Safety precautions
Using your LED projector
•
Refer to the manual and take note of the safety instructions
before operating your LED projector.
•
Follow the notes and warnings stated in the user manual.
•
Do not place your LED projector on uneven or unstable surfaces.
•
Do not use your LED projector in smoky environments. Smoke
residue may cause build-up on critical parts and damage the
LED projector or decrease its performance.
•
Keep the LED projector’s plastic packages out of the reach of
children.
•
Do not block or place anything near the LED projector’s
ventilation holes. Doing so may cause internal heat build-up
that can degrade picture quality and damage the projector.
•
Ensure that the operating voltage of your LED projector
matches the voltage of your power source.
Servicing and replacement of parts

Caring for your LED projector
•
Switch off then unplug the LED projector from the power outlet
before cleaning it.
•
When cleaning the LED projector’s housing, use a clean soft
cloth dampened with water or a mix of water and neutral
detergent. Wipe it dry using a soft dry cloth.
•
Ensure that the lens is cool before cleaning it. Gently wipe the
lens using a lens cleaning paper. Do not touch the lens with
your hands.
•
Do not use liquid or aerosole cleaners, benzene, or thinners on
your LED projector.
•
Never operate this LED projector immediately after moving it
from a cold location. When the LED projector is exposed to a
drastic change in temperature, moisture may condense on the
lens and its other internal parts. To prevent this, use the unit two
(2) hours after an extreme or sudden change in temperature
occurs.
Proper disposal
Do not throw your LED projector in municipal waste. This
product has been designed to enable proper reuse of parts
and recycling. The symbol of the crossed out wheeled bin
indicates that the product (electrical, electronic equipment
and mercury-containing button cell battery) should not
be placed in municipal waste. Check local regulations for
disposal of electronic products.
Do not throw the battery in municipal waste. The symbol
of the crossed out wheeled bin indicates that the battery
should not be placed in municipal waste.
