The bright light may harm your eyes. · Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air flow can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must wait a minute before attempting to turn it back on. · Handle the projector as you would any product with glass components. Be especially careful not to drop it. · Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold for extended periods of time. If this happens, allow it to reach room temperature before use. · Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case. Part numbers for these cases are listed on page 41.
