•It may take about one minute for the lamp to light up.

•Do not cover the lens with the lens cap while the lamp is on. Do not strip off the aluminium sheet inside the lens cap.

•After the POWER button is pressed, the image may flicker before the lamp becomes stable. This is not a prod- uct malfunction.
