become excessively high, such as the
inside of a car with all windows rolled up.
- Locations where excessive humidity, dust,
or cigarette smoke may contaminate
optical components, shortening the
projector’s life span and darkening the
image.
Doing so may cause the unit to fall over,
causing injury or resulting in damage to
the unit.
11. Do not step on this unit or place any
objects upon it.
- Locations near fire alarms
- Locations with an ambient temperature
