).
•  Do not block the projection lens with any object when using the projecto\
r as this could 
cause the said objects to overheat, deform, or even cause a fire.  To temporarily turn 
off the light source, press the [BLANK] button on the projector or remote \
control.
•  Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall 
and sustain serious damages.
•  Do not attempt to disassemble this projector. The projector contains high voltage parts 
that may cause electrocution or death when it comes in contact with the \
human body.  
Under no circumstances should you ever undo or remove any other covers. \
Refer 
servicing to qualified service personnel.
•  Do not place the projector in any of the following environments.
 
- Space that is poorly ventilated or confined. Allow at least 50 cm clearance from 
walls and ensure free flow of air around the projector.
 
- Locations where temperatures may become excessively high, such as the in\
side of 
a car with all windows rolled up.
 
- Locations that are too humid, dusty, or smoky may contaminate optical 
components, shortening the projector's life span and darkening the image\
.
 
- Locations near fire alarms
 
- Locations where temperature exceed 35°C/104°F.
 
- Locations with altitudes greater than 3000 m (10000 feet). 
						

							2
• 
Do not block the ventilation holes. If the ventilation holes are serious\
ly obstructed, 
overheating inside the projector may result in a fire.
 
- Do not place this projector on a blanket, bedding, or any other soft sur\
face.
 
- Do not cover this projector with a cloth or any other item.
 
- Do not place inflammables near the projector.
•  Do not step on the projector or place any object upon it. These acts may damage the 
projector itself as well as cause accidents or personal injury.
•  Do not place liquids near or on the projector. Liquids spilled into the projector may 
cause damage. If the projector does become wet, please unplug the power \
cable from 
the power socket and contact your local repair center for repairs.
•  This product can be mounted on a ceiling suspension mount for back proje\
ction.
Use only ceiling suspension mounts that comply with the relevant require\
ments and 
ensure that the installation is secure.
• When the projector is under operation, you may sense some heated air and\
 odor from 
its ventilation grill. This is a normal phenomenon and not a product defect.
•  Do not use the safety lever during transport or installation purposes. The safety lever 
should only be used with the anti-theft cables sold on the market.
Safety instructions for ceiling mounting of the projector
We hope you to have a pleasant user experience with our projector. This is why we’re 
bringing these safety reminders to your attention to prevent possible da\
mage to person 
and property.
If you intend to mount your projector on the ceiling, we strongly recomm\
end that you use a 
suitable projector ceiling mount kit and ensure it is securely and safel\
y installed.
There may be safety risks if you fail to use an appropriate projector ce\
iling mounting kit. 
Use of inappropriate connectors or screws of the wrong specifications or length may cause 
the projector to fall from the ceiling.
You can purchase a projector ceiling mounting kit from the projector deal\
er. We 
recommend buying a safety harness in addition to the mounting kit. The harness should be 
securely connected to the anti-theft locking groove on the projector as \
well as the base of 
the ceiling mounting support. This will provide additional protection in case the connectors 
of the mounting support becoming loose.
