WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE
THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
This projector projects intense light from the projection lens. Do not stare directly into
the lens if possible, as doing so may result in eye damage. Be especially careful that
children do not stare directly into the beam.
Install the projector in an appropriate position.
Installing the projector in an inappropriate position may result in a fire hazard.
Allow for appropriate space above beside and behind of the projector cabinet for
allowing air circulation and cooling of the projector. Minimum clearances must be
maintained. If the projector is to be built into a compartment or similarly space, the
minimum distances must be maintained. Do not cover the ventilation slot on the
projector. Heat build-up can reduce the service life of your projector, and can also be
dangerous.

Do not put any flammable objects or spray cans near the projector, as the hot air
exhausted from the ventilation holes may result in an explosion.
If the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time, unplug it from the
power outlet.
