of fire, electric shock or injury to
persons.

electrical outlet wiring must comply
with local building codes and other
applicable regulations to reduce

Locating the Aquarium
The Opti-V uses an illusory
reflection technique and is
designed to work best when
ambient light levels are low. If the
Opti-V is installed in brightly lit
areas, the strong reflections may
diminish the aquarium scene.
Depending on your specific
application, installation of the unit
at a height appropriate for the
viewers enjoyment is important. It
is recommended that the following
guidelines be used for locating the
unit, when creating a custom case.
