dampened with mild detergent solution.  Never use strong solvents,
such as thinner or benzine, or abrasive cleaners, since these will
damage the cabinet.
-  To  ensure  the  highest  optical  performance  and  resolution,  the
projection  lenses  are  specially  treated  with  an  anti-reflective
coating, therefore, avoid touching the lens.  To remove dust on the
lens,  use  a  soft  dry  cloth.  Do  not  use  a  damp  cloth,  detergent
solution, or thinner.
On installation
On repacking
1. Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table.
The product may fall, causing serious damage to it.
2. Do not use this equipment near water.
3.  Slots  and  openings  in  the  cabinet  and  the  back  or  bottom  are
provided for ventilation; to ensure reliable operation of the product
and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked
or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the
product on a bed, sofa, rug,  or other similar surface. This product
should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.
The projector should not be placed in a built-in installation or enclosure
unless proper ventilation is provided.
4. Do not block the projector cooling fans or free air movement under
and around the projector.  Loose papers or other objects may not be
nearer to the projector than 4" on any side.
On servicing
Do  not  attempt  to  service  this  product  yourself,  as  opening  or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage potentials
and  risk of electric  shock!
Save the original shipping carton and packing material; they will come
in  handy  if  you  ever  have  to  ship  your  equipment.  For  maximum
protection, repack your set as it was originally packed at the factory.
On illumination
In order to obtain the best quality for the projected image, it is essential
that the ambient light which is allowed to fall on the screen be kept
to an absolute minimum.
When installing the projector and screen, care must be taken to avoid
exposure  to  ambient  light  directly  on  the  screen.    Avoid  adverse
illumination on the screen from direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting
fixtures.
The use of controlled ambient lighting, such as incandescent spot light
or a dimmer, is recommended for proper room illumination.  Where
possible, care should also be taken to ensure that the floors and walls
of the room in which the projector is to be installed are non-reflecting,
dark surfaces.  Brighter surfaces will tend to reflect  and diffuse the
ambient light and hence reduce the contrast of the projected image
on  the  screen.
