7.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including

8.
Do not defeat the safety feature of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized type plug has two blades with
one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The third prong is
provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
9.

minutes prior to removing the lamp assembly for replacement. Do not operate lamps beyond the rated lamp life.
Excessive operation of lamps beyond rated life could cause them to explode in rare occasions.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the projector has been damaged in any
way, including but not limited to objects having fallen or liquids having been spilled into the projector, exposure to
rain or condensing moisture, unexplained failure to operate normally, or the unit having been dropped.
