SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO 
RAIN OR MOISTURE .
–  This projector produces intense light from the projection 
lens.Do not stare directly into the lens, otherwise, eye 
damage could result.  Be especially careful that children 
do not stare directly into the beam.
–  Install the projector in a proper position.  If not, it may 
result in a fire hazard.
–  Provide appropriate space on the top, sides and rear
