The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended
to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the litera-
ture accompanying the appliance.
WARNING:
TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
CAUTION:
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT USE THIS (POLARIZED) PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION
CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO
PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.
NOTE:
SINCE THIS PROJECTOR IS PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, THE SOCKET-OUTLET SHALL BE IN-
STALLED NEAR THE EQUIPMENT AND SHALL BE EASILY ACCESSIBLE.
WARNING
Use the attached specified shielded power supply
cord. If you use another power-supply cord, it may
cause interference with radio and television
reception.
Use the attached VGA cable, RS-232C cable with this
equipment so as to keep interference within the limit
of a Class A device.
This apparatus must be grounded.
The projector automatically shuts off when the

at a level that gains proper operation in residential
areas, on business and light industrial premises and
on small-scale enterprises, inside as well as outside
by their connection to the public low voltage power
supply system.
WARNING
Use the attached RGB cable or RS-232C cable with
this equipment so as to keep interference within the
limits of a EN55022 Class A. Please follow
WARNINGS instructions.
