A fall or a turnover could cause an injury and/or damage to the projector. Then using damaged projector could result in a fire and/or an electric shock. · Do not place the projector on an unstable, slant or vibrant surface such as a wobbly or inclined stand. · Do not place the projector in the side/front/rear-up position, except cleaning the air filter. Place the projector in a cool place, and pay attention enough to ventilation. The high temperature of the projector could cause a fire, a burn and/or malfunction to the projector. · Do not stop up, block and cover the projector's vents. · Keep a space of 30 cm or more between the sides and other objects such as walls. · Do not place the projector on a metallic thing or anything weak in heat. · Do not place the projector on a carpet, cushion or bedding. · Do not place the projector in direct sunlight or near a hot object such as a heater. · Put nothing about lens and vents of the projector. Put nothing on the projector. · Put nothing that is sucked or sticks to the bottom of projector. This projector has some intake vents also on the bottom. Do not place the projector on the place that gets wet. Damping the projector or inserting liquid in the projector could cause a fire, an electric shock and/or malfunction to the projector. · Do not place the projector in a bathroom or the outdoors. · Put nothing containing the liquid near the projector. CAUTION Avoid a smoky, humid or dusty place. Placing the projector in such place could cause a fire, an electric shock and/or malfunction to the projector. · Do not place the projector near a humidifier, a smoking space or a kitchen.
