Always – remove the lens cap and open the shitter when the projector has been turned on.
Use a power bar, surge protector or power stabilizer to prevent any electrical surges from ruining the projector. The projector is designed to operate between 100 to 240 volts AC.
Make the projector has plenty of room. Never block the projection lens vents with objects. This can cause the objects to melt or even catch fire since the projector operates under high heat.
Never cover it with a blanket or cloth when it’s operating. Never place the projector on a blanket or soft service, particularly one that can melt.
Make sure the projector is on stable table or stand. If the projector falls it could be badly damaged.
Always operate the projector on a level horizontal surface. If the projector is not fully horizontal this may cause damage to the lamp. Don’t tilt at more that an 10 degree angle left to right nor at an angle more than 15 degrees front to back.

Always unplug the projector before replacing the lamp, cleaning the filters or replacing any other electronic components.
