Important precautions

To avoid any potential hazards to the projector, make sure not to obstruct the air-intake and exhaust grills. Do not oper- ate the projector if these areas are clogged or blocked.

Allow sufficient air flow

Caution: The lamp chamber gets very hot during opera- tion, especially the ceramic sockets at each end of the lamp. Be careful when you open the lamp chamber or change the lamp. To allow that area to cool down, press the button to turn off the lamp and let the fan cool the projector for at least five minutes before you touch any of those compo- nents. See Chapter 5, Maintenance, for more information.
