When turning off the projector, the cooling fan runs to decrease the internal temperature for a while. Unplug the power cord after the cool- ing fan stops. The period the cooling fan runs will vary, depending on the circumstances and the internal temperature.

Caution regarding usage of the projector

When using the projector, be sure not to sub- ject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this can result in damage. Take extra care with the lens. Before moving the projector, be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables connected to it.

Do not carry the projector by holding the lens.

When storing the projector, re-attach the lens cap. (See page 11).
