Notes on use

In order to get the best picture quality

Draw curtains or blinds over any windows and turn off any fluorescent lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen.

Do not touch the surfaces of the lens with your bare hands.

If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the screen. Moreover, when not using the projector, retract the lens and then cover it with the lens cover.

Screen

Do not apply any volatile substances which may cause discoloration to the screen, and do not let it become dirty or damaged.

Lamp

The lamp may need to be replaced earlier due to variables such as individual lamp characteristics, usage conditions and the installation environment, especially when the projector is subjected to continuous use for more than 10 hours or the power is frequently turned on and off.

Liquid crystal panel

The liquid crystal panel of the projector is built with very high precision technology to provide fine picture details. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as fixed points of blue, green or red. Please note that this does not affect the performance of your LCD.

Wireless card (PT-LB10NTU only)

Static electricity from the human body can damage the wireless card. To prevent this, touch a nearby metallic object such as an aluminium sash or a door knob to dissipate the static charge from your body.

Preparation for the remote control unit

Back side

Push the tab

Pull out

Match the “+” surface of the battery with the “+” marked side of the battery holder.

NOTE:

BDo not drop the remote control unit.

BKeep the remote control unit away from liquids.

BRemove the battery if not using the remote control unit for long periods.

BUse only CR2025 batteries as replacement batteries.

BIf the remote control unit is held so that it is facing directly in front of the remote control signal receptor, the operating range is within approximately 7 m (23´) from the surfaces of the receptor. Furthermore, the remote control unit can be operated from an angle of ±30° to the left or right and ±15° above or below the receptors.

BIf there are any obstacles in between the remote control unit and the receptor, the remote control unit may not operate correctly.

BIf strong light is allowed to shine onto the remote control signal receptor, correct projector operation may not be possible. Place the projector as far away from light sources as possible.

BIf facing the remote control unit toward the screen to operate the projector, the operating range of the remote control unit will be limited by the amount of light reflection loss caused by the characteristics of the screen used.
