Frequently asked questions

What safety precaution must be taken when looking into the projector lens?

Never look into the projector lens when the lamp is turned on because the bright light can damage your eyes.

What specific condition requires using a cloth or glove to handle a new lamp?

You must never touch the new lamp with bare hands because invisible oil residue may shorten the lamp life.

Under what conditions might the projector fail to respond to remote control commands?

The projector may not respond if there is an object between the emitter and receiver, ambient light is too bright, or a strong light source shines into the IR receiver.
