activate the laptop’s RGB external image output (set the laptop to CRT display or to simultaneous LCD and CRT display). For details on how this is done, please refer to the instruction manual of the corresponding laptop computer.

About Plug-and-Play Capability

• This projector is compatible with VESA DDC 1/2B. Plug-and-Play can be achieved by connecting this projector to computers that are VESA DDC (display data channel) compatible. Please take advantage of this function by connecting the accessory RGB cable to the rgb port (DDC 1/2B compatible). Plug-and-Play may not work properly if any other type of connection is attempted.

• Plug-and-Play is a system composed of the computer, its operating system and peripheral equipment (i.e. display devices).

• Please use the standard drivers in your computer as this projector is a Plug-and-Play monitor.

NOTE

• Some computers may have multiple display screen modes. Use of some of

these modes will not be possible with this projector.

• For some RGB input modes, the optional Mac adapter is necessary.

• When the image resolution is changed on a computer, depending on an input,

automatic adjust function may take some time and may not be completed. In this case, you may not be able to see a check box to select “Yes/No” for the new resolution on Windows. Then the resolution will go back to the original. It might be recommended to

use other CRT or TFT monitors to change the resolution.

Lamp

The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp can break with a loud bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, handled while hot, or worn over time.

Note that each lamp has a different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them. In addition, when the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to fly into the lamp housing, and for gas containing mercury to escape from the projector’s vent holes.

• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), unplug the power cord from the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement lamp from your local dealer. Note that shards of glass could damage the projector’s internals, or cause injury during handling, so please do not try to clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.

• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), ventilate the room well, and make sure not to breathe the gas that comes out of the projector vents, or get it in your eyes or mouth.

• Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from above. This is dangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the shards will fall out when the cover is opened. In addition, working in high places is dangerous, so ask your local dealer to have the lamp replaced even if the bulb is not broken

• If the indicators or a message prompts you to replace the lamp (see the section “Related Messages” and “Regarding the indicator Lamps”), replace the lamp as soon

as possible. Using the lamp for long periods of time, or past the replacement date, could cause it to burst. Do not use old (used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.

• If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible that there are electrical problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this happens, contact your local dealer or a service representative.

• Use the lamp of the specified type only. See the section "Accessories".

• Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst during use.

• Before replacing the lamp, make sure the power switch is off and the power cable is

not plugged in, then wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool sufficiently. Handling the lamp while hot can cause burns, as well as damaging the lamp.

• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed. At the lamp replacing, make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws could result in damage or injury.

• Obey local ordinances when disposing of used lamps. In most cases, it is possible to dispose of used bulbs in the same manner as used glass bottles, but in some cases, bulbs are sorted separately.

WARNING

HIGH VOLTAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE HIGH PRESSURE

Turn off the projector, and unplug the power cord. Allow the lamp bulb to cool for at least 45 minutes.

Insert the new lamp, and tighten the 2 screws firmly to lock it in place.
