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 enclo-
sure 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.
