Page 5: Precautions With Regard To Safety
B Do not attempt to repair the projector yourself, as this can be dangerous. Do not look into the lens while the projector is being used. B Strong light is emitted from the projector’s lens. If you look directly into this light, it can hurt and damage your eyes. - Page 6 Do not place the projector on top of surfaces which are unstable. B If the projector is placed on top of a surface which is sloped or unstable, it may fall down or tip over, and injury or damage could result.
- Page 7 B Doing so may cause the projector to overheat, which can cause fire or damage to the projector. Do not set up the projector in humid or dusty places or in places where the projector may come into contact with smoke or steam.
- Page 8 B If dust is left to build up inside the projector without being cleaned out, it can result in fire or problems with operation. B It is a good idea to clean the inside of the projector before the season for humid weather arrives. Ask your nearest Authorized Service Center to clean the projector when required.
