B Notices This appendix includes safety instructions and other important information about your projector. Important Safety Instructions Follow these safety instructions when setting up and using the projector: ■ Do not look into the lens when the projector is on. The bright light can damage your eyes. ■ Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table. ■ Do not operate the projector on its side, or while tilted to one side.
Notices ■ Never push objects of any kind through the cabinet slots. ■ Do not use or store the projector or remote control in a hot location, such as near a heater, in direct sunlight, or in a closed vehicle. ■ Do not block the slots and openings in the projector case. They provide ventilation and prevent the projector from overheating. Do not operate the projector on a sofa, rug, or other soft surface, or set it on top of loose papers, which could block vents underneath your projector.
■ Use the type of power source indicated on the projector. Use of a different power source may result in fire or electric shock. If you are not sure of the power available, consult your dealer or power company. ■ If you use the projector in a country other than where you purchased it, use the correct power cord for that country. ■ Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or power strips. Do not insert the plug into a dusty outlet. This can cause fire or electric shock.
