may be damaged by persons walking on it.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the projector.
For added protection to the projector during a lightning storm,
or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage
due to lightning and power line surges.
Do not attempt to service this projector yourself as opening or
