6.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Switch off all equipment before connecting together the
various items. Be aware of static electricity that may build
up, especially in the dry season and when operating on
synthetic carpets. Discharge any static electricity by
touching a metallic surface before you start.
Do not cover the air inlets in front and on top of the projector
housing, as this will block the cooling. Also make sure to
place the projector on a flat, hard surface to avoid blocking
the air inlet at the bottom of the unit. A thermal safety switch
will cut off the illumination system if the ventilation is
reduced.
Do not connect any devices or cables other than those
supplied with the LCD projector into the connector ports on
the projector unit, even if the connector ports appear
identical, as this voids any warranty and may cause
permanent damage to the projector, and to the connected
source apparatus.

8 SPECIAL FEATURES OF YOUR LCD
PROJECTOR
8.1 INTELLIGENT COOLING SYSTEM
The fan operates as long as the LCD projector is switched on. Provided
that the power cord is connected, the fan continues to run for 2 minutes
even after the unit has been switched off. This ensures a continuous
protection against high temperature inside the projector. The cooling
system is designed to minimize stray light and noise. If the air flow is
blocked, a temperature safety fuse will automatically shut off the
projector to protect it from overheating.
8.2 SET-UP MEMORY
The user controlled set-up, that usually is done when the projector is
connected to a new computer, is automatically memorized for future use.
The set-up information is stored in a non-volatile memory approximately
5 seconds after the last key is pressed.
The memory can store 40 different sources/modes. Some sources are
predefined, while the remaining are available for customer set-up. See
the Technical Data section for compatibility.
Custom sources are added to the memory only if their sync pattern
differs from any of the previous selections. The projector automatically
selects a new memory location.
Most settings are stored individually for each mode, including contrast,
brightness, tune etc. See the remote control function table in section
Using the LCD Projector.
8.3 OSD SYSTEM
The OSD (On Screen Display) system echoes on screen your keypad or
remote control actions. The OSD may be switched off and on by
pressing the OSD key on the remote control.
27
USER GUIDE LCD PROJECTOR
8.4 RESET
This feature enables standard settings of most controls. RESET will only
reset the active mode.
A fundamental master reset may be performed by pressing all
four top panel keys simultaneously. All settings will return to
factory defaults, so do not perform a master reset unless it is
really required. This operation will also erase all custom sources
and modes that have been memorized.
8.5 POWER SAVE FEATURE
If ON/OFF is pressed on the remote control, the screen goes blank, and
after five minutes if there is no futher action the LCD projector lamp will
also switch off. Full power on is returned by pressing ON/OFF again on
the remote control.

10 MAINTENANCE
10.1 GENERAL
From time to time, the LCD projector unit and lens may be cleaned with
a damp, non-abrasive cloth to remove dust and dirt spots. The lens
should be cleaned with a mild dish-washing detergent solution, or with
standard lens cleaning solutions available from a photographic dealer.
Do not scratch the lens surface and use the lens cap for
added protection when the projector is not in use. Remember
to remove the lens-cap when the LCD projector is in use!
10.2 LAMP REPLACEMENT
The projector is using a 575W metal halide lamp for illumination. The
recommended lamp type is Osram HMI 575 W/GS Dual Ended. This
lamp is HIGH PRESSURE when operating. The lamp may not be
changed by the user for safety reasons and under the terms of the
warranty. Always refer to authorized dealers if the LCD projector
transmits a lamp replacement message.
There are no user servicable parts inside the projector. Never
touch any glass parts (lamp bulb or lenses), as the fingerprints
will burn and affect the optical quality of the projected image.
Also, fingerprints on the lamp bulb may cause damage and
possibly explosion of the lamp when in operation. If any parts
of the lamp or optics have been touched, it must be cleaned
using a cloth moistened with alcohol (included with
