Safety

Please read below before operating:

•

Do not look directly into the lens or open the case while the projector is running. This could cause severe injury to your eyes.

•

Please keep the projector away from liquids. This could cause electric shock and damage your projector.

•

Do not attempt to change the lamp while the projector is running or soon after it has been turned off. If you need to change the lamp please consult the “Lamp Replacement” section at the end of this user guide.

•

After you turn off the projector please wait 15 minutes before turning it back on. Failing to wait 15 minutes will decrease the life of the lamp and the projector.

•

Please only use the unit or remote power button to turn off the projector.

Do not unplug the unit while it’s running or turn the unit off using the main power switch. This will cause severe damage to the lamp and the projector.

•

Do not cover any of the projector vents.

•

There are protective circuits and alarming devices located inside the projector. When the internal temperature rises caused by an improper environment or blocked vents, the projector will shut down automatically.

We strongly recommend you keep the projector in a cool room. This will prolong the overall life of the projector.

•

Please keep the projector where the temperature does not exceed 85 °F

(29.4 °C). The LCD inside the projector will develop black spots if left in warm environments. This heat damage will not be covered under warranty.

When you are done using the projector and the fan has shut off, please turn off the main power switch and remove the plug. This will avoid damage from potential voltage waves.

•

The projector is composed of many precise electronic and optical components. Other than changing the lamp there are no parts that should be serviced by the owner.

Step 3 - Focusing

The image size can only be adjusted by moving the projector. Once you have the correct image size please gently twist the lens to focus. If the image is distorted please use the keystone correction wheel located on the bottom of the unit.
