anything around the projector that could be sucked in or stuck to the projector's
intake vents.

• Do not place the projector at places that are exposed to magnetic elds, doing

so can cause the cooling fans inside the projector to malfunction.
►Avoid placing the projector in smoky, humid or dusty place. Placing the
projector in such places could cause a re, an electric shock and malfunction of
the projector.

• Do not place the projector near humidiers. Especially for an ultrasonic

humidier, chlorine and minerals contained in tap water are atomized and could

be deposited in the projector causing image degradation or other problems.

• Do not place the projector in a smoking area, kitchen, passageway or by the

window.

NOTICE

Connecting with your devices (continued)

• If a loud feedback noise is produced from the speaker, move the

microphone away from the speaker.

NOTE

•

You can connect a dynamic microphone to the MIC port with a 3.5 mm mini-plug.

In that case, the built-in speaker outputs the sound from the microphone, even
while the sound from the projector is output. You can input line level signal to
the MIC port from equipment such as wireless microphone. Select HIGH in the
MIC LEVEL item of the AUDIO menu when you input line level audio signal
to the MIC port. In the normal mode, the volume of the microphone can be
adjusted separately from the volume of the projector using the menu (46, 47).
In the standby mode, the volume of the microphone is adjustable with the
VOLUME +/- buttons on the remote control, in synchronization with the volume
of the projector (

19).
Even when the sound of projector is set to mute mode by the AUDIO SOURCE
function (46), the volume of the microphone is adjustable.
In both modes (standby or normal), the MUTE button on the remote control
works on the sounds of the microphone and the projector (19).

About the remote control signal

The remote control works with the projector’s remote
sensor. This projector has a remote sensor on the front.
The sensor senses the signal within the following range
when the sensor is active:

60 degrees (30 degrees to the left and right of the sensor)
within 3 meters about.

Installing the batteries

Please insert the batteries into the remote control before using it. If the remote control
starts to malfunction, try to replace the batteries. If you will not use the remote control for
long period, remove the batteries from the remote control and store them in a safe place.

1.

Holding the hook part of the battery
cover, remove it.

2.

Align and insert the two AA batteries
(HITACHI MAXELL, Part No.LR6 or R6P)
according to their plus and minus terminals
as indicated in the remote control.

3.

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

►Always handle the batteries with care and use them only as
directed. Improper use may result in battery explosion, cracking or leakage,
which could result in  re, injury and/or pollution of the surrounding environment.

• Be sure to use only the batteries speci ed. Do not use batteries of different

types at the same time. Do not mix a new battery with used one.

•

Make sure the plus and minus terminals are correctly aligned when loading a battery.

• Keep a battery away from children and pets.

• Do not recharge, short circuit, solder or disassemble a battery.

•

Do not place a battery in a  re or water. Keep batteries in a dark, cool and dry place.

•

If you observe battery leakage, wipe out the leakage and then replace a battery.
If the leakage adheres to your body or clothes, rinse well with water immediately.

• Obey the local laws on disposing the battery.

CAUTION

•

If it is dif cult to send the signal to the sensor directly, attempt to make the

signal re ect.

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

•

The remote control may not work correctly if strong light (such as direct sun
light) or light from an extremely close range (such as from an inverter  uorescent
lamp) shines on the remote sensor of the projector. Adjust the position of
projector avoiding those lights.
