USING THE REMOTE CONTROL

Putting batteries into the remote control unit

CAUTION

Always handle the batteries with care and use them only as directed. Improper use may result in

battery cracking or leakage, which could result in fire, injury and/or pollution of the surrounding environment.

• Keep the battery away from children and pets.

•

Be sure to use only the batteries specified for use with the remote control. Do not mix new batteries with used ones.

•

When inserting batteries, verify that the plus and minus terminals are aligned correctly (as indicated in the remote control).

• When you dispose the battery, you should obey the law in the relative area or country.

Remove the battery cover

1

Slide back and remove the battery cover in the direction of the
arrow.

Insert the batteries

2

Align and insert the two AA Alkaline batteries (that came
with the projector) according to their plus and minus
terminals (as indicated in the remote control).

Close the battery cover

3

Replace the battery cover in the direction of the arrow and
snap it back into place.

Precautions to observe in regards to the batteries

12

Operating the remote control

• The remote control works with both
the projector's front and rear remote
sensors.

• The range of the remote sensor on
the front is 3 meters with a 90-degree
range (45 degrees to the left and
right of the remote sensor), and back
is 3 meters with a 60-degree range.

• Since the remote control uses
infrared light to send signals to the
projector (Class 1 LED), be sure to
use the remote control in an area free
from obstacles that could block the
remote control's output signal to the
projector.

ATTENTION

Precautions to observe when using the remote control

• Do not drop or otherwise expose the remote control to physical impact.

• Do not get the remote control wet or place it on wet objects. Doing so may result in

malfunction.

• Remove the batteries from the remote control and store them in a safe place if you
won't be using the remote control for an extended period.

• Replace the batteries whenever the remote control starts to malfunction.

• When strong light, such as direct sunlight or light from an extremely close range

(such as from an inverter fluorescent lamp), hits the projector's remote sensor, the
remote control may cease to function. Adjust the direction of the projector to keep
light from directly hitting the projector's remote sensor.

Example : OPTION Menu

(VOLUME)

THE LAMP

The LCD projector uses a glass lamp bulb. It is a mercury lamp with high

internal pressure. High-pressure mercury lamps can break with a loud
bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, or through wear over time. 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.

•

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

•

If the replace lamp indicator (see "Related Messages" ( ) and "Regarding the
indicator Lamps" ( )) comes on, 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.

•

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.

•

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.

•

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.

• Do not use the projector with the lamp door removed.

WARNING

34
35

Before replacing the lamp, turn off the power, and unplug the power

cord, then wait at least 45 minutes, in order to ensure that the lamp is

properly cooled. Removing the lamp bulb while it is still hot could cause burns, or cause
the lamp bulb to burst.

WARNING

HIGH VOLTAGE
HIGH TEMPERATURE
HIGH PRESSURE

Before replacing the lamp, check the serial number of the replacement lamp bulb (sold separately:
78-6969-9463-7 for S40 / 78-6969-9565-9 for X40), then contact your local dealer.

29

Replacing the lamp

34

28

All projector lamps will wear out eventually. If used for long periods of time, the image could become
darkened, and the color contrast could be impacted as well. We recommend that you replace your lamps
early. If the lamp indicator turns red, or a message prompts you to replace the lamp when you power up
the projector, the lamp needs to be replaced. (See "Related Messages" ( ) and "Regarding the
Indicator Lamps" ( ) for details.)
