A 13 amp fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 13 amps and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. Check for the ASTA mark ASA or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse. If the plug contains a removable fuse cover, you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced.

If the fitted moulded plug is unsuitable for the mains socket in your home, then the fuse should be removed and the plug cut off and disposed of safely. There is a danger of severe electrical shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13 amp socket. If a new plug is to be fitted, please observe the wiring code as shown below. If in any doubt, please consult a qualified electrician. WARNING: -- THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

B Do not continue to use the projector in such cases, otherwise fire or electric shocks could result. B Check that no more smoke is coming out, and then contact an Authorised Service Centre for repairs. B Do not attempt to repair the projector yourself, as this can be dangerous. Do not install this projector in a place which is not strong enough to take the full weight of the projector. B If the installation location is not strong enough, it may fall down or tip over, and severe injury or damage could result. Installation work (such as ceiling suspension) should only be carried out by a qualified technician. B If installation is not carried out correctly, there is the danger that injury or electric shocks may occur. If foreign objects or water get inside the projector, or if the projector is dropped or the cabinet is broken, turn off the power and disconnect the mains lead from the mains socket. B Continued use of the projector in this condition may result in fire or electric shocks. B Contact an Authorised Service Centre for repairs. Do not overload the mains socket. B If the power supply is overloaded (for example, by using too many adapters), overheating may occur and fire may result. Do not remove the cover or modify it in any way. B High voltages can cause fire or electric shocks. B For any inspection, adjustment and repair work, please contact an Authorised Service Centre. Clean the mains plug regularly to prevent it from becoming covered in dust. B If dust builds up on the mains plug, the resulting humidity can damage the insulation, which could result in fire. Pull the mains lead out from the mains socket and wipe it with a dry cloth. B If not using the projector for an extended period of time, pull the mains plug out from the mains socket.

B If the mains lead is used while damaged, electric shocks, short-circuits or fire may result. B Ask an Authorised Service Centre to carry out any repairs to the mains lead that might be necessary. Do not handle the mains plug with wet hands. B Failure to observe this may result in electric shocks. Insert the mains plug securely into the mains socket. B If the plug is not inserted correctly, electric shocks or overheating could result. B Do not use plugs which are damaged or mains sockets which are coming loose from the wall. Do not place the projector on top of surfaces which are unstable. B If the projector is placed on top of a surface which is sloped or unstable, it may fall down or tip over, and injury or damage could result. Do not place the projector into water or let it become wet. B Failure to observe this may result in fire or electric shocks. Do not place liquid containers on top of the projector. B If water spills onto the projector or gets inside it, fire or electric shocks could result. B If any water gets inside the projector, contact an Authorised Service Centre. Do not insert any foreign objects into the projector. B Do not insert any metal objects or flammable objects into the projector or drop them onto the projector, as doing so can result in fire or electric shocks. Keep the batteries out of the reach of infants. B If the batteries are swallowed, death by suffocation may result. If you believe that the batteries may have been swallowed, seek medical advice immediately. Do not allow the + and - terminals of the batteries to come into contact with metallic objects such as necklaces or hairpins. B Failure to observe this may cause the batteries to leak, overheat, explode or catch fire. B Store the batteries in a plastic bag and keep them away from metallic objects. During a thunderstorm, do not touch the projector or the cable. B Electric shocks can result. Do not use the projector in a bath or shower. B Fire or electric shocks can result. Do not look into the lens while the projector is being used. B Strong light is emitted from the projector's lens. If you look directly into this light, it can hurt and damage your eyes. B Be especially careful not to let young children look into the lens. In addition, disconnect the mains lead when you are away from the projector. Do not place your hands or other objects close to the air outlet port. B Heated air comes out of the air outlet port. Do not place your hands or face, or objects which cannot withstand heat close to this port, otherwise burns or damage could result. When replacing the lamp, allow it to cool for at least one hour before handling it. B The lamp cover gets very hot, and contact with it can cause burns. Before replacing the lamp, be sure to disconnect the mains lead from the mains socket. B Electric shocks or explosions can result if this is not done.

B Using the projector under such conditions may result in fire or electric shocks. When disconnecting the mains lead, hold the plug, not the lead. B If the mains lead itself is pulled, the lead will become damaged, and fire, short-circuits or serious electric shocks may result. Always disconnect all cables before moving the projector. B Moving the projector with cables still attached can damage the cables, which could cause fire or electric shocks to occur. Do not place any heavy objects on top of the projector. B Failure to observe this may cause the projector to beco ...
