Page 5: Precautions With Regard To Safety
Precautions with regard to safety WARNING If you notice smoke, strange smells or noise coming from the projector, disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket. B Do not continue to use the projector in such cases, otherwise fire or electric shocks could result. - Page 6 B If the mains lead is used while damaged, electric shocks, short-circuits or fire may result. B Ask an Authorised Service Centre to carry out any repairs to the mains lead that might be necessary. Do not handle the mains plug with wet hands. B Failure to observe this may result in electric shocks.
