Usage Guidelines
1
. Do not look directly into the projection lens when the lamp is turned on. The bright light may
harm your eyes.

off. If this happens, you must wait a minute before turning it back on.
3.
Handle the projector as you would any product with glass components. Be especially careful
not to drop it.

this happens, allow it to reach room temperature before use.
5

vendor-approved
hard or soft case.

prolonged
