You should never operate the JVC LX-NZ30 projector immediately after moving it from a cold location to a hot one. When the projector is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture may condense on crucial internal parts. To prevent possible damage, do not use the projector for at least 2 hours when there is a sudden change in temperature.

If you intend to mount your JVC LX-NZ30 projector on the ceiling, it is strongly recommended that you use a proper fitting projector ceiling mount kit and ensure it is securely and safely installed. An improper attachment can be a safety risk. You can purchase a proper ceiling mount kit from the place you purchased your projector. It is also recommended to purchase a separate Kensington lock compatible security cable and attach it securely to both the Kensington lock slot on the projector and the base of the ceiling mount bracket. This acts as a secondary restraint if the attachment becomes loose.
