Important Information Precautions with regard to safety WARNINGS If you notice smoke, strange smells or noise coming from the projector, disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket. Do not continue to use the projector in such cases, otherwise fire or electric shocks could result. Check that no more smoke is coming out, and then contact an Authorised Service Centre for repairs. Do not attempt to repair the projector yourself, as this can be dangerous.
Do not place your skin into the light beam while the projector is being used. Strong light is emitted from the projector’s lens. If you place directly into this light, it can hurt or damage your skin. Do not allow the + and - terminals of the batteries to come into contact with metallic objects such as necklaces or hairpins. Failure to observe this may cause the batteries to leak, overheat, explode or catch fire. Store the batteries in a plastic bag and keep them away from metallic objects.
Important Information Precautions with regard to safety When inserting the batteries, make sure the polarities (+ and -) are correct. If the batteries are inserted incorrectly, they may explode or leak, and fire, injury or contamination of the battery compartment and surrounding area may result. Use only the specified batteries. If incorrect or different kind of batteries are used, they may explode or leak, and fire, injury or contamination of the battery compartment and surrounding area may result.
Cautions when installing Avoid setting up in places which are subject to vibration or shocks. The internal parts can be damaged, which may cause malfunctions or accidents.
