sea level, or is hotter than 40°C.

Operation under "High Altitude Mode" may cause a higher decibel operating noise level because of increased
fan speed necessary to improve overall system cooling and performance.
If you use this projector under other extreme conditions excluding the above, it may display auto shut-down
symptoms, which is designed to protect your projector from over-heating. In cases like this, you should switch
to High Altitude mode to solve these symptoms. However, this is not to state that this projector can operate
under any and all harsh or extreme conditions.
